- October 25, 2003
In this episode of Trading Spaces, the team heads to Lloyd Lane in Pennsylvania, where they have just two days to transform each other's homes with a budget of $1,000. The homeowners, who are all friends and neighbors, have been living in their homes for over a decade and are ready for a change.
The first team is led by designer Hildi Santo-Tomas, who is known for her bold and unconventional designs. She is paired with homeowners Darren and Rhonda. Their house is a classic American colonial style with beige walls and traditional furniture. Hildi decides to take a risk and paint their living room walls bright blue and install colorful geometric shelves on them. She also adds a bold patterned rug and colorful throw pillows to the space. The homeowners are initially skeptical of Hildi's choices, but are ultimately thrilled with their newly transformed space.
The second team is led by designer Vern Yip, who is known for his practical and stylish designs. Vern is paired with homeowners Chuck and Vicki, who have a large family and need a functional and kid-friendly space. Vern decides to focus on their family room, which is a large and open space with high ceilings. He installs a built-in bookshelf and adds colorful accents to the otherwise neutral color scheme. He also creates a reading nook and a play area for the kids. Chuck and Vicki are thrilled with Vern's design, which is both stylish and practical.
The third team is led by designer Kia Steave-Dickerson, who is known for her eclectic and colorful designs. She is paired with homeowners Greg and JP, who live in a mid-century modern home. Kia decides to focus on their dining room, which is currently unused and uninspired. She adds a bold mural to the wall and installs a colorful pendant light fixture. She also adds colorful chairs and a bold patterned table runner. Greg and JP are initially taken aback by Kia's bold design, but ultimately love the fun and vibrant space she has created.
The final team is led by designer Genevieve Gorder, who is known for her sophisticated and elegant designs. Genevieve is paired with homeowners Christine and Jeff, who have a large and empty basement that they would like to transform into a stylish and functional space. Genevieve decides to create a family room and game area in the space, complete with comfortable seating and a pool table. She adds a bold floral wallpaper to the walls and uses an elegant color scheme of blue, white, and gold. Christine and Jeff are thrilled with the elegant and stylish space Genevieve has created.
Overall, this episode of Trading Spaces is full of bold and creative designs that transform these homes into stylish and functional spaces. Each team successfully manages to stay within their budget and time constraints while delivering unique and personalized designs. The homeowners are thrilled with the results and grateful for the opportunity to trade spaces with their friends and neighbors.
