Genevieve Gorder is comparing her new series toProject Runway, but instead of a fashionable outfit, contestants will be designing an entire room — on a budget.
The formerTrading Spacesstar, 44, furthered theProject Runwaycomparison when she announced her new series on Instagram, writing, “I’ll be your Heidi, your Tim & your Nina alongside my favoriteMichael Kors,I mean @whowhatwhit, editor in chief of our favorite @elledecor magazine.“
Much likeProject Runway, Gorder’s new show will involve an impressive lineup of rotating guest judges, including Jonathan Adler,Million Dollar Decoratorsalum Kathryn M. Ireland,Kardashian design guruMartyn Lawrence Bullard, originalQueer Eyecast memberThom Filicia, Jeff Andrews, Jamie Bush, Molly Sims, Jason Wu and India Hicks.
The competing designers will have $25,000 to transform one room — a huge sum compared toTrading Spaces’$2,000 budget.
The judges will determine how well each designer executed creating a luxury look based on three criteria: the overall appeal of the design, how well they used their budget, and the client’s happiness.
“It was not my decision at all,” Gordertold PEOPLE exclusivelyin February. “I had a previous series already scheduled for the same time that we were going to shootTrading Spaces.So the only thing that happened was just a schedule conflict.”
