All of these things have happened on the show except dropping a homeowner's collection of bottles. Gen used these blue bottles as the inspiration for a homeowner's kitchen.

Answer: True

There are actually two. One spin-off of 'Trading Spaces' is called 'While You Were Out'. 'While You Were Out' takes most of what 'Trading Spaces' is with one major catch-- there are no roommates or spouses trading spaces with their neighbors. All the work is done with one spouse or roommate.

The idea is to surprise the roommate or spouse, all 'While You Were Out'. The other spin-off is called 'Trading Spaces: Family'. Instead of just two friends or spouses designing each room, the whole family gets involved with one designer.
