The BEST episodes of Trading Spaces

#1 - Ohio: Shelby Avenue

Season 4 - Episode 6 - Aired 9/20/2003

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.
