.....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!! oh my gosh, wood fired pizza at home?!? do you think the dogs would let me eat in peace? or would they get 'pieces'? .
i bought my house last year, 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.....

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?
