What Would You Change???

What would any of you change about your home? Furniture, windows..etc.?

For me, it would be to change the flooring throughout the house (if I stay )

Where the dogs have missed the pad in the hallway, I've scrubbed and scrubbed and shampooed over and over and the stain still comes back through. I keep the dogs in the kitchen now so not to worry about other spots, but flooring would be what I would change. I would also like a new paint job. This old girl just isn't gonna tackle that one again.

When we built our house I wish that we would have built a deck or patio at the time instead of waiting. It's been 13 years and I'm still waiting for that to get done.

In my living room I had a peaked ceiling put in and I wish that I would have just had 8' ceilings throughout instead.

In my pantry I have shelves but on one side I wanted a counter top with shelves above it so I could put things like my toaster and things like that that you don't want sitting out on your counters all the time. The contractor didn't do it right and I didn't have the heart to make him change it. It's ok....it's just not what I had in mind.

Also....I got talked into having the popcorn ceiling and I hate it. I didn't want it then and I don't want it now!!!

There's some light switches and plug ins that I wish were different but mostly I'm pretty happy with things.

I would also have changed where the garage is behind the house. I would have had it where the driveway is and connected to the house. I would also like to move the house back a few yards too. We were really too young to build a house I think. Would have been so much better to have waited a few more years and have more experience in keeping a home. That way I would have known more about what I would want in a house.

1. I'd definitely get rid of the carpet on the first floor!!!!! I was supposed to get a new floor in the master bedroom a while back, but sadly it never happened.

2. Our lot was too small to build all one story and get all the rooms that we wanted, but I'd have a one story. It was nice having the girls upstairs when they were in high school. The separation was nice, but now with Emma and Karen having to carry her up and down our very tall stairs it's not good. I just want everything on the same level.

3. Rex is having trouble sleeping without background noise like the TV on all the time. I need quiet, and he claims that I snore. Of course he doesn't. He's up and down all night, too. So though I really hate the idea, I guess we need to master bedrooms. If we build again, which we are planning, I will be in the master and he will have another smaller bedroom connected somehow to the master bath so we are together but in separate bedrooms.

That's about it. Overall, I do love our current house, it's my favorite of anywhere we've lived, but for functionality as we move forward in life, the above changes will work much better.

We have lived here for 10 years. The only thing I would change is the carpets and put jets in the masterbath garden tub.

There are really alot more things I would change if I could but they really aren't needed, just wanted.

My front yard needs landscaping too. I'm going to quit planting flowers if we're going to have chickens and just buy some bushes for the front of the house. I just need to figure out how to pick out what will grow on that side of the house.

I'm hoping to plant a bush/shrub called Rose of Sharon. One of the kids I pick up for school has one out by the road and they are so pretty. If I can't find a good established plant at a nursery, I'll see if I can get a start off of one of theirs.

Getting ready to change the front doors this weekend so I'm happy about that. I would like to change our driveway some, but just not sure. I would like it more defined.

I love Rose of Sharon too Janet. They grow down here too, but probably a different variety. I've always wanted one too.
