If you could change your home

[SaddleTrail]

I live in our family home of 35 years. I would change the kitchen first. I have no place to put food, no counter space other then my small cutting board grrrrrr.

Then I would love to have a barn/garage!

But thats it!

We are in the process of changing it now...pretty much a total remodel...about 75% done. It is small only 1200 sq ft, but it's just us two, so that's fine. I love our property so have no gripes with that. I do wish we had a basement (we do have a huge pole barn that is heated, drywalled). Basements are not real popular around here...lots of sand and water in our area.

Have a wee country house too.

I like the house but for these things.

We are in bad need of a real stone Colonial type fireplace. Have had the power out enough this winter... I sooo wish we could put one in, as Electric is our only source of heat, power goes out............ well you know.

The wan'a be fireplace insert doesn't do a good job of heating the house and you can't build a big fire in it safely.

I would like wood floors thorough out the house, would be easier to clean and I would not have to worry about the animals and the men of the house from getting it dirty. Then a Mud room would be nice.

Won't even get started on the out buildings I need.

Then I would have a bigger kitchen

I would be a VERY VERY HAPPY Woman

I have a lovely "Southwestern-ranch style house, just under 2300 sq. ft., built in the late '70s. It has lots of nice features, though some aspects would be considered out-dated these days by some, I imagine.

If I had my 'druthers', though, I'd have it jacked up and moved(not possible, because it is built on a concrete slab, the norm in this part of the country), and replace it with a small, passive solar!

My mother was an interior designer. She LOVED to pore over house plans, and I inherited her love of that, though I'm not at ALL into interior decoration per se, AND I don't have the financial resources, so the interior here is as it has been since we moved here. I like to 'play with' drawing plans for my 'dream' cottage, but don't think it'll ever come to pass, as I have acreage and horse facilities(barn, outbuildings, arena) that I would NOT want to part with!

My husband and I designed our dream house and had it custom built in 2001. I like it just the way it is - a 2500 sq ft reproduction colonial with 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and sunroom with washer/dryer on the first floor near the back door so I don't have to cart dirty horse blankets through the house. Washer/dryer is also right by the hot tub, which is under the sky light and handy for folding clothes. Sunroom also serves as a mud room. We have a walk-through butlers pantry and LOTS of closets and storage space, a front porch and rear deck. Haven't needed to change the house, but did have to add onto the barn already!!!

when we bought this home we still had 5 of our 6 boys at home. if I were to build again Id make it look the same but smaller.we are at 2600 square ft. and would be much more comfortable in 1800 sf. Id also make it out of logs
