Trading Spaces is getting ready for its return in early 2018, and several cast members from the original series are returning for the revival. These returns include members of the design team. It was previously revealed that Paige Davis was also returning for the revival. She was one of the hosts of the series when it originally aired.
TLC revealed more about the return of this series in a press release and new video. Check both out below.
“TLC is tapping into the nostalgia of the much-anticipated return of TRADING SPACES by bringing back several of the original cast members. Included in the roster of designers are Doug Wilson, Carter Oosterhouse, Frank Bielec, Genevieve Gorder, Hildi Santo-Tomas, Laurie Smith, Ty Pennington and Vern Yip. Joining these familiar faces are new design experts and carpenters Brett Tutor, Joanie Sprague, John Gidding, Kahi Lee and Sabrina Soto. With a combined over 30 years of experience between them, this lineup is well-equipped to help homeowners tackle their ambitious redesign projects.
The design team’s creativity and skill will be put to the test to help neighbors redecorate a room in each other’s home. While utilizing a small renovation budget and a large amount of imagination, the designers and homeowners work together to complete the makeover for each of the rooms. Transforming a room with a limited budget can be a tricky task, but these designers are excited to dive right in and exercise their creative muscles. They can barely wait to see the spaces and come up with new, fresh ideas.
For the alumni cast members, returning to TRADING SPACES is like returning home and, after a 10-year hiatus, they are especially excited to jump right back in with familiar friends and some fresh faces.

TRADING SPACES is produced by Endemol Shine North America subsidiary Authentic Entertainment and is based on Endemol Shine UK format ‘Changing Rooms’, which was a top rated hit for the BBC for almost a decade achieving up to 12 million viewers and sold to 12 territories internationally.”

When Doug could not lay his hands off the woman’s fireplace, her one and only request and Hildy made a her face in dots on a whole wall of a house I was done with the program.
I just love Trading Spaces I’m so glad they are bringing it back, I;m watching it as I type this comment
Too bad you are not taking any criticism. Do not like the out come. of any of the rooms.
Can’t wait to see their smiling faces
Yes! Can’t wait for the show to air.
I used to watch this show until one of the designers painted a picture of a GIANT foot and put it over someone’s couch in their living room. I’m excited to watch the new show to see what exciting things will happen!
Can’t wait!!
HECK YEAH!!! I loved Trading Spaces, its the first home show I started watching. I have one questioned… Did you guys help the couple with the ALL WHITE ROOM change it? I felt sorry for the. It really wasn’t fair. {a little funny, but unfair.
i am so happy this show is coming back …it shows people you can do things that are cheaper than the other shows which are very expensive ……loved this show for yrs
Definitely will be watching. And i’m So glad it’s the original cast
You have no idea how excited I am that Trading Spaces is returning WITH original cast! All are my favorites; love every one of them. Only thing better would to actually participate in a “trading spaces” event so, will do so vicariously through the show. Thank you so much.
It think it’s great. I cannot wait to watch.
It would be more interesting to me if all the designers actually did nice rooms within the budget instead of going for the shock value of awful rooms nobody could live in, seriously prison room, straw on wall, flowers pasted, covering up a fire place they were told not to do etc etc.
Can’t wait watching some of the reruns that are on lately, just wished there were more on before its return!!
ABSOLUTELY! SO GLAD PAIGE IS RETURNING TOO!
