In his second season, designer, interior decorator, and best-selling author Nate Berkus brings his signature style back to daytime television with a show that helps viewers elevate their lives with beautiful, affordable, and easy changes that they can make right now.

"We're having a party everyday and you're invited. My party favor to you is the information you can use to make your life more stylish," Nate said. "We also have some big, emotional makeovers. My team and I have been working hard all summer to pull off some of the biggest reveals of my career and I can't wait to share the results with viewers at home."

Now it's finally time for the big reveal – watch the emotional moment when Monica Jorge sees her completed, brand-new Nate-Berkus-designed home for the very first time.

Executive Producer Corin Nelson said, "We're so excited to head into season two. We've been in full production all summer long with Nate doing what he loves best – surprising people in their homes and changing their lives! Design is still the heart of the show, but Nate will be at the center of all areas of lifestyle from fashion, cooking and entertaining to family, relationships, career and money matters. We're very conscious of the realities of daytime viewers' lives and will provide take-away tools in fun and engaging ways so that viewers get great information they can apply to their own lives."
