room to grow...

Ah, the kitchen. I want ceramic tile to replace the ORIGNIAL sheet vinyl (yep, I just admitted it). I want California closets to come on over and build a floor to ceiling pantry. I want to remove the GLUED on ceiling tile (what were they thinking?), and add a breakfast bar to a wall. Oh, a dishwasher, too.


But, Richard, forgive me for adding a second room to the list. I live in a cape cod styled shoebox. The upstairs is not finished. I have these lovely wood steps leading up to the attic, and plywood flooring...and would love to make a master suite, complet with bathroom...I would be willing to settle for minimum...though I dispise carpet.

Oh, and while I am on it..the backyard. I want a six foot privacy fence, a border planter installed around my patio, a garden setting..with some gravel walkways, a fountain, some benches, etc.

hey....
i'm on no position to disuade you from adding a room.
i just start the threads, you guys make them go!

hardwood floors and clean white socks!!!!

california closets, so far away from here??????
are you pulling my leg?
;)

So Richard are you telling us that you are like poles?? hehe

And on that note, I think I'll leave well enough alone. :)

Gee Jo, it sounds like you want to do about as much as Mike and I do, but, we'll probably be gone from that stupid house before it all gets done....are you getting that I REALLY don't like the house where I live? :D

bipolar....lol!

That explains a lot! hehehe j/k

I haven't posted on this thread yet, cause I don't know where to start! So far, we have replaced the carpet (yes, carpet :() in the kitchen with laminate flooring and repainted the bathroom from pink (ceiling included) to cream. We also had the basement waterproofed so we could finish it. Next I would like to get rid of the red, orange, and blue carpet. Course I'd like to finish teh basement and the upstairs (untouched dormer)...it could take the rest of my life I think :) I'm with you Molly....easier to move :)

Well, since we live in Military housing, we don't own the home the home so we can't do anything major. Personally, I'd just like to own our own home! It is nice not having to pay for it though!

[QUOTE=joycenalex....and what i would do is refinish the basement and install a small bathroom for when company visits. the second day i was here, i ripped off the burnt-orange wallpaper from the 1960s style rumpus room. i'd like to update that area. oh yeah, i'd like ceiling fans in the bedrooms and builtin bookshelves for all my books and books to be bought.....[/QUOTE]
no built in bookshelves, yet, the carpenter will be coming in early october for that, and the half bath will be done in spring after the tax refund, so i still want to refinish the basement. the one estimate i got to do a corning compay designed basement room, just one room was over 65 K. way way out of my price range, not to mention, way way out of my neighborhood range. and i got the ceiling fans in 2005
so what would you all do now? :)
