 Home decorating and other lies - Salon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Now in its third season and continuing to build momentum, "Trading Spaces" is based on the BBC's "Changing Rooms." Its premise is this: Two sets of neighbors switch houses for two days, and, led by a designer with a $1,000 budget, redecorate a single room in their neighbor's house.
Why exactly these revelations make us feel so violated has to do both with how well the cast and crew of the show do their jobs, and how much we've grown to value and accept the false idea that what we see is what we get.

I know there are millions of Martha-philes, people who sit glued to the tv with construction paper, scissors, and glue at hand should she come up with a new way to repurpose Christmas lights for Halloween parties, but I can't stand Martha Stewart.
This is precisely the premise of Trading Spaces: two couples trade houses for a period of 48 hours, and, under the guidance of one of the show's six interior designers, do a complete overhaul of one of the rooms in the house where they are staying.
The neighbors can make general suggestions about what they want done with the room, such as the woman who requested more storage space in her bedroom, or lay down the law as to what can not be done, as one man did with regards to his free-standing fireplace, which was to remain untouched and unpainted.

 Trading Spaces, B-School Edition
At Carnegie Mellon, one of the first schools to open a trading room, the trading room was dismantled after the school decided a physical space devoted just to trading was unnecessary once the school began requiring all students to own a laptop.
One downside of the dismantling, Srivastava says, was that the trading room had also served as a focal point for students interested in trading careers.
Many schools have found that trading labs can provide a tangible focus for a capital campaign, as alumni who have gone on to make their fortunes in finance have proven willing to fund campus trading rooms, especially when naming rights come as part of the package.
