Trading Spaces (2000)

Season 1: Episode 29

Trading Spaces takes its design crew to the historic Fourth and Gill district of Knoxville, Tenn., for the premiere episode, featuring designers Frank Bielec and Laurie Smith. The teams are not only neighbors, they're good friends. Let's hope the friendship can survive new upholstery as each moves in to the other's home for 48 hours to redecorate one room. The budget is $1,000 and everything in the room is fair game for change. From fabrics and furniture to flooring and fixture, our designers will join the neighbors in a race to redecorate. Frank will be transforming a den from southwest to superb and Laurie tackles a tiny kitchen that goes from functional to fabulous in just 48 hours — all with the help from carpenter, Amy Wynn Pastor.
