Did you ever sit in someone's home, look at their design choices, and wonder, "What on earth were they thinking?" TLC's tremendous hit show Trading Spaces allows neighbors to make this thought a reality by trading keys and then stripping, ripping, and remaking one room in their neighbor's home with the help of a Trading Spaces professional designer and handyman. They have two days and a $1,000. budget, and they're not allowed back into their own homes until the moment of truth. Trading Spaces is one of the most popular and talked-about shows on TV. As many as 15 million rabid viewers watch Trading Spaces weekly. The show received two Emmy nominations and set a record-breaking prime-time audience level of 16.5 million viewers during its Memorial Day marathon. Each month of the calendar features the before and after picture of a renovated room, a description of the room's transformation, and a designer spotlight. Readers will be delighted to see what happens when neighbors swap spaces and create new places.
