For the semi-finals, the teams will be working on living rooms. Due to the distance between the houses, each team will have their own designer, so both Trading Spaces trailers will be used for the Carpentry Worlds.
The Yellow team, Angel & Vilma, are going to be working with designer, Edward Walker, & carpenter, Amy Wynn pastor.
The Lavender team, Glen & Justine, are going to work with designer Doug Wilson & Carter Oosterhouse as carpenter.
Key Swap
Paige tells the teams that the budget has been upped to $10,000. $5,000 of that has already been spent. She also gives both teams an envelope that has instructions in it, but they can't open it until they are with the designer & carpenter they'll be working with.
Day 0
Designer Chat
Glen & Justine didn't care for the Green team's room. "But they love Doug," according to Glen. They call the room "Sassy Caribbean"
Angel wants to put up an unusual wall unit that is modern with a touch of contemporary.
Since the homeowners don't really know eachother, both teams receive a video of the other set of homeowners.
After the load out, Paige shows up in each room to tell the homeowners about the fabric they'll be using. In her hand, she has a dartboard that is covered with about 10 different fabrics. The team must throw one dart & whichever one it lands on must be the main fabric used in the room. Some fabric is really nice & costs $80 a yard. There are also some cheaper fabrics on the board, but the total fabric cost must come out of the budget. Both designers give the teams advice on where to throw the dart.
Glen's dart lands on the red dragonfly/ butterfly fabric, while Angel's lands on one of the most expensive fabrics.
Paige tells us & the teams the contents of the secret letter. It's a $2000 shopping challenge. They can't spend the money in a store; they have to buy stuff from total strangers.
The paint color is free choice, but it is dictated by the chosen fabric.
The lavender team's plan includes a new floor, sofa, entertainment center, & a wall mirror with a mosaic border.
The yellow team opted for a new coffee table, sofa, & a shelving unit.
Both teams get off to a slow start on their shopping challenges.
The Lavender team stops at one house & asks to use the computer to look through the classifieds online.
Most of Angel & Vilma's stops are dead rings.
Glen & Justine give the entire $2000 to a woman for a $600 couch.
The Yellow team gets a leather sectional from a woman who has to make sure it's okay with her husband.
Day 1
While looking at what the Lavender team found, Doug says some of the items are "so un-Doug."
Edward is pleased with what the Yellow team found.
Both teams begin painting the rooms.
Glen & Justine supervise as Carter creates a mirror frame that the broken ceramics are going into. At the other trailer, Amy Wynn & Angel build the wavy shelves for the storage unit.
Carter likes the beefier shelves, but the Lavender team wants a leaner look.
Wynn uses long carriage bolts to hold the shelves to reduce bulkiness.
Yet again, Doug is installing another Pergo floor.
Edward found some pieces he wants to give a bronze finish.
Justine is going to glue the pieces of broken plates into the perimeter of the mirror frame, but Doug decides that they can just use Liquid Nails & grout around it.
Edward has seen a lot of fabric in his Trading Spaces career, but not $1100 worth for one room!
Homework Challenge
This is the $5000 Homework Challenge! Each team can open up to five boxes. Some of them hold prizes, some hold challenges, & one box contains the identity of the designer & carpenter who are working in their house.
Angel is either tired or upset when Paige brings in the brightly colored boxes.
The first box holds a canvas; the second contains $500 bonus money to spend any way the teams want to.
Angel & Vilma open their 3rd box & find the fabric wheel, so they have to re-throw the dart.
Justine doesn't want to open the fourth box, but they do & find a new plasma TV. They go all the way & in the fifth box get a Polaroid camera & a picture of Edward & Amy Wynn.
Angel & Vilma don't take their last box.
Before the teams re-throw the dart, Paige calls in a few people to help them out- the Green team & Purple team to help out the team that they were against in Round 1.
Jim throws the dart& lands on a different fabric, so they need to change the fabric in the room.
Omar throws the dart & lands on the fabric that is already in the room.
A benefit of this homework challenge is the Green & Purple teams can stay to help with homework.
Both teams go shopping to buy fun stuff like digital cameras with the bonus money.
Day 2
Vilma can't wait to unpack the TV & hook it up.
Glen & Justine debate over how much curtain should droop onto the floor.
Vilma thinks the artwork in the room should be "pictures of sexy models like Ty & Cater, who have six packs instead of keg," as she pats her hubby's chubby tummy.
Carter proceeds with the plans for the armoire.
Amy Wynn shows Vilma how to use a nail gun because Ty didn't the last time.
Angle & Vilma decide where to place the new leather sectional. Doug's advice on arranging the tchotchkes on the shelf: don't get too cutesy. Designer Chats/ Damages Lavender- $9,969.32 Yellow- $9,57.00 Glen says, "We just applied for the regular show & all of a sudden, we're designing $10,000 rooms." Vilma wants to go home to see Carter because Angel has had three days with Amy Wynn. Reveals The Yellow team thinks that they'll be more comfortable in their new living room. Glen & Justine give a slightly more enthusiastic reaction about their new living room.
