to you? >> says $1 tables. >> reporter: how about this for the window nook? this is a great size. a $75 industrial table. >> want to do a pattern on it? >> reporter: oh. she would love that. >> yeah. >> reporter: gray and white chevrons. i stumble upon this little love seat. the fabric is terrifying, it has a broken leg. it could be nice. it needs a little magical overhaul. make this, you see a little bit of the texture on the carving. and this is the fabric. so fun. and in a classic example of my rescue-recycle-reinvent mantra -- never throw away the old bobbins. recycled. and this piece of wood, and then this is the kocoat hook. i hope she loves it. the moment has arrived. i hope you achieved what you requested.

>> that's so great. i love how you painted it. >> reporter: and then look at your little love seat area. >> i love that. i love that. that's so cute! come in, you don't have to sit on the floor anymore. >> so exciting. oh, and i could nap here too. >> thank you so much. i love this. >> nice job, lara. >> thank you on that. jane fonda, reese witherspoon, coming up. >> right over to the traffic

traffic once again. how about a better forecast? >> a little on the cool side this morning but a comfortable afternoon. 61 in d.c. with 55 and dulles. partly sunny skies this afternoon and a nice start to the weekend, the weather warm with 80 degrees on saturday and afternoon showers and's thunderstorms on sunday. back at a the 70's next week but a dry looking forecast. the police are once again asking for your help in finding a missing man. first told you about him on monday who still hasn't been found. the 77-year-old suffers from dementia and alzheimer's. he was last seen on maxwell driving cap springs. thank you for joining us, one more news update at : 56.
