Our house is a state. It's better than when we bought it as we have done a bit of painting and got a couple of carpets given.
It needs totally replastering, the walls are horrendous (we pulled ancient ancient woodchip off). The woodwork and doors all need sanding and repainting. Is there any point starting to do that before it's been replastered?
A couple of the carpets are terrible, they depress me. So old and marked. We used to put rugs down but have a toddler and they just get in the way. Ditto curtains, but the windows are huge and the curtain tracks are so old they're obsolete.
We don't have any spare money, we are still paying back the loan for the windows and the boiler. We don't have a lot of time either, both work and study and don't have a lot of babysitting.
Everyone's house is nicer than ours it seems! I am sick of feeling blue about it, what could we do that is very cheap, very easy and very quick that would make it look a bit nicer over the next few years while we save up for the plastering and new stuff?
Would love to hear your suggestions :)
