Here’s another “What if?” entry, just because they’re fun.
What if I won a home makeover sweepstakes that said I could have unlimited funds to completely redo my current home and property? What would I do?
- Rip down the wallpaper.
- Refinish all the woodwork to it’s original state.
- Rip up the carpet.
- Refinish the hardwood floors.
- Buy area rugs.
- Replace all windows with high-efficiency models.
- Waterproof the basement.
- Get a clothes washer and dryer.
- Redo the kitchen with new appliances.
- Expand the downstairs quarter bath to a full bath (or at least a half).
- Remove and resell all the cabinets (they’re in good shape).
- Replace cabinets and counter top, but keep the sink.
- Completely redo upstairs bathroom with tile, new tub/shower, new toilet, new sink.
- Rip up shag carpeting in the kids’ rooms.
- Buy matching shelving and furniture for the entire house.
- Buy a really comfortable chair set for the front porch so we can people watch.
- Rebuild the garage.
- Fix the brickwork outside.
- Replace our asphalt roof with a green roof.
- Install some solar panels, if possible.
- Get new curtains.
- Get someone to mount our television on the wall.
- Buy everyone in the house a desk.
- Get a dining room table and chairs.
- Finish the basement so it’s not so scary to go down there.
Yeah, I think that’s about it.
