Homeowner Nyeland Newel recently posted these photos of his bedroom renovation on Reddit.

Three years ago, Nyeland Newel pulled up the carpet in his 1930s home in Fresno, Calif., to find this giant Monopoly board painted on the hardwood floors below. What's more, the giant monopoly board features silhouettes of naked women instead of the community chest.

"It was some sort of risqué party game," Newel told The New York Daily News. "Like strip Monopoly."

Newel's then-wife made him paint over the board, but she was willing to spare the wedding ring and the "naked lady squares," Newel told The News.

Newel now lives in Palm Desert, Calif., where he says he wants to paint a game board on the floor, "to restore balance to the universe."

"But I think I'm going with Scrabble this time," Newel told The News.
