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!

  1. 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!

  2. 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!

  3. 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’m a subscriber via google reader and a facebook fan too.

  4. I would love to redo our livingroom for our renocation and make it into the beautiful room I know it could be instead of the drab and horrible room that currently sucks the life out of me!
    I would take my son to Disney! Thats where I would vacation.

  5. I would love to have a larger bathroom. As far a a vacation anywhere would be great, especially where you can enjoy the sun.
    I am a facebook fan and I also subscribe via email.

  6. My son is growing up and I’d love for him to have his own room. We have a spare room which is a disaster right now. I would love to paint it and get some proper furniture.

  7. My ultimate renovation would be the following:
    – tear down the house and rebuild! nah, j/k
    1. Put new siding on the house
    2. Put in new windows and add a few more
    3. Create a bathroom just for me….a little whirlpool jet tub, sauna and heat lights….ahhhhh…put a little wine bar and a man servant in there….

  8. I would redo the main bathroom with a large soaker tub and heated ceramic floor and then travel to Peru or Argentina.

  9. 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.

  10. With $13,000 I’d replace my flooring both on the main floor and upstairs. Always wanted bamboo! Then I’d have the house painted from top to bottom!
    If I could go on a trip, I’d go to California for sure. Hello Beach!

  11. I would reno my living room and then go to Costa Rica to relax!

  12. I would love to finish my basement, making a nice TV and game room with a wood stove in that room. Nice and warm in the Winters and cool in the Summers 🙂

  13. I have had a busy night! I have subscribed to your blog, entered the reno-cation contest, and will tell you what I would like to Renovate and travel too!

    I would renovate my laundry hall! I currently have my laundry room in a hallway and would either like to make it bigger (with a much bigger reno) or at least make it efficient, with a better effeciency Washer/dryer, storage, and a nice place to take care of my family!

    I would lovet to travel to a couple places! My family would love to go to Disneyland again and I would love to go back to southern Ontario to visit again! Beautiful area—–maybe I would buy an old abandoned farmhouse and renovate that!LOL My dream!

  14. I think I’d redo my painting… I hate what i have! The people who lived here before me did such a terrible job.

    As to where I’d go, my favourite place on earth is Hawaii.

  15. I would redo our floors and put in new windows. Then i would jump on a crusie!

  18. I’d love to fix up our sauna (it needs a new chimney) and then go to Finland to see where they originated.

  19. I would love to add a much needed second bathroom to our house

  20. I would love to redo the bathrooms with a sunken tub and walk in showers. Of course, the upstairs could use new hardwood floors. and of course, I will go to Bermuda or Aruba!

  21. 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?) 😀
    -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)
