The premise is a crew of carpenters & designers do a major renovation of a house. The extensive renovation's design is theme-based with a new theme featured each week. Last night's preview of next week's show showed them doing a Hawaiian theme make-over including what briefly appeared to be a huge tiki built in the living room!

Low key fun and (finally!) food have come to Landsdowne Street in the
shape of the funky Tiki Room(1 Landsdowne Street Boston), the newest
enterprise from the Lyons Group. Beautifully adorned with Polynesian
artifacts (many of them from the old Aku-Aku in Cambridge), the new
nightspot features gorgeous carved mahogany pillars framing its
circular bar. The Tiki room is open Tuesday through Saturday from 5
p.m. to 2 a.m., with the kitchen staying open until 1:30. The menu's
"Make Your Own Pu-Pu Platter" ups the fun quotient, as does the
