While You Were Out is a home improvement reality TV show that originally aired on TLC from 2002 to 2006. The show follows homeowners who are sent away for a weekend while a team of designers and builders work to remodel their home. The homeowners return at the end of the weekend to a completely transformed space.

Season 1 episode 1, titled "New Jersey: Woodland Court," follows the renovation of a couple's master bedroom and bathroom in their New Jersey home. The couple, Tammy and Rob, have been married for 14 years and have three children. Tammy is a stay-at-home mom, while Rob is a firefighter. They explain that their bedroom is the last room in the house to receive any attention, and it has become a dumping ground for clutter.

The design team consists of two designers, Leslie and Carter, and two builders, Andrew and Tom. The team meets with Tammy and Rob to discuss their design preferences and budget. Tammy and Rob explain that they want a more functional space with plenty of storage and a calming atmosphere. Leslie and Carter come up with a plan for a built-in entertainment center, storage benches at the foot of the bed, and a new color scheme that incorporates blues and greens.

The builders get to work while Leslie and Carter go shopping for furniture and accessories. They choose a new bedframe, bedding, curtains, and decor items to bring the design plan to life. Meanwhile, the builders run into a few obstacles, including a plumbing issue and a crooked wall, but they manage to overcome them and stay on schedule.

The homeowners are sent away for the weekend, and the team works tirelessly to complete the renovation. When Tammy and Rob return, they are overwhelmed with emotion at the transformation. The cluttered, outdated room has been replaced with a serene and functional space that meets all of their needs. They express their gratitude to the team and are thrilled with the final result.

Overall, the first episode of While You Were Out is a heartwarming and inspiring story of transformation. It showcases the talent and dedication of the design and build teams, as well as the joy and appreciation of the homeowners.
