what do you want in your current home that you dont already have?

[LauraSmeth]

a pool table

Curtains (just moved in...)
Everything else is perfect

Underfloor heating. It was only two years old when we bought it and I can’t understand why the very fussy couple who built it didn’t put it in. It has all sorts of luxury bits and bobs, some fairly useless, but not that.

A second toilet, a dormer to give us some ceiling height upstairs (pitched roofs in bedrooms), and some patio doors in a new kitchen. Sadly the renovations are on hold as the priority now is to have the money together to clear the mortgage when the current fixed term ends (18 months).

A kryton from red dwarf.

In more realistic terms a sauna.

Boot room with dog washer

@Cornflowers35

fo you own the house?

if so, what's stopping you getting one out in?

stud wall & door shouldn't cost a lot?

Swimming pool

A south-west facing garden!

@Coyoacan an hour?!?!

No bloody way! I'd be telling the one in there to shut it get off the pot!!

Walk-in wardrobe
Japanese toilets
Walk-in kitchen pantry
laundry room large enough for clothing rails and keeping the ironing board out permanently
double shower in en-suite
coffee making alcove with fridge in the main bedroom
patio outside my bedroom
Japanese sliding doors throughout
living wall planted with orchids and ferns, in the living room

Right now I wish I had under floor insulation because it's freezing downstairs, except in the sitting room which has a real wool carpet. And an upgrade on the front windows with 1980s double glazing that is less effective than the interlined curtains we had in our old house.

If it wasn't winter I'd want DH to have an office he actually worked in instead of him leaving his work stuff in the kitchen.

A utility room

Masses and masses of storage

A downstairs playroom

Home offices each for me and DH so we aren’t squeezed into the corners of other rooms

A proper garden

My mum to look after me!

Builders to actually finish the work they are doing and fuck off (we are 5 months into a 6 week project…)

We're renting but I'd love to be able to fit a proper door between the garage and kitchen, the draught is freezing and costs us a lot in heating.

More walls as the downstairs is open plan and it's so cold and hard to heat.

A more efficient boiler, ours is more than 15 years old.

I'd love to be allowed to paint the walls.

And a sofa.

Upstairs toilet / bathroom

A bug radiator in the dining room and kitchen. For some reason the last owners put ELECTRIC underfloor heating in the dining room and a tiny radiator at the end of the long galley kitchen it's joined to. We close the door to the living room and get the fire going in the evenings but I'd like to be able to sit in the other rooms during the evening. Upstairs is warm but the downstairs is cold 24/7 in winter. The underfloor heating is strictly for when guests are here.

Double glazing
Carpets upstairs (previous owners laid laminate flooring in the bedrooms. Yuk.)
Built in bookshelves

An enclosed porch, they keep the heat in. We had one on a previous house, the hall stayed much warmer.
A decent shed, we have an old coal shed, too small.

Warmth

Porch with a fancy shoe/bench/coathanger thing.

A posh floor-to-ceiling cupboard/shelving pantry thing in my kitchen.

Better size 3rd bedroom for ds2.

New, well, everything really. Updated furniture, oven and hob, vacuum, better dishwasher, some flooring needs replacing.

More intelligent cats.

Heating that worked with a timer.

A dressing room

A view.

A bathroom that fits a shower and a bath in, not just one or the other.
Wider kitchen that can accommodate an island.

More outrageous wants are:
Pool table, juke box, bar room.
A workshop to tinker around and do DIY in even though I'm a woman

I'd kill for a dishwasher!

2nd loo
Utility room (or alternatively a washing machine that's actually in the house rather than in the garage)
Warmth

A bigger non overlooked garden (impossible)
Double glazing (working on it)
Air conditioning (am conflicted)
