Making a home on the market look its best

The Home and Garden Network specializes in shows where an energetic team takes over someone's house, banishes the person and redoes the homestead. They always end with the homeowner being led, with eyes closed, back into the newly redesigned house, and going into transports of joy and incredulity. (Actually once I watched a show where the designer later admitted the man had hated the Greek island theme she'd redone his room in, and she had to repaint the bright blue walls plain beige.)
