My Ultimate Reno-cation?

I entered and spent a few moments dreaming about my ultimate reno-cation.  We live in a newer home so there aren’t a lot of biggie renovations but I do have a list :)

  • My number one thing? Paint. I would love to have the interior painted. We have builders paint in our home which means it shows everything and you can’t watch it. I have one spot where there was a chocolate milk splatter and I made the mistake of trying to wash it and now it looks worse than before. Anyhooo…
  • In my apartment before getting married, I had a larger kitchen that had drawers. Wonderful big drawers for pots, bowls etc. I would love some drawers in the kitchen.
  • I would love an in-counter sink where there is no lip on the counter. I saw one once and it looked so clean looking.
  • Our upstairs is quite cold in the winter. I’d love a fireplace in the master bedroom.
  • I don’t know if back yards count but I would love to have a tree. New subdivisions = no trees :(
  • The vacation part? A Caribbean cruise sounds lovely, we’ve never been anywhere warm and beachy. Not that it is a great hardship but it would be fun. It’s only for two though; not sure if I’d want to leave Chloe and John at home just yet. I’d have to give it some thought. Perhaps my dad and I could go and DH could stay home with the littles LOL. Dad likes snorkeling and such. We’d have a blast!

    Thanks for the great giveaway! My ultimate renocation would be to repaint the bathroom and living room and add a few pictures or stuff to decorate and then I would go to Hawaii!

    Hmm, well I have a big list – granite countertops in the kitchen, hardwood flooring upstairs, cabinets in the laundry room, a built-in for our media stuff in the great room, new light fixtures (we still have the ugly builder basic ones).

    As for a vacation, I’ve always wanted to go to Italy, and my poor husband’s never been to Europe at all. That would be our dream destination!

    I would love to re do our laundry room. Right now it’s just a washer and dryer stacked on top of each other. I can’t even get everything out of the dryer without a stool or a little hop. I want a counter and unstacked appliances and some cupboards for storage, and a rack to hang my ironing board and iron! A girl can dream.

    I already submitted my Reno-cation dream, but it’s not showing up… here it is again:

    I think I’d redo my bathrooms… I hate them! The people who lived here before me did such a terrible job. I think they closed their eyes, spun around, and threw grout and tiles randomly!

    As to where I’d go, my favourite place on earth is Niagara Falls. My very first “grown-up” vacation, planed by myself, was to Niagara, so it holds a special place in my heart.

    My list of priorities includes:
    -a second full bath in our basement
    -dry-walling and painting in our rec room
    -new carpet in both our main floor bedrooms
    -new carpet in our basement (rec-room and 3rd bedroom)
    -a new front door (does this count as a renovation?) :D
    -a new fence
    Edit
    I just remembered another two items on my reno-cation wishlist:
    -new kitchen appliances (specifically a range and a new refrigerator)
    -a new countertop

    I’d also love to put some money towards our upcoming honeymoon (right now we are considering a cruise)
