Trading Spaces
TLC's home-decor hit ''Trading Spaces'' is venturing into the heart of darkness: fraternity row! On Aug. 31, designer Doug Wilson and the sisters of UC Berkeley's AO[pi] chapter made over the [delta]Y frat house. ''They didn't even have shades,'' marvels a sympathetic Genevieve Gorder, who worked with the boys to overhaul the sorority house. ''Mattresses were in front of the windows to block out the light.''
Wilson says he blew a third of his $1,000 budget on cleaning supplies: ''There was puke and rotten, stale beer. Everything went out the third-floor window, sofa and all.'' Host Paige Davis says TV doesn't do justice to the frat's funk. ''This is when you need Smell-O-Vision,'' she notes. ''The only thing not communicated was the stench.''
