A Woman With Quirky Tastes Searches for Starter Home in Seattle (50x6)

: 11, 2011

Valerie is looking for her first home in Seattle, but she won't settle for the average starter house. With her fascination with odd collectibles, including a whale skull coffee table and a stuffed squirrel, she admits she has quirky tastes, and wants her new house to reflect that quality. She's willing to spend close to $400,000 to find a place that's as unique as she is, and she's not afraid of a fixer. Can her friend Mary Jo help her locate the home of her dreams, and keep Valerie from taking on a project that's more than she can handle?
