We've got Frank versus Hildi in this episode of Trading Spaces and, as you might expect, the rooms couldn't be more different! Frank turns a family room into a Nantucket beach cottage, complete with shells and fish netting while Hildi demolishes walls and builds new ones on her way to a spicy Asian-inspired living room. Amy Wynn's got to work in both worlds — building a seaworthy coffee table for Frank and that new wall for Hildi. See which design world you prefer!
