The house I had in Colorado was recently remodeled... and I didnt quite agree with all the choices, though they were neutral in color, but I felt like it would be a waste of money to change them since they'd been so recently done. I guess that's why when I bought a house in Ohio I decided that picking one that required a face lift was a better choice since I could remake it in my own style... And it has been fun, albeit trying at times. But in ways, I really like my house in Ohio better because of all the work I've done.<BR/><BR/>Next time, though, I think I'm going to have a house built... then I can specify how I want it done and then I wont have to do anything else to it for awhile. ;) Ha!!

Ugh. <BR/><BR/>But, as you mention, it'll be fun (interesting) putting my own signature on the place and making it mine.<BR/><BR/>We looked at a lot of already renovated older homes, but decided we would probably prefer to renovate a house to our specifications.cathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507895793724303891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859748852940300750.post-32270836101761747002009-01-27T08:50:00.000-06:002009-01-27T08:50:00.000-06:00Gib - It will certainly be tempting to overspend a...Gib - It will certainly be tempting to overspend at Home Depot as there is A LOT that needs done!

Actually, though, the bathroom looked like 1958 and my dad would never let me live it down--he shamed me into remodeling it quickly. Now, I just have the kitchen, which, by the way, needs to be totally gutted and redone with new cabinets AND appliances as my appliances are clearly from 1978 as well.<BR/><BR/>Did I mention I need siding? And that my yard looks like crap? And that I replaced the windows two summers ago? <BR/><BR/>And they had hideous wall paper everywhere that I had to remove.<BR/><BR/>The joys of homeownership!! But, congrats, cuz when you DO fix it up--even little by little--it becomes more your own... And then you really feel a sense of accomplishment. So as much as I bitch about all the stuff left to do, I'm proud of what I've done cuz it's mine and it looks like me. =)Mars Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11403414048823693159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859748852940300750.post-89386784364778374902009-01-26T20:24:00.000-06:002009-01-26T20:24:00.000-06:00Oh yeah...the bathrooms and kitchen need some seri...Oh yeah...the bathrooms and kitchen need some serious renovation.
