I'm catching up. <br /><br />This is a GREAT house. Totally agree with your choice to remove the wallpaper. I love the blue paint color y'all picked for the kitchen. The hardwood floor in the living room is so pretty!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941057754296372495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730869259900917297.post-15556437583904695082010-01-17T23:48:51.231-06:002010-01-17T23:48:51.231-06:00I LOVE IT.

I agree with the other commenters, this house looks like it has tons of potential! though I have never owned a home and you can't do much in apartments, I get a lot of my ideas from HGTV! :)<br /><br />I think the biggest change you can make is painting the walls. I'm a bright colors kind of gal, but warm neutrals look nice if you're more low key. I think the color in the dining room looks nice already. I think your living room would look amazing with some paint on the walls that will make that fireplace pop! you could maybe even paint your fireplace white for a more modern look... <br /><br />anyway, I can't wait to see what you do with your new place!! so exciting!Carissa Thilgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461334542105430269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730869259900917297.post-34568684236754132812010-01-16T12:17:44.322-06:002010-01-16T12:17:44.322-06:00Gorgeous!!!

Wallpaper comes down. Only replace it if you find something truly awesome and young.<br /><br />2. Paint all of the rooms that bother you. I personally enjoy color in a house but in muted tones. When I see all neutral walls I think rental.<br /><br />3. Window treatments. Even a simple curtain can make a huge difference in a room. Also, curtains are really easy to make yourself.<br /><br />After that I would take some time to see what you can live with and what you absolutely can't. If the countertops drive you nuts then work on saving for new countertops. If it ends up being the carpet, then save for new carpet or hardwood. If you find you want to overhaul several of rooms, save for them one at a time and tackle them all at once start to finish. If you don't do it that way, you'll end up with a ton of unfinished projects (My parents house is a perfect case study for this) <br /><br />The house really has alot of potential! I look forward to seeing the changes you make!!Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04138050246830502228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730869259900917297.post-87429942357516903822010-01-15T23:45:11.127-06:002010-01-15T23:45:11.127-06:00I love the hardwood floors in the living room!

I'm not for sure what color carpet that is, either brown or a dark red but I personally could deal with such dark carpet.

I dunno, it's my style to have ALL neutral walls and then a few accent walls here and there throughout the house and maybe some funky/bright artwork on the walls!<br /><br />I LOVE that you have a fireplace. That's something I want in my future home one day!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185652640389232120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730869259900917297.post-45990178886594866482010-01-15T20:05:03.810-06:002010-01-15T20:05:03.810-06:00What a great space - I love the floors & the r...What a great space - I love the floors & the real wood burning fireplace! It will be so fun to make it your own space by painting, etc.<br /><br />I am honestly the worst at interior decorating, though. I can make big decisions like buying a house, but can't seem to decide on paint colors! I get so overwhelmed, so my best friend just picks them out for me. Then she takes me shopping & picks out stuff to accessorize my house with. She enjoys it so it works well for both of us!!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730869259900917297.post-37113392900174797802010-01-15T19:23:11.329-06:002010-01-15T19:23:11.329-06:00Check out www.younghouselove.com for some awesome ...Check out www.younghouselove.com for some awesome DIY tips!!Sarah @ Preaching In Pumpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17692318075255368895noreply@blogger.com
