| Synopsis: Pack up the pickup and
leave your cell phone behind! Genevieve Gorder, the designer best known
for bringing big changes to rooms on TLC's hit series Trading Spaces,
is embarking on a fantastic voyage through small-town America that aims
to turn the very idea of a small town upside down. And this is no simple
road trip — it's a multilayered series bursting at the seams with rich
characters, design know-how and an inspiring look at the power of neighbors
to connect and create change in their communities. Gorder serves as host
for the new series, Town Haul. In "Town Haul," Gorder tackles the biggest challenge of her career. She's not just redesigning a living room, family room or bedroom, rather she's remodeling an entire town over the course of several weeks. In an eye-popping television event, she will oversee a team of skilled designers, carpenters and craftspeople as they work alongside townspeople to reimagine, repaint, repair and restore small towns across the United States. In addition, Gorder will continue to appear as a designer on Trading Spaces. Jeffersonville, N.Y. (population 500), serves as the backdrop for Gorder's vision as her team gives new life to buildings around town and brings renewed spirit to its citizens. From the village hall to the teen center, from storefronts along Main Street to houses on side streets, nothing is off-limits as Town Haul offers a look at what happens when small towns meet with the power of big design ideas. The characters and stories in Town Haul are all revealed over the course of an entire season, along with a new place to call home. Gen says, "For me, the most interesting part of design is the people. I wanted to do a show with people that needed more than just some paint on their walls. TLC has given me the chance to actually move into towns across the country and work with them to re-create their identity. From the baseball team to the church basement to Main Street, this new series is going to demonstrate the power of what design can really do in a very big way." |
