You could do the wood paneling in a condo if you owned it but it would likely be quite expensive. You'd probably do better to go for a dark paint or wallpaper and then add darker furniture. Although this look seems really expensive it doesn't always have to be if you have access to good antique shops in your area. Antiques are often much less expensive than new furniture, especially the type of new furniture you would need to get this look.
With that said, I'll eyeball the furniture and art in this room to give you a rough estimate of what you'd be looking at if you bought antiques:
Couch (new) - 2k (each)
Carpeting and rugs - 3k-5k
Mahogany dresser - 2K-3K
Desk - 1k - 1.5k
Large equestrian painting - 1k-1.5k
Smaller painting - 500-800
Gilded mirror - 750 - 1k
End table - 750 - 1k
Coffee table - 1k
Lamps - 500 (each)
So you'd be looking at somewhere in the ballpark of 12-15k minimum to furnish a room that looked like that unless you have a really, really strong relationship with an antique dealer or access to an antique dealer going out of business and wanting to get rid of stuff.
And that actually isn't that bad!

Hmm, that's more than I'd want to spend on one room, haha. I was thinking for overall look/feel of the room, not specifically any of the furniture.
