Of course, I have already mentioned the deck, but that is outside the house. In here, I wish I could replace the refrigerator. All my other large appliances other than the range are fairly new. I am tired of the fridge and its odd configurement. I don't care about having a tap on the front anymore. I would just like something with more space. However, the dedicated space here for the fridge wouldn't really handle one much larger. I have a big kitchen, why did they make the space for the fridge so small? That is neither here or there though..I just would like a different fridge. This has seen better days, oh and of course my furniture needs updating, but I am working on that. The fridge as long as it is working is on the back burner.

I’d get a better stair system. My neighbor across the street has a ramp; and, while it’s not ADA compliant, it’s much easier to navigate than steps.

Hmm, you mean within the house or outside?..they have those stair lifter gadgets at different price points.

@snowy22315 — outside. The stairs up to the attic aren’t “legal” these days (they were installed long before I bought the house, and I’ve had it for 36 years). I guess that doesn’t properly answer your question, because you did say “IN” the house.

If it looks good and is comfy, why would you want to replace it?

@snowy22315 We don't have a good and comfy sofa in our house and we only have a Filipino style wooden sofa. We have to seat in one place comfortably.

@much2say They come in handy, but one thing I really don't like is it is too easy to throw something in there and forget it..

Oh, the closet space here is more than adequate. I could no joke turn the walk in closet in my bedroom into a den, although it might be kind of claustrophobic with no windows 
.The townhouse I lived in before had those crappy closets on a track that were always getting off track. I would never want to go back to those!

@snowy22315 Wow, I would love to have your closet rooms! Oh gosh, I remember track closets . . . yah, sometimes they did annoyingly get off the track.

I would dearly love to buy a new cook stove. Trouble is, this one is new, but I hate it. The burners won't stay at high heat. They get really hot, then cool down, then heat up which is horrible for frying, especially corn bread. I just don't understand why it's designed like this. I thought about returning it, but installing another one is a difficult job for my husband.

Get a haul away and install. That is what I always do. At least one of my burners doesn't work very well.

I would like a new faucet in the sink. Mine is old fashioned and comes with no sprayer. I could use a sprayer.

@dgobucks226 Yes, it is quite expensive, that is why I won't do it now.

That's just what I did. I just replaced all the cabinets, sink, and faucet. I will re-paint the walls myself. Redoing a kitchen is really expensive!

I would love to update a lot of my house, we bought it over a year ago and it needs a lot of work. We have done quite a bit of it. Our conservatory needs replacing I think it’s as old as the house. We did have a kitchen put in as we only had a sink in it. We have a shower enclosure it is so good to have.

I have that same problem, limited space for a refrigerator. The counter that meets that space has an over hang, so when I get ready for a new refrigerator, we will definitely measure to see if taking that lip off and adding a couple of inches will get me a bigger refrigerator. If so, I'll be a happy lady!!
I would also like a bigger shower instead of this one that you can't turn around in.

@snowy22315 I do miss it in the summer time. But like I said a true pain since you can't bend over or move around much in it.

I would like a walk in closet. I have one in Florida and it is such a treat. It helps keep me organized.

Sis has a teeny tiny kitchen and at one time they had 4 people living in that house, I don't know how they managed. They like the house though because it is paid off and gives them lots of extra cash per month.

I got a new fridge a few years ago with the freezer on the bottom. I like it so much better than my old one.
I would love to replace my small shower in my master bathroom for a much larger one. Its not something I need but would like
Meanwhile my current project is the stairs and hallway upstairs and I'm waiting for the flooring.

@snowy22315 I would prefer that but we had to take what was here. Most is tiles.

I wouldn't mind an extra fridge, but we can't afford that much electricity no matter how new the fridge would be. The current one is perfect but always full, I just want two.
I don't know what I would replace, maybe I'd get a smaller desk so I can add a standing desk and have two desks in my room. 
Really, I'd love to try a standing desk!
