10 Things I Would Fix In My Home
(if I had the time and money…and I owned the house-lol)
- No carpet. I would remove all of the carpet in this house and have wood floors. I’ve had both and no carpet is much more sanitary-especially with pets.
- Electricity: The electrical outlets in this house need some major updating-I believe it is the original and I only have 2 outlets that include the 3 prong plug-great!
- Even floor: I believe the house has settled-duh!The floors sink in at places and need to be leveled.
- Drapes: I need some major window treatments (drapes, curtains, and valences) for the whole house. I just can’t bring myself to do it here.
- Trees: I wish I could cut down the 2 apple trees, the 2 pine trees, and the walnut tree. The stuff I have to pick up is such a hassle and the apples don’t turn out good anyway. I have plenty of other trees all over the yard. I like trees that are beautiful and only produce leaves that fall-lol!
- Outside: I have 1 and a 1/2 acres and I would love to have my back yard fenced in. Patch, my 11 year old dalmatian, would love this too.
- Multicolored walls: The walls in this house are multicolored shades of white, off white…The whole house needs to be re-painted professionally. Not paint here and there and plaster there and here-aahhhh!
- Open/Shut Doors: The whole house needs new doors to the rooms. The door handles are not secure and you might shut a door and never get back in-hehe. Plus the doors are the original and are tearing/pealing off which can cause splinters or be a danger for my dog, Patch.
- Vinyl Floor: My kitchen floor is the original 1970’s yellow floor, I’m sure of it. It has torn places everywhere and you can see the concrete directly underneath. My favorite color is yellow-but when I see my floor-I wanna barf-hehe! I need a new kitchen floor!
- Earth: The earth/ground outside needs leveling and holes need filled. It is a danger zone in many spots. I just avoid those places, because my feet don’t work well on stairs or in holes.
My house is really a great house for the price compared to most in my area, but this sums up what I really need to do: NEED TO MOVE!

Very intricate list, Mercedes! I agree on the paints! We need that, too! Thanks for dropping by my site.
You’re welcome and ditto right back at ya! Your list seems very do-able!
Very nice idea with the acronym!!
Thank you! Nice list you have too!
Very interesting, sounds like we all have some of the same ideas, thanks for stopping by earlier!
I really enjoyed your oasis idea! Have a great day!
I have wood floors in my house…no carpet and I love it!
Great list.
Thanks for stopping by! We did just get a roof on our house-woohoo!
We should be getting new windows and doors soon. They should be coming in any day now.
Good for you!
Great list. I enjoyed it. We have hardwood floors and I do love them. I would never go with carpet ever again.
I once had no carpet and I can’t wait to go back! I posted what I had for Sunday Dinner at Jedd’s parents house.
Wow- great list! I do understand on the leveling factor…. whew!
Hugs to Patches! and have a great week ya’ll!
~W~
Thanks for stopping by and sending hugs to Patch! I completely understand your security updates at your place!
Lotsa to-do’s here and unfortunately, they’ll all cost money. If you’re like me, it’s not easy to come by.
We have similar answers on quite a few. Great minds think alike?
Happy Tuesday! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I’m like you-but even if I did have the money I wouldn’t do these things-hehe-rental property. We did think alike on many: walls, floors, and windows!
Your #3 should be on my list too… Our house was built in 45, and the floors just are NOT even anymore, it drives me insane.
Have a great week!
Thanks for stopping by! Sounds like you will be working on the basement-lol! I love the Florida Room-cool!
I should have added more outlets too. Our home is an old farmhouse so needs lots of repairs.
Thanks for coming over! I love your falling daisies! The work you want done sounds wonderful! I would love to be back on a farm!
I’d like to do a lot of those same things at my house too. Not the carpet though- I prefer carpet with a toddler. She slips so easily on our non-carpeted floors.
Thanks for coming over! Yes-if I had children, my views on carpet might change-not sure!
Wow! You’re planning on some major renovations!
Thanks for stopping my mine 🙂
No~I’m not~I will be moving before I personally do any of these-lol! This isn’t my house! You are so welcome! Come on back anytime!
