I've been watching this show on the Discovery channel -
Surprise by Design. The homeowner writes in to the show, asking for help to redesign a room to surprise the other person. 2 designers come in, with a $2500 budget and work their magic within a particular time frame (usually 8 hours). So far, I have liked the rooms they have redone. Check out the show, it's pretty good. It's no Trading Spaces but it's certainly enjoyable!
