Trading Spaces: Philadelphia: Bugle Lane

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.
