After traveling to more than 40 cities nationwide to tape over 200 episodes, you would think that producing an episode of Trading Spaces is a well-oiled machine. But what happens when that machine springs a leak? Between flubbed lines, foiled designs and some homeowners that just left us wondering "Why?", it's no wonder that host Paige Davis and the cast of designers and carpenters get tongue-tied and lose their cool. On Saturday, June 12, at 10 p.m. ET/PT, TLC presents Trading Spaces: Unglued, a one-hour special that unearths bloopers, outtakes, and never-before-seen moments from America's favorite home makeover series. Featuring previously edited comments, calamities and crazy situations culled from hundreds of hours of footage, Trading Spaces: Unglued opens the lid on the hidden world often left on the cutting room floor. See host Paige Davis trying to hold it together when everything falls apart, how designers like Doug Wilson and Laurie Smith react when plans go awry, and the unbelievable moments with homeowners and fans that left our stars speechless. Anyone remember the naked carpenter? Fans of the series will finally get to see their favorite carpenters, designers and hosts stutter, stammer and trip like you've never seen before!
Trading Spaces goes Scottish! In this episode the crew takes over the Kilhenzie Castle and Law Castle in Ayr, Scotland. Adding another Trading Spaces twist, our castle-owners are meeting for the first time before they trade castles! Designer Frank Bielec pulls the centuries together in the drawing room of the Kilhenzie Castle owned by Allison and John. Over in the Law Castle, Davy and Kate need the help of designer Hildi Santo Tomas to transport their drab master bedroom into a royal suite. Carpenters Amy Wynn Pastor and Faber Dewar join these teams in their challenge to create two fresh Scotland-inspired rooms in only two days. The stakes have been raised and the budget has too, to 3,000 pounds (that's approximately $5,000!). Host Paige Davis must stay on top of these design trios now that the terms of the deal are more "foreign" than usual! Will Englishman John be able to save his new-found Scottish friend's vision for their room secure with Hildi on the loose? Will Frank be able to resist the temptation to go completely Scottish, kilt and all? Make sure to tune in to see the Lords and Ladies of Trading Spaces as they trade castles in a grand way!
This special two-hour episode will have you at the edge of your seats from beginning to end. This is a Trading Spaces first; all ten designers and all three carpenters come together on one episode to completely re-decorate two homes ... and our homeowners have no idea what they are about to embark on! You will see controversy, drama, collaboration and a lot of fun and laughs right from the start. Our homeowners have to pick their own fate by putting together the two design teams — and they don't know if they are picking their teammates or the team that will transform their home. Our designers and carpenters don't know if they will be the chosen ones or the fearless assistants for the design teams. Thankfully, host Paige Davis has pulled out all the stops on this episode and enlists the help of Trading Spaces: Family host Joe Farrell to take on managing this chaotic design frenzy.
In this special, we'll answer the age-old question: "I wonder how the other half lives." We'll take classic city dwellers — a white-collar, professional couple from the Lower East Side of Manhattan — and have them trade spaces with a couple who work on their own family-owned farm in Oklahoma. Our New York couple have never lived anywhere but the city, and as Jim the husband says, "I’ve never even mowed the grass. What am I gonna do on a farm?" Likewise, our Oklahoma couple went to school together and graduated in a class of 11! They've spent their entire life on the farm, which is 40 miles from the nearest store, and can't imagine what anyone would find appealing about living in New York City. Each of our teams has to spend some time "living the life" of the other. Our farmers must find their way around the city and do select errands set up by the New Yorkers. Meanwhile, the city folks have been given a list of farm chores to do. Imagine a man who's never even run a push mower trying to drive a John Deere tractor with tires bigger than he is! Oh, and then there's that little challenge of trying to completely redecorate a room with only two days and a limited budget. But designers Frank Bielec and carpenter Faber Dewar tackle the farm challenge and whip those city slickers into shape. It's a show filled with contrasts. Just look at Carpentry World. In Oklahoma, we're set up outside in a rolling field with cows and crops. In Manhattan, we're in an abandoned lot strewn with broken glass right next to the entrance to the Holland Tunnel! Will it be a warm reception when Frank and Faber attempt to bring some of the junk and abandoned farm buildings into the country folks' living room and call it "style"? Some 1,500 miles away, New York-based designer Laura Day and carpenter Carter Oosterhouse attempt to remake the Tribeca loft of our urban homeowners. But Brad, the farm husband, seems intent on bringing a deer theme into the master bedroom. It also happens to be the
Special episode starring Gina Destra where actors were hired to prank Hildi Santo-Thomas, Doug Wilson, Carter Oosterhouse and Faber Dewar. From a stuffed dog to a cut up wedding dress this episode was full hilarious pranks.
