The New 'Trading Spaces' Trailer Is Out, And It's Exactly What We Needed Today

By Maya |

TLC

When it was announced TLC’s beloved home renovating show Trading Spaces would be back on air, fans began reminiscing on the wild home makeovers plastered on our small screens.

The series is set to debut on April 7, with an hour-long reunion special, and will be shaking things up.

The new series has doubled the original’s $1,000 budget to $2,000 per room, in an effort to keep the home décor fresh and stylish, but without breaking the bank.

“Viewers have become so accustomed to seeing designs done for $50,000 or $100,000. I think this will be inspiring,” TLC’s executive vice president of development and production Howard Lee told TV Guide.

Fans rejoiced after they heard familiar faces like Paige Davis, Ty Pennington, and Vern Yip would be back for the revival, with Pennington adding they still all share their great chemistry.

“Nobody had changed a single bit, including myself,” Pennington told PEOPLE. “We’re like brothers and sisters.”

While we’ll have to wait until the spring to watch the rebooted show, TLC has given us a glimpse of what to expect with a new, two minute trailer.

When news broke out Trading Spaces would be back on air, nobody was more excited than Davis herself.

“I was very proactive about it," Davis previously told EW. "I knew they had a lot of decisions to make, and I just kind of offered myself up to say, ‘I’m here. Even if you just have questions, I’m here to be a part of it in any way that you see fit.’ So I was very delighted when I got the phone call to say, ‘Yes, indeed, we want you to host it.’ I screamed.”

“I think there’s a tremendous wave of nostalgia happening right now,” Davis said. “And I believe that if we deliver excellent episodes in the format that fans knew and loved, it will reach into people’s hearts and memories and tap into something that’s bigger than just design, and bigger than home improvement.”

Her words sprung true, as fans were finally able to feast their eyes on the long-awaited trailer.

11 Years Later, Where's The Cast Of "7th Heaven" Now?

By Meg
7th Heaven was one of the few shows you could sit and watch as a family growing up. It was a wholesome show that still held our attention for over a decade. We grew up with the characters as they did, and everyone can probably list off five lessons they learned while watching. But now, 11 years after the show ended, what is the cast up to now? Let's start with the women. Catherine Hicks as Annie CamdenCWHicks played one of the best TV moms of all time, showing us that stay-at-home parents do more than just stay at home.

Josh Hartnett Was A Massive Star In The Early 2000s, So Why Haven't We Seen Him Since?

By Tanya
It seemed like Josh Hartnett was in every movie in the early 2000s, but now it's hard remember the last movie you saw him in. Touchstone PicturesWhere did he go? You probably remember him from the movie Pearl Harbor, where he played Captain Danny Walker, or Black Hawk Down as the character Eversmann. He has been in a lot of very successful movies, and was one of the biggest heartthrobs of the early 2000s. BravoSeriously, his IMDB page is just a big reminder of all the great things he's done.

She's A Little Bit Country, He's A Little Bit Rock & Roll, But What Was Really Going On Behind The Scenes?

By Tanya
Donny and Marie Osmond were the siblings that we all longed to be like. Why couldn't we get along with our brothers and sisters like they did? What was it about this singing and dancing family that just seemed weirdly delightful?  The show only ran for three years, but in that time, they managed to gain an enormous audience. They had both already seen some success in the business, with Donny singing with his brothers in their band The Osmonds, and Marie breaking out on her own topping the charts with "Paper Roses."
