Remodelling a room/area of your home?
Gigi M. (Az-USA)25-Aug-22
If you had a choice to remodel any room in your home with no expense spared, which room or area would you remodel? Even if you rent and can't just change a room, forget about that and choose anyhow.

            well A, lets discuss this not a discussion, i think if the author just left off the question mark, then we would have a discussion, but i reckon we are stuck in limbo with this one, do you think rewardia will give us more points fro answering a question instead of discussing,, or will Mr Turtle down by the well, discuss it with Mr Rabbit who is taking a shit,, i just don't know A ;-))

                        oh I think I am mistaken. You said a room in your garage, not the garage itself? I've never seen a garage that had a room inside of it. It's like a "two-for". That's interesting.

                      We are going to remodel our kitchen soon but if you had to ask my wife this question she will say the whole house. Which will be very expensive like our kitchen already is way above our budget and we are only in planning stages at the moment.

                            If the criteria is no expense spared the majority are going to select kitchen or bathroom(s) as these are what most would want changed if money is no object. The kitchen is probably the area where a renovation is going to have the greatest effect.

                                          I think at these days it probably is easier to remodel or renovate and it probably is cheaper than to go out and buy a new place altogether.

                                            Ours is 75 years old. Always wished I had added a verandah where we could sit on hot days and have windows that you can open floor to ceiling depending on the time of year to look out on the garden.

                                                          We are redoing all the house, added a new kitchen, master with an en suite ,walk in robe, an office. The old kitchen will become a bedroom, the old bathroom will become a bedroom and in the middle a laundry/ bathroom for guests and visitors. Lounge will be sort of the same but we will put in new windows and better lighting and a split air con. New tanks, need to move hot water system and pump. Pump will be in a cupboard for easy accessible. More concrete and a whole lot of money and labour. At least we don't have to pay for the labour because hubby is doing most himself except plumbing and sparky work.

                                                                Well I rent, so it's not feasible, but the question was if you could do it with no constraints so I'd do my bedroom. Have the bedroom, then add a seperate area for a lounge chair to read and have like a two in one room, where I could watch tv, but not be on or in bed to do so. And I changed Gigi to gmf, so it's me that's answering you. Thank u for asking.

If I had to choose one room it would be the back room as it needs plastering finished ( will have to be completely stripped and redone as it was never finished), painting and fitting out with decent furniture.

Make room for the appliances to be easily accesible and room for the pots so that I don't have to remove several of them to get the one that I want. Reducing the number of pots that I have would probably be a good start.

The ensuite is a small room accessed off of the main bedroom - it has a toilet, shower and hand basin in it. Basically it is a small bathroom especially for the use of the person/people who have the main or master bedroom.

Already have insulation in the walls and ceiling and upgrading the windows would further reduce the cost of temperature control inside the house.

It'd be lovely to have a comfy recliner or daybed in the studio near a sunny window in case i wish to lie down for a while and think of what i want to do next. It doesn't have to be big either, something cosy would be perfect.
