Alexandra van Praag is a "hot" single woman - literally. She moved into her home in the San Fernando Valley because she fell in love with the cabin-like feel of it.

Carter and his team turn the heat down by adding cool features, bright paint, a new fireplace mantle, custom built shelves and a matching window seat bench with bottom storage.
