Describe one major change you would like to make in your home?

We need to finish painting. We started the entryway and up the stairs now I just need to finish it. Our bedroom could use some paint also. It has this wallpaper that is just not right. And the bathroom needs painting also. I don't know where they got their wallpaper but it just isn't right. We are renting but are allowed to paint, wallpaper, and tile if we choose too. Our tile needs to be changed also. The owner will pay for that. I would like to change the carpeting. I may ask my landlord if this is a possiblity. They are very open to suggestions. Okay, there are alot of major changes needed in this house. LOL..

I would like to say the freeloader and his boyfriend need to be removed from my home, but thats a whole different discussion...I would have to say I need to do some serious painting in here...some of the walls due to smoking and clumsy friends are two and three different colors...

I would like to have an extra room just for my office, instead of having it in my bedroom.

There is so much I would like to change in our condo! We bought it under the impression that everything was recently updated. Some guy who owned the condo before us did a lot of changes but couldn't afford to pay the bills, so it foreclosed on him. Someone else bought the foreclosure, painted the walls and put on new carpet and then he sold it to us. It looked great and we thought we got a good deal. A few months later we realized there was a huge mold problem. The guy who fixed it up slapped a bunch of nice tile up to cover up the problem. We're finally getting that taken care of courtesty of the 4th floor because it was all caused by a leak in their unit which they refused to fix...still is, but the association is going to force entry and have them fix it. The "new" washer and dyer were old and barely work. But we're getting both of those replaced because a friend works as a maintence man in an apartment building. They are replacing all their units 3 year old washers and dryers. So although they aren't brand new, they're good enough for me and they're free. Yay! Next, I'd like to replace the entire kitchen. The cabinets are gross and the microwave heats the plates not the food. I'd also like to paint the walls! Just by adding paint it would make such a differnce! I'd like to do red, but I've heard how much it takes to do it that color...we're rethinking that idea! haha. We really grateful how much is gone to be done free of cost to us because of poor maintence on others parts! But still we want to be able to do as much as we can for resale!

Add more space! Talk about major change. My home is actually for sale right now (for many reasons). One is that we have only one living space, the family room, and it is small. This is keeping us from selling our house.

I would like to replace the carpet in my house. However I live in post housing, so we are not allowed to do anything like that. We have lived here for 6 years though and the carpet is really gross. it has stains (they were here when we moved in) and it stinks unless i vacuum every single day. And it is the ugliest color. Oh well, geuss i will have to live with it.

I agree with you color really helps does bring out your home. If I could make one change in our home it would be to move the house back away from the street more.LOL I know its not possible but I would think it would make it alot more private and less noisey.LOL I have plenty of land in the back thats all trees so it would great!

We are on the same thoughts about this, but my idea of doing something major in our house (if ever), is a second-story for our every rooms and a nice hot and cold shower with a tub!;) I believe that home is a place to be happy, have fun, to rest and also to relax. As we work all day, we need time to take care of such things in our home. We really need to have something for us to enjoy, right in the comfort of our own house. To have something more relaxing like a flower bath on a tub, like an aroma therapy helps pamper our tired body and get rejuvenated as another day sets for us to deal with..

i want to add some decorations like flowers.. they'll make the room come a live and look pleasant. :)

Oh, I am actually planning on to do some changes around my house. Nothing major just a few things to make my house look exciting once more. I've been holding off the idea of plastering my wall with some nice wallpaper. It used to be really white but now, it had reduced to a dirty white, LOL. I might go ahead with my plan since my house is kind of boring to look at now. I always like to see new surrounding on the place I live. :)

I would love to build an extension to make the kitchen bigger and have an extra bedroom and shower room! I know that seems like more than one and that I am cheating but it really is all tangled up in one! lol I only wish I could afford to do that! xxx

We need to repaint the whole apartment as we have been living there for than 4 years. But my hubby always says it is still in a good condition that doesn’t need to be painted yet. For me, I am too busy with work and housework that I don’t have extra time to do it. So I only can hope next summer we can hire the painter to do the work while I can take some time off to do the cleaning.

We have small 6 rooms. I want to convert them into big rooms. But it will cost a lot. I can not afford to do so. I wish I could do that. I have a basement but I do not like it.

our home is a hundred square meter floor area, i would love to have a second floor, so that all the bedrooms will be located on the second floor, and the ground floor is a playgound for my little girl,..( sort of,)

I am renting a house now. I haven't bought my own house yet. The house I am living now is quite cozy and large, with wide land surrounding the house. It is approximately 1 acre wide. I love this house, and maybe I would buy it if the landlord offered to sell it. If this house is going to be mine, I would enlarge the living room. I would add another garage and build a small fish pond inside the house. I would build a small swimming pool too, so that my family and friends can enjoy themselves when they come over.

I would build an upstairs and include a library, office, and a school room along with a larger bedroom for my youngest child. I would like to repaint my kitchen too but that would be after the upstairs. After all of those repairs, I would add a bay window to the living room as it needs to look bigger!!

it's a shame they don't let you paint the walls. I'm sure the value of the apartment will go up with nice newly painted walls. perhaps you could check with your landlord? if the colour scheme is something that he likes, perhaps he'll let you go ahead. one major change I'd like to make is to make the bathroom more spacious! i suppose that will involve all sorts of complications, so I'll have to make do with nice hotel toilets for now.

I need a new kitchen! My hubby started redoing the cabinets about 3 years ago, but he stopped and started another project and never has finished the kitchen. I think alot of men are that way...lol Then the diningroom needs repainted and new border put on and the bathroom needs redone also. My list is actually endless!

I have the same problem you do. I can't paint the walls. But I have a bunch of movie posters hanging in my wall so it makes up for it :)

I would like to get rid of the carpets and put down wood or tile instead. THe carpets get filthy, and I haven't found a vacuum cleaner that doesn't break down within a year!
