I have big plans for my house... if only I had the funds to support them!
The husband and I moved into our home 3 years ago in February. I was actually hesitant to even look at it in the beginning. I said that I wanted an older brick home and this was neither. But then I went inside and instantly fell in love.
Three years later, I still love my home just the way it is. I simply have a few ideas of ways to make it even better!
We have a large bonus room upstairs that is as unfinished as they come. Besides the studs that mark where the walls would/should be, it is pretty much just a spacious attic with a nice staircase leading up to it. Finishing the bonus room is definitely at the top of my home renovations list, but I have something a little more exciting in mind.
Instead of just finishing the space as laid out, I'd like to rip off the back half of our roof and extend the upstairs space all the way back to be flush with the downstairs. The front half of the roof can stay, although I would like to cut in two gabled dormer windows. No biggie, right? I envision an additional bedroom, a hangout/play room and an extra bathroom in the expanded space. Of course I don't actually expect for this extreme transformation to take place, but I do hope to at least put up some walls and add some flooring sometime soon!
Our backyard could use some work as well. We currently have a little brick patio off the backdoor, but nothing exciting that entices me to venture outside that often. I'd like to add a deck or possibly a screened in porch. A fire pit would be a fantastic addition, and Kevin has requested a hot tub. We also need a fence for a dog and future children, other fences are not all the riveting.
