This episode of Trading Spaces will feature yet another first: we will be redecorating rooms in a women's shelter outside of Little Rock, Ark. We have four very enthusiastic and deserving teammates on this one. Joyce and Vebra are staff members at CASA, Inc., a shelter serving women who are seeking to escape abusive relationships. Joyce and Vebra not only work at the shelter, but they are on call several days a week and live there part time. Vebra, a former victim of abuse, decided to make women's advocacy her life's work after she received help getting out of an abusive relationship. She now spends her time helping other women reclaim control over their lives. Together, she and Joyce will redecorate a room in the ""residents"" side of this very large house, which is in need of some TLC.

Trading Spaces invades the Pacific Northwest in this episode that finds identical twin, Norwegian-born sisters living directly across the street from each other. The husbands are along for the ride and anything goes in this episode. Designers Barry Wood and Christi Proctor team up with carpenter Carter Oosterhouse to remake a family room and a dining room. Barry should change his last name from Wood to Concrete after this episode as he tackles a highly unusual and challenging project in his dining room. Is there enough time and sand and cement for his vision to come to life? Meanwhile, Christi — always the optimist — tackles an entire kitchen redo. If she were a classical composer this room would be called the ""Unfinished Symphony."" Host Paige Davis tries her best but sometimes even she can get our designers to the finish line. Tune in to see if identical twins have identical reactions to their new rooms!

Trading Spaces kicks off a brand-new season in suburban Philadelphia, Pa. Preston and his wife, Rachelle, are trading with their neighbors B.J. and Sue. Preston will put in some extra-long days because he has to get up at 3 a.m. to go work on his morning radio show. And because he couldn't take time off, he's doing his show live from his neighbor's house. Speaking of 3 a.m., that's when neighbor B.J. starts work on her overnight job that her boss wouldn't let her out of, and so for part of the time, Sue has to carry the weight of redecorating without her teammate. In spite of being shorthanded, designer Hildi Santo Tomás manages to pull off a kitchen redo that is pretty radical. Imagine that from Hildi! Next door in Laurie Smith's family room, carpenter Carter Oosterhouse is faced with a daunting list of projects.

These homeowners are hoping for a new look to their living room and master bedroom. Up for the challenge are designers Vern Yip and Doug Wilson. But the women are the power tool experts, the men sew and iron, and one of the boys who gets choked up.

Trading Spaces redecorates two Harlem rooms in this episode. Designers Laurie Smith and Kia Steave Dickerson want to create a second renaissance of their own for these out-dated rooms. Carpenter Amy Wynn Pastor has her hands full with a Murphy bed install in Kia's house while in Laurie's house there is a hole in the ceiling that needs serious attention. Always up for the challenge, Amy Wynn tries to balance showing off fine handiwork with finishing on time. Speaking of time, it's a race to the finish in Kia's house, and Paige has brought her stopwatch with her. When she says ""times up,"" she means times up!

Trading trailers! Designers Laurie Smith and Laura Day with the help of carpenter Ty Pennington, transform the limited space in a mobile home into an open and roomy living area. It takes many a trick to make these mobiles' tight main rooms clutter-free.

Coming Soon!!!

YO! Trading Spaces has arrived in South Philly! Space is tight, and the only thing that is separating our two homes is the TS trailer. Paige will have to make sure that our homeowners don't see what's happening at their houses. But it doesn't mean they can't wonder what all the banging is about! You wanna talk tight spaces? How 'bout we have to take the front bay window out just to move the furniture out of the room to even start redecorating! Now that's tight. Time is not on designer Kia Steave Dickerson's side as she waits to the last minute to install a brand new floor. It is up to her homeowners to see if they can finish on time. Twenty-two feet away, designer Christi Proctor is having a tough time selling her homeowners on her design plan. Maybe with the help and influence of hometown carpenter Amy Wynn Pastor our homeowners and designers can get on the same page. So, as they say in Philly, ""You'z guys should watch!""

Trading Spaces has taken over the Northern Liberties section of Philadelphia, one of the new hip and trendy neighborhoods being reclaimed in the city. In this episode, we have four young urban pioneers ready to tackle two days of hard work. Designer Laurie Hickson Smith wants to create a basement lounge with the help of her homeowners. The only problem is that her homeowners are not that skilled in redecoration. In the other house Doug Wilson gives free reign to carpenter Carter Oosterhouse to build an armoire. And as unbelievable as it may seem, Doug is not happy with the result! Shocking! Paige might have to step in to mediate yet another disagreement on the set. Will Doug and Carter resolve their differences and will Laurie have to simplify her design? Tune in and find out.

Trading Spaces always looks for neighbors who live right next to each other. These homeowners do... if you don't count the very large lake that stands between them! The utility vehicle of choice in this episode is a powerboat which tries to deliver more than a boatload of Amy Wynn Pastor's carpentry projects in these two rooms. Designer Frank Bielec has a big floor and a big floor problem to solve in his family room and he comes up with a clever solution. Meanwhile Laura Day is trying to transform a drab kitchen and give it some sparkle with stainless steel... but do tools that normally love to work in wood also love stainless steel? It's a race to the finish and halfway through Paige and Wynn run out of gas and with the ladies stranded in the middle of the lake what does gentleman Frank Bielec do? Why what any good designer would do, he tries to blackmail Paige by trading a rescue rope for some slack in his room budget. If they didn't love each other so much, they'd probably kill each

Doug Wilson and Hildi Santo-Tomas... To some, their designs might be considered on the extreme end of the spectrum. But when their forces combine they are each others yin and yang... their black and their white. This episodes brings us to West Hollywood, California and our dynamic duo is determined to create rooms with very different elements but very similar energies. Let's hope carpenter Carter Oosterhouse will be able to keep balance outside and our colorful homeowners don't really have a bunch of colors in mind. And what could have happened in this episode to make Paige more therapist than host for one of our homeowner teams? This Trading Spaces story begs the question: What's black and white (not red) all over?

Trading Spaces is back in Norman, Oklahoma with two families of American Indian heritage. Host Paige Davis tries to make sure that our designers work a Native American flavor into their rooms without crossing the line over to offensive stereotype! Don't miss this dance! Designer Laura Day wants to bring a Santa Fe feel to her homeowner's dining room. She has big plans with an elaborate light fixture that incorporates the traditional Dreamcatcher. Will the homeowners eyes light up when they see it or will they be turned off? Across the street, Designer Kia Steave-Dickerson is also trying to incorporate her homeowner's family history into the room. Will the homeowners be excited to see Kia painting their family heirloom piano or will they freak? On the carpentry side, Kia wants carpenter Faber Dewar to turn into David Copperfield and make an entertainment center float. Never a dull moment in this one!

It's double trouble on the next episode of Trading Spaces as the crew invades Oklahoma City. Paige has her hands full four energetic college girls, two of whom happen to be identical twins! Designer Edward Walker must use all his wit and charm to keep up with his spunky homeowners. All work and no play makes his team stir-crazy. So, overnight the girls steal the ""Paige Cam"" and take it to their semi-formal dance! These homeowners today! Across the apartment complex, designer Christi Proctor has her own set of problems. She has big plans for carpenter Faber Dewar and they include wrap around seating and new lighting. Will he be able to finish in time for the reveals? Maybe it would help if the girls would stop flirting with him and distracting him from his work. This episode has so much energy it'll make you tired just to watch it!

Question: What happens when you take two designers and turn them loose inside a big ol' house Trading Spaces ""style?"" Answer: Anything!! This episode finds us in two huge, enormous, gigantic, massive, and colossal houses not far from Miami. And for some unexplainable reason, these extremely well-to-do folks have actually invited us into their homes! Not for dinner ... not for a soak and a sauna ... and not for a game of tennis. We're coming over to redecorate, with just $1,000 per room. Trading Spaces is Trading Mansions! Designers Edward Walker and Hildi Santo-Tomas are in for a real challenge in this episode. With the help of handy man Carter Oosterhouse, they have just two days to redecorate these larger than life spaces. Hildi is set to tackle a dining room big enough for a royal meal. And she intends to take her ideas and run ... you know ... run out of time, paint, tables, concrete ... Edward is taking on a plain old guest room in the east wing of this palatial estate, and nothin

Round and round and round we go, how these rooms look after Day 2, nobody knows. Well actually, designers Hildi Santo-Tomas and Kia Steave-Dickerson have a very good idea how they should look, they just have to convince everyone else to agree with their visions. Our designing duo has landed in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., to redecorate two very bland rooms for four very spicy homeowners. They'll have the help of our very own spicy carpenter, Carter Oosterhouse. Hildi has the great challenge of redecorating a dingy and drab refurbished garage/TV room/office/make-up room. Hopefully her homeowners like stripes, color, and more color. Across the street, Kia has the great challenge of redecorating a boring and blah master bedroom. Her homeowners are beyond passionate and Kia wants to create a very romantic and uh... ""loving"" space. Let's hope they like movement and unconventional furniture!

Four lively, attractive single young women, two designers, one carpenter, 1,000 bucks and two days... oh, and did we mention two condos right across from each other with no space, no parking and no secrecy? Oh yeah, we've got our hands full on this one. Frank Bielec is up to his impish best in this episode and with this living room/dining room combination, he's really got two rooms to do, not one. Meanwhile Laurie Smith is dealing with a similar large open living area and she's going for a Tuscan feel complete with arches everywhere and some fancy French sounding Tremeaux mirror project. Carpenter Faber Dewar is pressed into overtime trying to build everything Frank and Laurie want. Paige Davis, ""executive director in charge of making sure homeowner's don't see what's happening in their room until the reveal on Day 2"" has got her hands full on this space-challenged condo episode. Do the ""girls"" live up to their pact with each other not to cry? You'll have to watch for yourself.

Deep in the heart of Kyle, Texas, is where we find designers Christi Proctor and Frank Bielec who are saddling up with some innovative plans for our homeowners. Frank gives new meaning to the phrase everything is bigger in Texas including the bookcases. And it's Carter's job to figure out how to bring it in to the room. On the other side, Christi finds out how difficult a large kitchen can be and our homeowners find out how difficult a tile backsplash can be. Will Paige be able to round up theses designers and make sure they bring their plans in on time?

Trading Spaces brings the fine arts to Texas. Or at least that's what designer Doug Wilson is trying to convince his homeowners he's up to. Either way he wants to paint nude figures all over the walls and it requires the services of live nude models for this romantic master bedroom motif. Since the homeowners refused to model, he has to look elsewhere for help. Meanwhile native Texan Christi Proctor is radically transforming the neighbor's kitchen and no one likes her choice of color and it's possible that their neighbor's favorite rooster might not survive. No actual animals were harmed in the course of shooting this episode although it looked for a time that carpenter Carter Oosterhouse wanted to inflict a little pain on Doug. As usual, it's up to Paige Davis to bring it all in on time and under budget. Nude models and a porcelain rooster all in the same episode? That's my kind of redecoration show!

""What voodoo would you do?"" With a little help from the supernatural, our designers Barry Wood and Laura Day have descended on New Orleans to redecorate and design two new rooms. Barry Wood is challenged with the transformation of a very traditional (and very large) living room in an old Creole cottage. Down the very long and winding road, Laura Day channels in the decorating spirits in order to create a cheerful garden room in a very drab den. Outside, carpenter Amy Wynn Pastor tries to keep up with all of the crazy Cajun madness that our designers have cooked up. I hope she's better with power tools than she is with our new motorized scooters! Will our homeowners think these new rooms are ghastly or gorgeous? Tune in and find out!

The Trading Spaces team has headed down to New Orleans and our designers have invoked the Mardi Gras Spirit for a little bit of inspiration. Designer Edward Walker is devilishly decorating his master bedroom with some Bourbon Street flare, even though his homeowners said ""NO MARDI GRAS!"" Down the street designer Doug Wilson is working ""with"" his country clad kitchen and is trying to recreate a French Bistro feel. Outside, handy gal Amy Wynn Pastor is there to keep these boys designing on a dime. French Quarter... French Bistro... with all this crazy Cajun influence will our teams think their new rooms are tres jolie or just plain bad! Je ne sais pas!

Trading Spaces has hit Nashville and it's time for a home redecoration hoe down. Two steppin' their way into the neighborhood are designers Hildi Santo-Tomas and Edward Walker, with carpenter Amy Wynn Pastor in tow. Edward has big plans to turn his bland master bedroom into a fabulous partitioned space that will reflect the more colorful side of his homeowners. Across the street Hildi uses wrapping paper to gift wrap the walls of her playroom, and you wouldn't believe what she does to the ceiling with a favorite Trading Spaces item: paint cans! Six hundred and fifty of them!!! And because one of our homeowners is a session musician right here in Music City, he serenades while Paige dances. Truly something for everyone is this dandy. Be sure to tune in and watch as our designers use the ordinary to make the extraordinary.

Designer Frank Bielec channels in some calm and meditative vibes for this master bedroom that's chock full of do it yourself craft projects. Carpenter Ty Pennington is given free reign to design a masterpiece of a bed for Hildi Santo Tomas, yet finds his hands full again when he's called on to install wainscoting in Frank's room. And, as the stars seem to be lined up yet again, Hildi's imagination runs rampant as she delivers another ""first"" in wall treatments. Will the homeowners agree with her vision to think outside the box, or just feel boxed in? And let's just say that Hildi really did lose her mind and fly off the deep end . . . how could you tell? You be the judge.

This could be a Trading Spaces first. We always have two designers, one host, one carpenter and four homeowners. But in this episode we have three designers! John and Roz want their dining room updated from that ""trapped in the 70's"" look. Edward Walker was all set to do just that when he threw his back out. Kia Steave-Dickerson to the rescue as she comes in at the last second to execute Edward's design for the room. Tricky though, because Edward is flat on his back at home on the other end of the phone trying to give instructions. Meanwhile, Christi Proctor is down the street redecorating Neecy's living room but where to start? It's a large room that needs attention anywhere you look. To add to the tension Neecy has traded spaces with her brother so if she hates it John will have to hear about it for the next 20 family reunions. Can Paige Davis keep three designers under budget and on time? Talk about phoning it in! Check this one out.

Designer Laurence Llewelyn Bowen of the BBC America's Changing Rooms has arrived with a few tricks, some snappy suits, and his revered ""Book of Powers."" (In America we call them plans.) There will be no tricks when it comes to budget, however because host Paige Davis is ready with her electronic currency converter! Paige better keep a ""good old American dollars"" eye on designer Christi Proctor who is kissing the budget in this nail biter. The good news for carpenter Carter Oosterhouse is that Christi's plans call for only one carpentry project. The bad news is that it's one of the largest projects ever. Will Christi go over budget? Should our homeowners be afraid of Laurence? More importantly, is America ready for the ""The Book of Powers?""

Surf's up along the Jersey shore for this Trading Spaces episode and ""Handy"" Andy of BBC America's Changing Rooms has hopped the Big Pond to give a hand to Doug Wilson and Frank Bielec out in Carpentry World. Inside, Doug is channeling in the nautical vibes of the sun and surf and next door Frank is battling one of the ugliest kitchens in Trading Spaces history! Will Doug be able to make peace with the language differences in the wood shop and understand what the heck Handy Andy is talking about?! Will Frank be able to turn the tides (and the water pipe valves!) and get in touch with his fugly side in his very dated room? Tune in and find out!

Don't miss a minute of this episode, from the stunning open at Niagara Falls to one of the most bizarre reveals in the shows recent history.

Designer and homeowners find themselves in a sticky situation, as they battle major wallpaper complications. Edward's task is to turn a small, cluttered bedroom into a tropical sleeping paradise. Edward gives Carpenter Carter Oosterhouse free reign to design a unique headboard. Tune in to see, if the designs sink or swim!

Trading Spaces is all about doing a lot with a little and designers Frank Bielec and Christi Proctor are up to the challenge. One of our teams wants to unify their large master bedroom that starts off looking like 2 or 3 separate spaces. Frank is his crafty best and even though his budget won't allow the new floor he craves he's got to pull off a big transformation somehow. Meanwhile Christi has a kitchen that isn't so large, but still manages to have over 30 cabinets in it! Can you say ""painting for homework?"" Handywoman Amy Wynn Pastor has her work cut out for her, but luckily the next door neighbor who happens to also be a builder falls for Paige's beguiling smile and neighborly knock on the door and agrees to help out. And you can smile til your face breaks, but when stainless steel is measured wrong and doesn't fit that's a big problem! Any episode that has flirting and unrestrained smashing of breakables with a hammer can't be all bad!

""Trading Spaces got game""... a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game to be specific. Host Paige Davis opens the show by throwing out the first pitch at PNC Park but after that all the curveballs are coming from designers Edward Walker and Rick Rifle. Edward is trying to add some whimsy to a blah kitchen, but just when does whimsy cross over the line into goofy? And Rick sets out to transform a formal feeling dining room into something with an island feel, and believe it or not manages to come up with a Trading Spaces first. And you thought there wasn't anything we hadn't already tried on this show! Oh yes and carpenter Ty Pennington in keeping with our baseball theme does a little pitching of his own but in his case it's a fit! Trading Spaces and Baseball... what could be more American than that?

Trading Spaces heads south to Louisville, Ky., land of fierce college loyalties. Former University of Louisville cheerleaders switch houses with their fun-loving, active neighbors and tackle two really large rooms. Carpenter Ty Pennington at one point appears to suffer heatstroke trying to keep up with the demands of our intrepid designers. Laurie Hickson-Smith tries to bring color and a party feel to a plain family room. Frank Bielec infuses the cheerleaders' master bedroom with a tropical feel, and in the process, does something that he's never, ever done before on Trading Spaces. What would that be? Also, does Ty really have heatstroke or is he just being Ty, and how could we tell the difference? Tune in for this action-packed episode.

Trading Spaces is all about room transformation; and there's no better example of that principle than this show. Our athletic Ohio homeowners are looking for a new look and feel for their family room and master bedroom respectively. What designers Rick Rifle and Doug Wilson give them certainly qualifies for that! Carpenter Ty Pennington is in rare form for this show where he gets to show off not only his master carpentry skills but also his flair for frat house humor and he also proves that not just anyone can wear a Karate outfit! Paige spends a great deal of the show trying to reign in Doug, and calm down Rick, both to little avail. This show will forever be known among the fans as ""The Prison of Love"" episode and if you want to know why you'll just have to tune in to see. Little in life is guaranteed, but it's pretty likely you won't soon forget this one.

In this episode of Trading Spaces we discover why we should have paid attention in metal-shop class during eighth grade. Designer Kia Steave-Dickerson runs into a little snag while adding some masculine energy to a master bedroom; she's trying to use welded metal, but none of the welds hold. Oops! Next door, Hildi Santo-Tomas' homeowners are defending the only orders given to them by their neighbors: ""No pink in my living room!"" Guess what color Hildi has come up with for her design ... or did she? And carpenter Ty Pennington still looks great even though he's wearing a welder's helmet way too much for his liking. When is pink not really pink? Does anyone really look good in a welder's helmet? These important philosophical questions are answered, but you'll have to tune in to find out for yourself.

Whatever happened to well-behaved homeowners? It seems that designers Hildi Santo-Tomas and Edward Walker can't do anything to please these finicky folks. Hildi tackles a very contemporary living room and tries to make it sparkle; however, neither the silver leaf nor the homeowners will cooperate. Edward is transforming a master bedroom next door, but everyone — including Paige — gives him a hard time about his design plan, which they all think makes the room look like a coffin! Meanwhile, carpenter Ty Pennington has to figure out how to laminate aluminum for Hildi and still finish Edward's wainscoting on time. Is Edward's new room dead on arrival? Can Hildi get back on her feet after re-covering brand new sofas that were just reupholstered in expensive leather? This is one full hour of Trading Spaces.

Trading Spaces has landed us in the heart of the city and our designers are trying to help these hip Philadelphia teams turn their spaces up a notch. But they'll have to watch out for the ghosts of decorating mistakes past! Kia is sent in to try and spice up of a rather bland kitchen. Will her homeowners see coriander and chili when they open their eyes? Next door, Hildi throws in some hot, vibrant colors and does a new floor technique on their old gray floors. Will these fun, wacky homeowners love their new hip and happening spaces? Watch and see!

This episode brings us to the outskirts of the sports-crazed city of Philadelphia and designer Genevieve Gorder is redecorating the bedroom of a 9-year-old sports fanatic. Across the street Vern Yip infuses casual, hip elegance into a very classic and formal living room. Out in Carpentry World, Amy Wynn Pastor helps keep our designers in check by sawing her heart out. Will Gen score big in her sport-crazed bedroom? Will Vern's casual new living room seem more comfy or more frumpy?

South Carolina rolls out the welcome mat for the Trading Spaces crew in the episode! Our designers welcome new carpenter Carter Oosterhouse as they dare to redecorate. Frank tries to make a very kid infused family room a little more adult. Laurie adds a dash of southern comfort into her outdated living room. Let's hope that her homeowner's reaction to their new space doesn't make them turn ""green.""

Things start out very artistic on this episode of Trading Spaces. Hildi Santo Tomas creates art gallery space in the formerly-cluttered living room of two avid art collectors. While Edward Walker uses Buddha as a Muse to create a master bedroom full of serenity. But, as always on Trading Spaces, serenity doesn't last long. Amy Wynn's the first to stress out, trying to build a new bed for Edward and a whole new wall for Hildi. Then Hildi and her team strike a sour note while moving a family's heirloom piano back into place. See how art turns to tension in this episode!

The tears flow freely during these reveals, but are they tears of joy or sorrow? You'll have to tune in and find out. What I CAN tell you is that our design team will need good animal instincts to survive this episode. We've got Vern Yip staying up all night with his team to lay down wood floor in the new kitchen. Across the way, Laurie Hickson-Smith is staying up all night trying to figure out how to paint the ceiling AND still stay under budget. Amy Wynn Pastor's sleeping good at night because she's working all day, building a kitchen island for Vern, and a fireplace facade for Laurie. Bring your tissues to the last five minutes of this show!

We've got hot and heavy debates on this episode of Trading Spaces. Laurie Smith's team thinks they hear cattle calls when they see her new artwork for the living room walls. But she tends to disagree. Upstairs in this condominium building by the sea, Vern Yip is bringing the outside IN to a bachelor's master bedroom. But HIS team is having a little problem with the baby-blue colors. Ty Pennington seems to be the only one who's NOT debating — he has too much work and he knows it!

Over at Andy's house, Vern Yip was having no such problem as he, Sara and her husband laid down tile floor in Andy's kitchen. Carpenter Ty Pennington built a sofa/bench for Gen, finished countertops for Vern, and kept Andy Dick on his comedian's toes. Join us for the laughs.

There's nothing soothing about Ty Pennington's schedule — he's making a shell bed for Kia and laying tile floor for Hildi. Join us for this fun in the sun!

It's an explosive episode of Trading Spaces when one homeowner walks out of her reveal. Jesse told her neighbor she didn't like the color brown, but designer Laurie Smith had other ideas for this living room. See what happens when Jesse returns to her least favorite color!

Looks like we'll leave one set of homeowners with more work to do!

Our usually-entertaining Ty Pennington isn't laughing now as he builds not one, but TWO, new fireplace surrounds. Tune in and let us entertain you.

Considering Doug and Hildi are the designers, tears could be involved -- especially if Hildi insists on spray painting something.
