What we have done:
- Nada. Besides add furniture. Mismatched furniture at that.
What we love:
- The natural light
- The fact that it is open to the kitchen. It is a nice family area. You can have toys out and a little bit of a mess but people who come over don't automatically see it all. It is definitely the most lived in room.
What we plan on fixing/changing:
- Paint
- Paint the ceiling and trim
- Replace the window
- Add curtains
- Repair the hole in the wall by the heating vent
- Remove the heating vent
- Replace the carpet with new carpet
- Add a lot of pictures on the North wall
- Maybe reupholster the couch someday. I love the couch, but the cushions have shrunk (oops!) and it just looks silly. I had a estimate done. It will cost about $1200.00. That is not chump change!
- Replace the ceiling fan
- Create some sort of a toy storage area
You mean you didn't want to leave up ALL of the photos of the grandkids?? haha kidding. The high ceilings in that house are amazing, it is looking so good! It makes me feel happy that someone who cares bought grandmas house. You guys are going to make it a happy place:)
ReplyDeleteHaha, wouldn't it have been kinda creepy if we left them all up? But kinda funny...
