Building a Dream House

By Nate Berkus

Ty's bedroom, after

Ty got a big-boy bed...and a whole lot more!

Nate decorated one side of the room with a wooden shelving unit, which holds wicker baskets filled with Ty's favorite books, toys and stuffed animals. A green and blue Tyrannosaurus rex toy completes the look.

Dave admits that the before shots of their house didn't make it look so great. "We didn't think of it that way. We just thought it was our place, and it was a place of refuge for us," he says. "The way [the house] looks now, it looks like the place of refuge that we thought it was before."
