Have you all been binge watching old episodes of Trading Spaces on TLC? You know the show where 2 neighbors trade spaces for 48 hours and only have $1,000 to make over each other’s spaces? I have several racked up on my DVR and can’t wait to catch up!
So when I was invited by Barbara Viteri of Designerlebrity to a Trading Spaces event, I jumped and immediately RSVP’d YES! The event was held at Showcase Kitchens this past weekend and let me tell you, it was one of the best design related events I had ever been to. Maybe I’m just a mom who needed a night out, but between the Rum Punch and the yummy food and being able to get gussied up, I had a blast. It was great to connect with people in the industry and of course meet Doug Wilson from the show! I even got to see Steve Fanuka, The Million Dollar Contractor, who I had met a couple of years back- what a doll.
Here are some pics from the event.
Finally got to meet Barbara.
It’s Doug!

Don’t forget to check out TLC for more Trading Spaces.
Thanks Barbara for a fantastic time!

Well done, Mary. Great photos- and so nice to have met you
Thank you Suzanne!
Enjoyed our talk at the event! Let’s keep in touch. The design story about your childhood friend turned client was endearing. Great work! Donna
Thanks Donna! Yes, would love to chat again. It really is a sweet story. One of my favorites.
