Changing Rooms
Storyline
With 2 days, 500 pounds, a professional designer, and a handyman, two couples are given the opportunity to redo a room in each other's home's. Neighbors, relatives, or friends are chosen, then not allowed back into their own home during the two-day makeover period during which anything goes, from knocking out fireplaces, building wall units, or painting walls with unbelievably bright colors to fit in with a decorating scheme that--hopefully--will appeal to the room's occupants.
