This is the end. I hoped you enjoyed the story ^_^. Thanks for all the great reviews!!


Day Two

Frank walked into the Robert's dinning room excited about the progress that had been made.

"Harm, Mac? You guys did a great job. Since the buffet table is primed and ready to be painted I thought I'd have Ty bring it outside for us so we can get to work on it."

Once outside Frank went over what was going to happen.

"To cut on time we are first going to spray paint the buffet this dark green color. Then using these sponges we will sponge a layer of sage on top."

At first Harm wasn't too sure he would like what they were doing. But once they were half way through he had to admit that it did look nice.

"Harm I'm proud of you. You finished the whole buffet without getting a single drop of paint on you," Mac said with a smile.

"Ha ha very funny Marine. Yesterday was just a case of bad luck I'm never that clumsy."

Mac just started laughing.

"What?" Harm asked.

"Oh nothing," Mac said still laughing.

Harm just shook his head. He'd been married to Mac for over fifteen years and she baffled him. But he had to smile. This was a puzzle he definitely enjoyed solving.


"Bud how are the shades coming?" Harriet asked as she finished attaching the last slipcover to the love-seat in the corner of the room.

"I just finished them. I just need help hanging them," he said as he brought them into the room.

"Sure let me just get the ladder from Laurie."

Laurie made her way out to see Ty to see how her coffee table/storage cabinet was turning out.

"Hey Laurie. I'm just putting the finishing touches on the table," Ty said as he hammered the last nail in.

The table had a two cubes on either end and a top that came off leaving room in the cubes to store things. Laurie loved how the table had turned out. Once Ty was done with it she would have Harriet and Bud start on decorating it. She had found this new product that she wanted to try on it. They were pictures that you placed on the wood then used a special laquer to bond it to the wood. When it was done it look like the scene had been hand painted onto the item.


The buffet table was complete and Ty was now in the processes of helping them move it back into the room.

"Just move it a little to the left," Frank said as he made sure it fit nicely against the wall.

Once the buffet was in place it was now time to make sure everything was in order. Day two was fast approaching the end.


"How is the table looking?" Laurie asked as she noted Bud and Harriet had just finished.

"It looks great!" Harriet said excitedly. The table looked better than she'd hoped.

"That it does. Y'all did a great job," Laurie said proud of her team. It was now time to straighten everything out as day two was nearing the end.

"Well team I think we did a fantastic job. What do you think?" Frank asked his team.

Both Harm and Mac had to admit the room looked great. Harm couldn't believe that in just two days they had done so much.

Paige came and joined Frank to talk about what had gone on in the Robert's dinning room.

"Frank you and your team sure did a lot with such a large space to work with."

"Well that was the hardest part trying to figure out how we would fill it in and make the room seem less empty."

"You did a terrific job and you stayed under budget. You came in at $978."

"Well perfection is hard but I try," Frank said laughing.

Paige then got Harriet and Bud and lead them to their new dinning room.

"Okay you can open your eyes!" Paige said excitedly.

As soon as Harriet opened her eyes she screamed. It was gorgeous! She loved it.

"So what do you guys think?" Paige asked the couple.

"We love it," Harriet said speaking for herself and her stunned husband.

"Its amazing," Bud finally got out.

Paige then sat down with Laurie to discuss what had gone on in the Rabb living room.

"I see you put a lot of storage space into the room."

"Well they do have six kids and I thought it would work better if they had more room to put stuff. I also tried to build space that didn't seem so obvious kind of to conceal some things."

"Well you sure did a great job and you came just under budget with $998."

Next it was time to show Harm and Mac their new living room.

Mac was nervous as Paige led them into the room.

"Okay are you guys ready?"

Mac squeezed Harms hand as she opened her eyes.

Mac was shocked. Her room was completely different from when she left it. She had to admit it was definitely a good different.

"Wow, they did a fantastic job," Harm commented as he took a look at his new media center against the wall. It incased his large screen TV and all his other electronic equipment.

Mac was impressed by all the storage space she found around the room. Laurie had definitely taken into account the amount of stuff a family of eight accumulated.

Harriet and Bud soon joined Harm and Mac bringing with them four glasses of sparkling cider.

Harriet had tears in her eyes as she gave her best friend a hug.

"Did you like what we did?" Harriet asked.

"Of course you guys did a fabulous job. What about the dinning room did you like it?"

"Are you kidding me it's amazing. I can't believe all the work you guys did in only two days!" Harriet said with a smile.

"And this concludes another edition of Trading Spaces, I'm Paige Davis."
