What Drives You Nuts About Your House?

[smiles4u]

We as a few days ago have a furry border in our roof ... yep, a darn possum DP forgot to mention he noticed one of the wooden borders closest to the eves has come off, hence leaving a nice gap for a possum to get in

My loungeroom is soooo small (my least fav room) ... Also i want a separate dunny (hate em in the bathroom) & i would LOVE a double kitchen sink, & more bench space in the kitchen (or maybe just a dishwasher to hide dirty dishes in will do, LOL)

*** Tinkerbell .... YOU could call it your Tinkerbell Magical Dust

I could! I had'nt thought of that


I also hate....

- My kitchen!! It has a BLUE TILE bench which is a nightmare to clean. THere are also no drawers in the kitchen!

- My house is ALL wood. From, floor, ceiling and even walls. It reflects everything as orange. I just need some plaster and COLOUR somewhere.

- I have a room next to the kitchen which is simply unuseable and a complete waste of space! It's too small for a table so it just gets everything shoved in it. We're renovating the kitchen soon and pushing it back into that room. YAY for more useable space!

Another really irritating thing about our house is that there is no door on our ensuite. We can't leave our bedroom door open when we have guests (helps us to keep it clean if we have someone able to look in there) if one of us is going to the toilet.

We have tiles through the whole house, even the bedrooms. PITA to have to sweep every day. Would just prefer the dust to settle into some carpet and vacume once a week.

I hate my house. Its too freakin small. Like, its TINY. We are overflowing at the seams and will be even worse when the 3rd bub comes along.

I hate the fact that its old, so there are millions of cobwebs that appear on the walls overnight.

I hate the fact that it is so old there is NO storage, no linen cupboard, no pantry - nothing.

I hate that the backyard really isn't suitable for toddlers. Too many places to fall off from biggish heights.

But I do like my hardwood timber floors

I'll swap you Turkish! Mine's about 10m2 I think?

I don't know what our new one is, but it's going to be so much better laid out!

Our walls The previous owners thought it would be awesome to paint the open-plan living area walls blue and purple and then to match them with blue, purple and silver striped curtains. I feel like I am walking into a nightmare circus tent every morning. In the lounge they thought a mustard feature wall would also be pretty - to go with some red and gold striped curtains. It is all just horrible and it makes our home so dark and makes everything look so small.

It has taken us a year to save up for a house-wide professional paint job and it starts on Thursday! I. CAN'T. WAIT! We are going latte tones with off-white accents. Next project is the candy-striped curtain replacement.

Other than the indoor rainbow nightmare, we love our home

Sambo, you will kick yourself for changing things when Circus-chic comes back in...

I'm so glad you're getting someone to paint that for you!! Sounds like it's going to take a billion coats of paint to get rid of that artwork
Make sure you take some before and after photos!
