Soon I can finally begin the process of making this house my own. It's completely livable - but not very pretty yet. All of the rooms and trim needs to be painted, and the floors need to be refinished. Also, the first floor bathroom and bedroom doors need to be rehung. These are the photos from my home inspection:
Front Yard/Porch
To Do: Remove the awnings, pull down the bushes, dress up the porch
Living Room
To do: Paint, dress up the fireplace, replace the window treatments and light fixtures
Hallway
To do: Definitely paint, maybe update the light?
Kitchen
To do: Paint, add a dishwasher and garbage disposal, add more storage, maybe remove the soffits?
Dining Room
To do: Paint, change the light fixture, maybe built-ins around the window?
Master Bedroom
To do: Paint, add window treatments, fix up the closet
Bedroom 2
To do: More paint, more closet fix-ups
Downstairs Bathroom
To do: Replace the walk-in (handicap) shower, replace the masonite walls and dated tile, change the window treatments, mirror, and fluorescent light fixture
Stairway and Upstairs Hallway
To do: More paint, remove the carpet from the stairs, change the linoleum hallway floors, maybe tear down one wall into a half-wall
Bedroom 3
To do: Paint, replace the carpet
Bedroom 4
To do: Paint, replace the carpet
Bedroom 5

(Hi Mom!)
To do: Remove the awnings, remove the outdoor carpet on the small porch, maybe eventually a deck or patio?
Carport
