We are both really wanting a new couch and end tables/coffee table. We're waiting until we buy a new house to make the purchases though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-gave-you-5k-to-redo-a-room-in-your-house/page/2#post-1344959 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 09:12:22 +0000 Alivoo01 1344959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Master bath. It needs to be gutted and renovated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-gave-you-5k-to-redo-a-room-in-your-house/page/2#post-1344779 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 07:29:03 +0000 delight 1344779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only have the kitchen left to do, so I guess that! We already bought appliances so 5k would likely be a good start to cupboards and counters but we'd need a little more :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-gave-you-5k-to-redo-a-room-in-your-house/page/2#post-1344758 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 07:08:28 +0000 looch 1344758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Laundry room, for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-gave-you-5k-to-redo-a-room-in-your-house/page/2#post-1344730 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 06:39:17 +0000 Smurfette 1344730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: We got a quote to level off our backyard and make a retaining wall.....$30K! Smaller places told us that it was too big of a job for them. So looks likes it won't be done for years. DH is so bummed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-gave-you-5k-to-redo-a-room-in-your-house/page/2#post-1344716 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 06:29:03 +0000 LovelyPlum 1344716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: this is us, except we don't even have a futon! We try to go a step up from student stuff when we can, but it is pieced together, and a lot are hand me downs. I think I could realistically buy some decent furniture for our whole place for that much money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-gave-you-5k-to-redo-a-room-in-your-house/page/2#post-1344705 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 06:16:51 +0000 Andrea 1344705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would buy new bedroom furniture because $5k isn't enough to redo a bathroom or kitchen and those are the places that need redoing in our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-gave-you-5k-to-redo-a-room-in-your-house/page/2#post-1344628 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 02:24:47 +0000 lamariniere 1344628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would splurge on a new couch and armchairs. The ones I have on my wish list would wipe out the budget pretty quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-gave-you-5k-to-redo-a-room-in-your-house/page/2#post-1344595 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 01:38:36 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1344595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not enough to do the kitchen, so I'd do the entryway/entrance nook and maybe even a new rug for the laundry room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-gave-you-5k-to-redo-a-room-in-your-house/page/2#post-1344592 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 01:35:35 +0000 HLK208 1344592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: DH is the same way! We had bids done for our unfinished backyard at my old house and for everything DH drew out, it would have been $20k, ugh. Insane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-gave-you-5k-to-redo-a-room-in-your-house/page/2#post-1344590 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 01:32:45 +0000 HLK208 1344590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Living room! Couch, coffee table, rug and wall art would probably be about 5k. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-gave-you-5k-to-redo-a-room-in-your-house/page/2#post-1344572 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 00:48:32 +0000 loveisstrange 1344572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kitchen or bathroom.

New couches and a new bed for us I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-gave-you-5k-to-redo-a-room-in-your-house/page/2#post-1344498 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 23:32:03 +0000 Crystal 1344498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our room with all new furniture and paint! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-gave-you-5k-to-redo-a-room-in-your-house/page/2#post-1344245 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 21:35:59 +0000 blackbird 1344245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bathroom. 5K isn't enough for the kitchen or any other work and the bathroom could use a facelift.</p> <p>Our house has a non working steam room in the finished basement.
