you may be disqualified from this thread for asking for so
little...

If money is no object, I think the whole house could use a face lift. New carpet or hardwood flooring, new counter in kitchen, main bath finished, 2nd bath redone, a few walls down, new driveway, new steps, new patio, build in gas grill, new path to street from house, new shed or shelter outside for dogs in rain, screen porch off back......

I could go on and on, am I disqualified ?

Gee Scott, I think if he disqualifies you now, I'm going to protest. lol

I actually know Frank and he's exactly as you see him. A NUT!

I love the rooms that Laurie does.

I would install a tandoor oven and a wood fire oven in my enormous, state-of-the-art kitchen. That way I could have tandoori chicken/lamb/shrimp and wood fired pizza all the time!!

HEY!! I looovvveee to watch Ty errr...uhh... trading spaces!

The kitchen. Much bigger, so that you can live in. A tandoor would be fine. And an open fireplace.
Can I have more space in the bathroom too?
With a whirlpool and one of these all-over massage showers. Maybe a sauna too. And a massage room (I'd copy some Balinese 5 star hotels- would need the employees too....).

Oh! Great idea Richard - wishful thinking!!

I'd love a full loft conversion - make a huge light room up there, then all my art and craft stuff would have somewhere to go - I've already taken over Elizabeth's bedroom - AND IT'S NOT BIG ENOUGH! Plus...............she'll perhaps want it back when she comes home from her travelling.
So if you'd like to arrange an architect and decorator - I'm more than ready! WooHoo - can't wait!

Well since I already have my country kitchen I would have to say the bedroom. We haven't done anything to it since we moved in 3 years ago!! It's got white walls, curtain, and this horrible orange shag carpet! We just don't have the money to redo it yet.

**tatsxxx11** · 03-04-2003, 05:38 AM

Definitely the kitchen...make it HUGE, bright, welcoming with skylights, a big hearth, a Viking stove, a subzero frig and definitely a tandoor oven!! I make Tandoori often but it's just not the same,cooked in a conventional oven!!

(Soldedad, help me here!!) Oh, and a wine cellar down below...and an attached greenhouse for growing fresh herbs and orchids! And of course Ty from Trading Spaces would be there to supervise the construction!

I think I just blew my "wad!"

I love to "hate" Doug!! Soooooooo testy!!

On a show I watched recently, he got so ticked off when his "team" kept questioning his "taste," that he handed them the plans, told them to do it themselves and walked off!

I love Laurie but Gen's a little too "industrial chic" for me. Would love her services if I had a loft in SoHo, but not a ranch house in a suburban development.

**Christiansmommy** · 03-04-2003, 06:27 AM

Just one???? Alright I'll try to make it just be ***ONE*** room

I would really want an addition put on...we live in a 3 bedroom rancher with only a living room...no family room. He are hopiing to actually put a family room on this summer...and we definatly need the space. If i had mucho money to spend on it, it would have hard wood floors, and a big, cozy fire place...and a sky light on the ceiling. Less is more in my opinion...so nice furniture and decor...but not overly cluttered. I would then have to get hard wood floors in the rest of my house to match the family room

Which we actully might get in the living room...i am so looking forward to that...it'll be much easier to clean up messes from a toddler and hopefully a dog in our future...that is one reason why i want the hard wood floors.

Okay, well since the rest of the house looks so nice, i think i'd have to redo the kitchen. I kinda want a Mexican flare to it. Not bright colors, but natural, rich colors. Nice chuncky slabs of floor tile...Rich colors all around...Some sort of marble counter top and really rustic looking dishes, but not something so off the wall, that I won't like it in a few years...

Slap, Slap...wake up Robyn, you are dreamin!! It was fun while it lasted

Someday...for sure

I love Trading Spaces and While you were out...they really help to widen your ideas...somethings are extreme on some shows, but over all, i always get neat ideas from the shows...and off course, Ty from trading Sapces and Andrew from While you were out make it a little nicer to watch, heheheh

**tatsxxx11** · 03-04-2003, 06:36 AM

HOW could I forget Andrew??! That is one gorgeous AND sweet guy!!

But let's not forget carpenter Amy Wendt! She's not my "type," but she's one talented young woman!!

Be careful what you ask for...you might get it! I have been through remodeling both the main bathroom and the kitchen! What a mess!

So if I had real money...it would be the bathroom --- huge. With a chandelier, a chaise lounge, bookshelves, a soaking/whirlpool tub, huge shower, maybe a fireplace too. Big high sinks and a window that looks out into the high branches of trees.....

what's a tandoor???

**tatsxxx11** · 03-04-2003, 10:41 AM

tan·door n. pl., tan·doors or tan·door·i. A cylindrical oven made of clay, heated to a high heat over charcoal or wood, and used in India for baking bread and roasting meat.
