We bought our home as a foreclosure, and while we were lucky in some aspects; great location, stainless steel appliances, lots of room. there were some other aspects that definitely needed to be changed. For starters, the previous owners allowed their cats to use the entire house as a litter box. The carpets were destroyed, even some of the baseboards, the smell was horrific. Also, the colors of the walls were an eyesore, think blood red sponge paint, neon orange, and pee (fitting with the smell) yellow. While we have come a very long way from those days (I promise I'll post before/after pictures eventually), there are still quite a few things on our "home to-do list."
- Replace floors
When we closed on the house we tore out the carpeting right away, but left the hardwood. So now we'd like to look into replacing it. Im thinking something like this
- spruce up patio with plants
- Curtains for living room
Top and bottom are 2 of my options for curtain fabric - whats your favorite?
- Replace sleeper sofa with daybed for loft
- Finish decorating guest bath
