Alison's best friend Christy and her fiance are battling over budget - she wants fancy, he wants to lower costs. They bring in Alison to mediate, and she must find a way to make both sides agree without compromising the design.
Take Two: 10 Years Later
Ten years after Alison designed their kitchen, her friends are back for a second round, but this time it's for their entire house. The project turns tense when their contractor cuts corners, delaying the project and pushing their budget to the max.
Treasures, Trinkets and Tchotchkes
Alison is granted full design freedom to expand a family's historical home, and it's a dream job until the homeowners get an eviction notice from their short-term rental. Now, Alison and her team are under pressure to finish the job in under 30 days.
An Expensive Exit
Alison is given four months to design the top floors of a city condo, but things get complicated when the city code requires a second exit. As a result, the project threatens to spiral out of control with heavy delays and a huge increase to the budget.
A Tale of Two Houses
Alison has her hands full with two 100-year-old projects – a suburban phase one overhaul and a city rental property that's barely standing. She's also faced with a tough decision when one project takes a turn that could cost her business.
Trust the Process
Alison is on board when a client decides to be the general contractor on his own project, but a subcontractor mistake costs him thousands. Now, Alison must design on an even tighter budget and convince him to trust the design process.
Building on Borrowed Time
A client's project is right up Alison's alley – a converted single-family home with history and high-end finishes. But the pressure is on when a one-year deadline is set to get the job done, and he tells Alison he's moving in whether it's ready or not.

Skyline Penthouse
Alison Victoria and Donovan Eckhardt take on a penthouse with the potential for some serious profit. However, what seems like an easy renovation quickly goes off the rails when an inexperienced superintendent tries to hide his shoddy work.
Historical Headache
A tip from a friend lands Alison Victoria and Donovan Eckhardt one of the first landmarked cottages in the Ukrainian Village neighborhood of Chicago. They hope to return the property to its former glory, but strict historical build guidelines and expensive property loss make them wonder if they bit off more than they can chew.

Roof-Raising Race for Space
Alison Victoria and Donovan Eckhardt are back in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood, where they find a Civil War-era house on a corner lot with only 1,200 square feet of living space. Their challenge is to wring enough additional space and fresh design from the small home to get their price point without destroying its original history and charm.
Through the Cracks
Donovan and Alison shift their focus to finishing a new construction project that fell through the cracks after being denied a loan for a new property. Alison discovers why the job stalled in the first place and races to finish it up.
Testing a New Area
Alison takes the opportunity to get to know a new neighborhood and build in a different area of Chicago despite Donovan's hesitation. While the project goes smoothly, cracks continue to spread in their partnership.
New in North Center
A new project in the North Center neighborhood is an opportunity for Alison to get the business under control, but after Donovan has a disagreement with Ermin over a structural issue, she considers whether they can continue working together.
