Two musicians, a dancer and a jewelry designer lend their talents to Trading Spaces designers to create a masterpiece or two.

Trading Spaces kicks off a brand-new season in suburban Philadelphia, Pa. Preston and his wife, Rachelle, are trading with their neighbors B.J. and Sue. Preston will put in some extra-long days because he has to get up at 3 a.m. to go work on his morning radio show. And because he couldn't take time off, he's doing his show live from his neighbor's house. Speaking of 3 a.m., that's when neighbor B.J. starts work on her overnight job that her boss wouldn't let her out of, and so for part of the time, Sue has to carry the weight of redecorating without her teammate.    In spite of being shorthanded, designer Hildi Santo TomÃ¡s manages to pull off a kitchen redo that is pretty radical. Imagine that from Hildi! Next door in Laurie Smith's family room, carpenter Carter Oosterhouse is faced with a daunting list of projects.

The Trading Spaces caravan rolls into California bearing new twists and a whole new look to the show. Host Paige Davis knows that one of the rooms in each house is the ""money"" room â€” that means it has a bigger budget. But, of course, designers Edward Walker and Hildi Santo TomÃ¡s don't know which room it is. What fun would that be? So the designers and their homeowners have to pick which room to do right there on the spot. Do they pick the money room? How much will the budget be on this episode? How will the homeowners react when they don't even know which room has been chosen for redecoration in their house? And has carpenter Faber Dewar lost his Scottish mind? To tear out that whole wall? It's a wild ride in this episode from South Central L.A. And you won't want to miss these high-energy homeowners at their reveal!

Is there enough time and sand and cement for his vision to come to life? Meanwhile, Christi â€” always the optimist â€” tackles an entire kitchen redo. If she were a classical composer this room would be called the ""Unfinished Symphony."" Host Paige Davis tries her best but sometimes even she can get our designers to the finish line. Tune in to see if identical twins have identical reactions to their new rooms!

But money doesn't buy you extra time and Christi has a race to the finish even with the luxury of a larger budget. Meanwhile, Edward has mucho carpentry to keep carpenter Amy Wynn Pastor busy right down to the end.
