I bet my family room was worse than yours!
In 1995 my DH was transferred back to Iowa from Ohio and we bought a house with a nightmare basement family room! 
Orange/white/yellow/brown/black thick SHAG carpet and dark "sorta" wood panels. 
The laundry room was leftover carpets glued down and pieced together like a puzzle. 
We got the upstairs all redone but didn't want to put any money in the downstairs for awhile so just left it and stayed out of the area except to do laundry and run back upstairs!
DH got the word to transfer again and an older couple came to look at the house.
They fell in love with the basement and bought the house at asking price!
Keep us posted on your renovations; I know it can be a pain and a real stresser to a relationship.
Since then we have done several and survived!
DH finally learned to say the magic words.. "yes dear; you're right".
