"Trading Spaces" Is Getting The Reboot We Have All Been Anticipating

By Sandra |

If you remember sitting down to watch Trading Spaces in the early 2000's, you're not alone.

As what some dub to be the best home renovation show of all time, Trading Spaces has two sets of neighbors swap houses and redesign each others's home, with the owners having no say in the changes. Sounds like fun, right? And it was fun to watch, too.

We saw some pretty creative designs come out of the show, like:

The Upside Down Room

The Bloody Kitchen

And who could forget this?

Yup! This show was an amazing testament to the early 2000's.

As a fan of the show, you probably already know that TLC is launching a reboot of the series next year. I know! I can't wait either. As we get closer to the air date, we are finding out details about the reboot that have us getting excited!

The 2018 version of Trading Spaces will stick with the original format and have a budget of $1,000 per room.

Paige Davis will be back to host

This past summer, TLC announced what everyone had been waiting to hear, Paige Davis will be back to host.

"I'm back at TLC, back home, back where I belong, and I am so thrilled," Paige said in a video for TLC.

Yessss....!

Other favorites are also returning!

Designers Doug Wilson, Genevieve Gorder, Hildi Santo-Tomas, Vern Yip, Frank Bielic and Laurie Smith will all be making an appearance on the reboot. If you're not girly screaming yet, here's the reason, Carpenters Ty Pennington and Carter Oosterhouse have signed on too!

There will be new cast members to get excited about too!

In addition to our much-loved cast members from the original, the network has brought on new designers Sabrina Soto, John Gidding and Kahi Lee. Brett Tutor and Joanie Sprague have also signed on as carpenters for the show.

You can be on the show!

Crazy room designs aside, imagine the Trading Spaces van showing up in your driveway and your favorite host pops out- amazing!

If you live in Atlanta, Baltimore or Los Angeles, you're in luck because TLC is casting for the show.

Trading Spaces is coming back 10 years after it went off the air.

Has it really been 10 years? Where has the time gone? Back in its day it was the most successful show ever on TLC and was the first show to start the home renovation phenomenon that we all love.

Who else remembers planning their entire week based on when Beverly Hills: 90210 was going to be on TV? It wasn't like we could record it easily, blank VHS tapes were pricey, so we had to watch it when it was on or miss out. Watching Brenda, Kelly, Dylan, Brandon, Donna, and everyone else hand out and get into all kinds of mayhem was the highlight of our weeks. When it ended, we were all a bit sad, but then they brought it back with a new spin-off.  The new show tried to catch that same teen spirit, but

By Tanya
Watching Die Hard is like watching a little piece of history. It truly has remained one of the greatest movies of all time no matter how much time passes. Maybe we didn't know how special it was when we first saw it, but as the decades go on, it has become clear that it's a true classic that is basically required viewing for every single person. Everyone obviously thinks of Bruce Willis when they think about Die Hard, which makes sense because he embodies John McClane in a way that makes him feel real, but he's not the only iconic

Trailer For New Nickelodeon Documentary Has Your 90s Favorites Spilling All The Secrets

Nickelodeon wasn't just a television network, it was basically a generation. Kids all over the country were bonded in this weird little family, obsessing over shows that our parents just couldn't possibly understand. They were for us. They weren't made to appeal to our parents, they were made for our enjoyment and so we felt a special connection to them unlike any other shows. Nickelodeon is still going strong today, but it's hard to remember that there was a time before the iconic kids network came around. The company may be a juggernaut now, but how did it get started?

"Sunny day! Sweepin' the clouds away! On my way to where the air is sweet! Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?" It's a song we all know off by heart no matter how old we are now because it was literally one of the most important parts of our days. Sesame Street was a staple in almost every household. Those Muppets were our teachers and our friends before we made our way into elementary school or daycare, and they gave us a lot of life lessons that taught us how to be a
