Cooking grease is gross! If I could add a third- definitely dishwasher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-make-two-upgrades-to-your-homeapartment/page/2#post-2175660 Tue, 12 May 2015 12:29:21 +0000 BSB 2175660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish we had a walk-in closet in our master bedroom.

Replace upstairs and lower level flooring. Our house was originally one level, then had the basement and attic finished. They have a horrible mishmash of builder grade carpet, laminate and linoleum flooring that we tried to DIY, but we did a pretty bad job. </p> <p>2. Outlets on the other kitchen walls. We have a three sided kitchen that is open to the dining area. Only one of the three walls has any outlets. </p> <p>Also on the list: laundry chute, roof replacement, insulation in the upstairs, working ceiling light fixture in guest room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-make-two-upgrades-to-your-homeapartment/page/2#post-2175246 Tue, 12 May 2015 08:44:35 +0000 avivoca 2175246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love to put hardwood floors in our living room and hallway, and if I'm really dreaming, add another bedroom.

That'd be perfect</p> <p>And a yard so we could just let the dogs out rather than walking them... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-make-two-upgrades-to-your-homeapartment/page/2#post-2175180 Tue, 12 May 2015 08:09:08 +0000 Anagram 2175180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Add 3rd bedroom and our condo would be perfect for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-make-two-upgrades-to-your-homeapartment#post-2175170 Tue, 12 May 2015 08:03:01 +0000 miramira 2175170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Redesign the layout so that the kitchen and living room are adjoining<br /> Create integrated closets </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-make-two-upgrades-to-your-homeapartment#post-2175168 Tue, 12 May 2015 08:01:01 +0000 jhd 2175168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update kitchen cabinets &amp; update bathrooms </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-make-two-upgrades-to-your-homeapartment#post-2175164 Tue, 12 May 2015 07:56:52 +0000 Ree723 2175164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Renovated family bathroom (will be happening this year) and a larger, improved utility room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-make-two-upgrades-to-your-homeapartment#post-2175155 Tue, 12 May 2015 07:53:03 +0000 Bao 2175155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A bathroom upstairs by the bedrooms and a mudroom/bigger back entrance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-make-two-upgrades-to-your-homeapartment#post-2175152 Tue, 12 May 2015 07:49:03 +0000 Smurfette 2175152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Finish the basement<br /> Update the kitchen </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-make-two-upgrades-to-your-homeapartment#post-2175150 Tue, 12 May 2015 07:48:11 +0000 ValentineMommy 2175150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1.

I love all our windows (12), but working or watching tv in the am is impossible due to all the light reflections on the screens. To cover all our windows is like buying a new car. No thanks.</p> <p>I've always wanted a double oven so I'd totally move my microwave over and install a double oven.

Our bath is so outdated! We're planning on doing this in the next year so we can sell our house. I think our current bathroom is a deal breaker for most people house hunting! </p> <p>New floors - we have manufactured wood laminate flooring stuff and I hate it. I would love to have dark hardwood! We won't be upgrading it on this house but hopefully our next house has it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-make-two-upgrades-to-your-homeapartment#post-2175139 Tue, 12 May 2015 07:39:05 +0000 MrsADS 2175139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>New windows for the whole house (hurricane impact glass)<br /> Brand new yard/landscaping</p> <p>Both are crazy expensive. </p>
