Trading space

According to the bulletin board at work, the show Trading Spaces is looking for Boston-ites for their show in November. The rules include that the neighbors must be within a 15 minute drive of one another (would that be during rush hour, or not?), and that the rooms be a minimum of 12 feet by 12 feet. Which got me thinking, because I'm not sure I have a room that size. Larger in square footage, sure, but with the minimum dimensions? I'd have to measure. Not that I'm about to apply, anyway; though I like the idea of someone helping me change my space, I couldn't bring myself to give up control completely.

The actual paint though was much darker with no red hints and it just looked drab and, IMO, ugly.

(Hay? Feathers? Isn't it the person doing the redesign, with the designer's help in implementation?)
