The Friday Five … house renovations
My questions to you this fine Friday involve your home past, present or future…
1) If you could, what room in the place you are currently living would you redo first?
The bathrooms – I really want my toilets to sit level on the floor – not much – just the simple pleasure of not rocking on the commode every morning or shimming it.
2) What is the most hideous feature/color/decor item you have ever seen in a home?
It’s hard to say since I like a wide variety of decorating schemes and can even appreciate some of the older styles – however, shag carpet has to be it – and yes, I had some in the 70s and thought it was wonderful but now I think of sticky messes, dog messes and shag – OH YUCK!
3) What feature do you most covet? Do you have it? If not, is it within reach?
Deck – We have a very small deck but I would like a multi-level deck where we could really cook and entertain or just sit and relax with a good book.
4) Your kitchen - love it or hate it? Why?
Both – it was remodeled before we moved into the manse. However, it is small and there just needs to be more space – particularly since I love to display dishes. Saw a great old brass coat rack from a downtown Pittsburgh hotel at a second hand store this week. Would love to have room to use it for a pot rack.
5) Here is $10,000 and you HAVE to spend it on the place you are living now. What do you do?
Put on the deck mentioned above and put in new carpeting – our carpet is supposed to be beige but it’s really pink –
BONUS: Why do you think there was such a surplus of ugly bathroom tile colors showcased in all homes built from the 1950’s right through the early 80’s?
Actually I really like some of them – and don’t laugh – I like the ugly pink and black bathrooms – yep Pepto Bismol pink – so ugly you gotta love it! Had one in a house once.
