This looks like a potential episode for Trading Spaces (or Changing Rooms), only they'd try to do it in a teal or tastefully color-coordinated art deco motif.... (Note to self: Must stop watching TV with the wife)

Or, even better, "While You Were Out" but doing it to a guy's basement. (Note to self #2: Must not give wife any ideas if she should ever get royally pissed at me...)
