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