The Lightburn family is a loving family of four, but their cluttered and disorganized home has caused them a lot of stress. The family patriarch, Brent, is a collector of vintage items and has accumulated a large amount of belongings over the years. His wife, Alicia, is a busy working mom who struggles to keep up with the clutter and clean up after their two young boys, Ethan and Owen.

Next, the team helps the family create a system for keeping their home organized. They set up storage solutions for each family member's belongings and teach the family how to maintain their tidy spaces.

By the end of the episode, the Lightburn family's home is completely transformed. The clutter is gone, and each family member has a designated space for their belongings. Brent feels more at peace and less overwhelmed in his newly organized home. Alicia is grateful for the help, and the boys are thrilled to have a clean and organized play space.
