- September 13, 2003
In Trading Spaces season 4 episode 4, titled "Louisville: Fallen Timber Drive," viewers get to see how two neighboring couples from Louisville, Kentucky trade homes for a couple of days to try and transform two of their rooms with the help of the show's designers and carpenters. The couples are Andy and Kim, who are exchanging homes with Josh and Paul, but they have contrasting tastes and styles in their homes.
The show starts with each couple meeting up with their designer, who then give a brief tour of the house before taking them on a shopping trip to choose some decorations and furniture for their neighbor's home. Paul and Josh have opted for designer Genevieve Gorder to work on their living room, while Andy and Kim chose designer Frank Bielec for their master bedroom.
Genevieve decides to go with a neutral, rustic theme for Josh and Paul's living room, using earthy tones and natural wood accents. Frank, meanwhile, opts for a more modern look with clean lines for Andy and Kim's master bedroom.
After the shopping trip, the couples get to work on transforming each other's homes. Paul and Josh envision a living room with a focus on their large fireplace, so Genevieve decides to incorporate that element into her design. She creates a giant geometric wooden frame around the fireplace, which becomes a central feature in the living room.
Frank, on the other hand, goes for a full bedroom makeover in Andy and Kim's room. He creates a sleek platform bed and uses a geometric design on the walls to create depth and add interest to the space. The room also features a sleek, masculine dresser and lots of modern lighting fixtures.
As the design process goes on, tensions start to arise between the couples. Andy and Kim are skeptical of the changes happening in their bedroom and worry that Frank's modern style will clash with the rest of their home. Meanwhile, Josh and Paul are struggling to keep up with Genevieve's ambitious plans for their living room.
Despite the challenges, each couple manages to pull off impressive room makeovers within the tight timeline of the show. Genevieve manages to blend rustic and modern elements beautifully in Paul and Josh's living room, with lots of natural light and warmth emanating from the space. Frank, too, creates a stunning, modern retreat in Andy and Kim's bedroom, with a luxurious and spacious feel.
At the big reveal, each couple is wowed by their neighbor's transformation of their space. Andy and Kim are amazed at the sleek, modern feel of their bedroom and admit they never would have thought to go outside of their comfort zone like Frank had. Meanwhile, Josh and Paul are impressed with the way Genevieve managed to incorporate their love for rustic elements into a contemporary space.
Overall, Trading Spaces season 4 episode 4 is a fun and exciting look at how two different families can come together to transform their homes with the help of the show's talented designers and carpenters. The tension between the couples makes for interesting viewing, but in the end, the final result is always worth the frenzy.
