One of a Kind is a reality TV show that seeks to showcase some of the world's best interior designers and furniture artists. In season 1 episode 1, which is titled Love Letter Walls, the audience is introduced to the host of the show- Grace Mitchell. Grace strolls into a suburban neighborhood in her vintage truck excited to meet Ashley, her client. Ashley, who is an army veteran, shares a home with her two young children, and she is eager to have a family room makeover.

Grace goes into the family's living room and discusses the project with Ashley. As they talk, Grace learns that Ashley is fixated on the memories of her deceased father, who was her best friend. Ashley has a stack of letters her father wrote to her mom during the Vietnam War and wants Grace to incorporate them into the design. Grace is impressed by the idea and eager to execute it.

Grace meets Jeff, one of her favorite artists, at his workshop studio. Jeff is known for creating stunning and intricate wallpaper designs. Grace explains to Jeff that Ashley has some old love letters, and she wants the letters to be used as inspiration for the wallpaper. Jeff is thrilled with the idea. He takes a look at the letters and starts working on the wallpaper design immediately. The design is full of small details, from messages of love, to pictures of soldiers at war, and other details that represent Ashley's father.

With the wallpaper design underway, Grace goes back to Ashley's home to start working on the rest of the room. Grace decides that she wants the room to have a warm, welcoming feel. She brings in a cozy sectional couch, some beautiful pillows, a rug, and a coffee table that Ashley's kids can safely play around. Grace also decides to build a custom-designed bar for Ashley, who enjoys wine.

While the wallpaper gets printed, Grace, and her team continue to work on the family room. Grace incorporates some pictures of Ashley's father and other antique vintage elements that will make the room feel comfortable and homely. The room begins to take shape, but Grace has one more trick up her sleeve. She wants to get a silhouette portrait artist to paint a picture of Ashley's father.

A local artist Lisa shows up to the house to paint Ashley's father's portrait. Lisa goes through the letters for inspiration, and she creates a magnificent portrait of Ashley's father. The final touch is complete, and it is time for Ashley to see her new room. Grace, her team, and Ashley's family anxiously wait as Ashley walks into the room.

As Ashley walks in, she sees the portrait for the first time. She is overcome with emotion and tears up. Grace embraces her, and everyone shares their appreciation for Ashley's father's service. Ashley then sees the room transformation, the beautiful wallpaper, comfortable couch, and the custom bar. Ashley is speechless and hugs Grace tightly, showing her gratitude for the new family room.
