Is your home excactly how you would like it to be?

Not even close. Oh, it is still a wonderful house, and we love it, but more projects always loom on the horizon. Currently? Clean out the garage, weed the flower garden in the front, move the rest of the herbs into a new bed, leaving the old bed to the dillweed, move the walking onions to a new bed, leaving their old bed to the chives. And those are just the projects that don't require money. For the ones that require money, we want to make some changes to the bathrooms. Currently they are carpeted. We want to rip out the carpet and install tile. The shower stall in the main bathroom needs a bit of work. The wallpaper edging has been partly ripped down by the five-year-old, so needs to be replaced. A couple of doors need repair... And then there's the long-term stuff. I'd like to add a sun-room for seed-starting. We have a huge upstairs closet. I'd like to put in a dormer, add a couple of outlets and extend the heating duct into it to make it another room. We'd also build a small closet in the room that this closet supposedly services.

No since my house is not quite big, I think it was not really arrange and not in good position. Because it was only done by the brains of a carpenter and not an architect or an engeneer. I can say only three people are suit to live in my house and if someone will add to it will be a crowded one. So now did you ever try to imagine how big is my house heheheeh... But at least it is complete with bath,sink and a room in the second floor.

Hi maximax8, thanks for starting this discussion as I am very fond of building my dream home. I do not like much hi fi home. But a cosy small bungalow separate from the busy city life. And also with a small garden in front of it. I am not know financially so sound to buy such a home but I will do it a day. In my present home also I try to keep it calm and cool from every ends with less possible wastes or mess.

yes at present it is pretty much how I like it. That's cos I just moved in and just completed extensive renovations, completely overhauling the kitchen and two bathrooms. You must be so pleased with your new bathroom and kitchen! but those are also quite expensive, I know from experience. tiling is soooooooo costly! I would like to decorate my home a bit more. it's kinda bare at the moment. but my hubbs likes things plain and simple so we're kinda in a quandary there. and I wouldn't like to put up shelves or display cabinets that don't look nice in the end. that's my conundrum - cheap things are not nice, nice things are not cheap. sigh. :)

I don't think my house will ever be the way I want it. That would mean me having to do all of the work myself. I can't see that happening in the near future. Hopefully I can keep going room to room and getting rid of stuff.

No Dear, My home will never be the way that I would want it to be, But I am so very thankful for what I have.I do have a roof over my head.that is so much more than alot of people have..I have a older house that my Mother sold to me at a very low price, I am disabled on social security disability, and never have extra money to fix up my house. I have two bedrooms a small bath. I have no central heat or air, Only I space heater to heat the whole house, I have window air condions. My bathroom nees remodled. My kitchen floor needs replaced, I need new cabnets. I need siding on the outside, the wood is rotting. I have only 2 very small closets, I need closet space.There are so many things that need dne, But I am single so I have no help.

It is not exactly like i want it to be, but it is not far fromit. We have redeorated the entire flat almost during the 6 years we have been here. I would like a new woodburning owen. The one we have is very ugly and old. We are also going to put down new countertops, new sink and tiles in the kitchen. We have had the tiles a year, but have just not gotten around to fixing the kitchen yet.

honestly now!!.... everything is a mess....lol... i always dream of having a big house with 4 bedrooms for my sisters, brothers and i cause we are 8, another room for our parents and one or toe guest room... but it did not happened... yes we used to have a big house but not the rooms that i want... we have big kitchen and veranda both up and down. we also have garage and big leaving room..... but it's designs are wasted.... everything is a mess... T_T

My house is not even close to how I want it to be. It's a 2 family, 100+ year old, Victorian style. We had such big plans when we bought it almost 6 years ago. But keeping up with repairs keeps our budget from being able to afford the remodeling type stuff we need/want to do. It seems every other month something major breaks, blows-up or flies off the house (the last problem was a section of roof blowing off in a storm-ugh).

We live in a small apart which is located at the third floor of an apartment building... it is very small so i cannot put a lot of furniture and things that i want so that it would look like my ideal home... other than that, my husband prefer to have more space than furniture...so it is kind of a practical home rather than the homey home that most women want...

Sorry,i regret that my home is full of mess.My husband often says my home is just like a refuse dump.i go to work very early and come back for supper in the evening..After doing these,what i only wanna do is to lie down and relax. i imagine that my living room is clear and everything is placed where they would be... If i am free at weekend,my house will be swept.Maybe it will come true.

Hi maximax8! My house is not exactly as I would like it to be...as soon as I able to actually get the home I would like, then I will make it how I would like it to be. I like minimalist design in homes. So maybe some of my own paintings on the walls and very little else in the way of ornamentation. The bathroom is very important as I love to spend so much time in there! My dream is to move overseas, but for now I will settle for a coastal town near me.
