In last night’s episode of Trading Spaces, we watched as the legacy designers put the three new designers through the test. This season Trading Spaces has added three new designers to the team and we have been able to see two of them in action.
The episode started off with a look at Doug Wilson getting to know Sabrina Soto, John Gidding and Kahi Lee and their sense of style. Their first test is to take a wooden box and make it multi-functional. They have one hour to complete this task. Most of the ideas for this task are some kind of storage, but John wanted his to look different so he made the top so that it fits into slits cut into the top. You can find their finish products below!

Sabrina made a table on wheels that had storage under the top, she said it could also be used as a seat if that’s what you chose to use it for. She also mentions making it with the idea of using it in a kids room. John made an ottoman with his box and the top also opens for storage. Kahi made a little bed for a small dog and said that you can also use it as a small side table. She said that growing up she owned a dog named Mr. Wilson, but we later found out that was a lie and she was trying to get bonus points with Doug.
After a repeat episode of Trading Spaces, we got another look at what Paige has called Training Spaces where Ty Pennington and Carter Oosterhouse are putting the new carpenters to the test. Joanie Sprague and Brett Tutor have been tasked with building something out of scratch. Ty and Carter that they need a multi-functional shelving unit and to throw a wrench in, Brett needs to make his more of a mid-century, modern piece and Joanie will make a rustic, shabby chic shelf. Check out their finished products below!

Joanie built a shelf that looks like it would go into a kitchen to hold jars or bottles and used a hammer and saw to bang it up a bit and make it look rustic. Brett really wanted to build something three dimensional that showed a little bit of shadow behind it and appeared to float. What did you think of the job that the new designers and carpenters did?
