How do you mean they're living in a space designed for them by other hands?

It's a show I enjoy every Saturday morning. I used to start the weekend with
Two Fat Ladies, but after Jennifer died I had to find something else to let
my brain idle and provide low key entertainment that wouldn't wake me up
before I was ready to, and I've found Trading Spaces fits that bill. When
it's finished I get on with whatever's planned for the weekend
