The concept is unique in that a couple or family is looking to makeover a room. The rooms being made over are not cheap affairs, a picture here or handsome urn over there. We're talking complete gutting and revamping here and there is generally a stipulated budget, most over $10,000.

Three designers are invited to view the room needing revamping and then head back to their offices to come up with a design plan within the budget.

Landscaper's Challenge is a knock-off of this show except the revamp involves outdoor spaces.

The designers come back with their proposals, using "picture" boards and fabric samples.

Designing for the Sexes
===============================
This show has a cute slant. A decorator is summoned to help with a room makeover. The catch is that the couple desiring such a revamp have major differences in how they would like to result. The decorator is challenged with finding the compromise that will make both the male and female happy with the result.

Grandmother doesn't particularly like this show though some of the makeovers are interesting. It's more that Grandmother has a hard time believing any normal man cares all that much about how a room is decorated. Oh sure, a normal guy will exhibit great concern for things such as favored chairs and such, but fabric and style of floor tile? Though I suppose it's possible, believe that Grandmother's husband would not have a clue.

Decorating Cents
================================
Here's a ½ hour decorating show that is right up Grandmother's alley. In that, sweet Granddaughter, the room makeovers in this show are limited to an expense of $500. Although by Grandmother I wouldn't spend even that much to makeover a room what with flea markets and such all about to find curtains and the like that would allow the room to be made over several times during the year for the same amount of money.

Design on a Dime follows the same notion except the budget is increased to $1,000, again money Grandmother wouldn't spend for a few new towels and curtains.

Divine Design
=============================
This show features a decorator, a pleasant enough lady, who does a room makeover not much different than many others except she has this thing about lighting. She even has a special electrician named Chico whose job it is to install pot lights, strip lights, spot lights, whatever is required. Again, not a show Grandmother seeks out but one that will have me pause during the channel surfing.
