I don't know WTF the people who renovated this house were thinking having only two outlets in the kitchen. They're also both on the same wall. Im not sure how I convinced myself it wasn't that big a deal when we bought the house either. petitenoisette on "The one change you'd make to your house if you could" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-one-change-youd-make-to-your-house-if-you-could/page/2#post-2655046 Sun, 20 Nov 2016 20:46:38 +0000 petitenoisette 2655046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Make the backyard flat.

Lol. If I had to choose, I would want to make it more "stylish". It's a bit drab and since we rent, it's less of a priority for us to buy a lot of decorative stuff that would make it nicer looking.

We have a ton of other items we'd love but none are realistic. Those are doable ....if we had an extra 50k laying around 😭 HLK208 on "The one change you'd make to your house if you could" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-one-change-youd-make-to-your-house-if-you-could/page/2#post-2654780 Sat, 19 Nov 2016 13:30:52 +0000 HLK208 2654780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ A bigger yard Beth24 on "The one change you'd make to your house if you could" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-one-change-youd-make-to-your-house-if-you-could/page/2#post-2654768 Sat, 19 Nov 2016 13:02:06 +0000 Beth24 2654768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Definitely would be to add a 4th bedroom. We plan on having 3 kids and my in-laws live out of town. I don't mind the kids sharing a room and it would be awesome to have an extra room for guests that could double as a playroom. mamabolt on "The one change you'd make to your house if you could" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-one-change-youd-make-to-your-house-if-you-could/page/2#post-2654705 Sat, 19 Nov 2016 09:08:55 +0000 mamabolt 2654705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Separate office space for me and DH.

We have an ugly blue slate tile in the dining area, and an ugly white tile in the kitchen and entry. The white tile is impossible to keep clean, especially because it has and uneven surface that dirt gets trapped in SOOO easily. The blue tile has had this gross greasy sheen to it since the day we moved in, and nothing (and I mean NOTHING) I do seems to get rid of it. I am also not sure what color the grout is actually supposed to be, since it ranges in color from white to black. Gross. I just want something that is easy to clean and matches! And that won't show the dirt if I neglect to mop!! babynumber1 on "The one change you'd make to your house if you could" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-one-change-youd-make-to-your-house-if-you-could/page/2#post-2654243 Fri, 18 Nov 2016 09:59:32 +0000 babynumber1 2654243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ A second living space to make a playroom.

Right now we live up a steep hill so DS can't play in the front or on the driveway. If the work was being done by a regular contractor, I'd like to move the laundry upstairs and our of our mudroom. That would give us more mudroom/entry space and I wouldn't have to bring laundry up and down all the time.
