Ebse, the den is a must-have. I actually didn't care if the house I found had a formal dining room if there was an eat-in kitchen, or if it didn't have a den and had a dining room I could convert to a den, I just wanted a den. The den is too big to lose to being more kitchen, it's 15x16 if I remember correctly. It's going to be just the two of us, and this one of us is usually banned from the kitchen when it comes to the cooking, so we really don't need so a huge kitchen, just more cabinets and draw space for much needed "stuff" eandhl, I'd consider it an eat-in kitchen - the people have that oblong table and hutch. I have a table that seats 6 now, but would definitely get rid of it and have something small for just the two of us which I could open up with a leaf for 3-4 people. Since there's a formal dining room, any more than 4 people, we can eat in there. I may take my hutch with me, have too many collectibles in there not to have it, but then again, I could put that in the dining room and just have a table in the kitchen. diwoman1, the laundry room is very small, the washer dryer on that one wall, on the wall opposite from them, to the right of the door opening going in to the laudnry room, there's a tall bank of cabinets - good for storage/pantry if needed. On the two other walls, there's one window and the other wall is actually the door, leading to the garage. Within the garage is a storage room. I thought maybe I could put the washer/dryer in there, but it really doesn't help me much as that laundry room wouldn't work for much more than a pantry, or mudroom. I was thinking about trying to get a stacking washer/dryer and put it on the right side, and make a bench/coat rack on the left. Fori, the cabinets are just old wood cabinets that she's repainted. I even thought about refacing instead of replacing if possible. The kitchen isn't bad at all, I can definitely live with it for a while, but it's not "me" and I really want to update it, but it's livable the way it is now, at least for the time being. I will actually have the luxury of doing what I need to do before we totally move in - this is if we are lucky enough to get the house. It will be a slow move - DH has to get a transfer, so he'll stay here while I start moving stuff up there. I'll probably tackle the master bathroom first, out of the 4 areas I want to update, that's going to be the one that bothers me the most - this will be second - and besides, the bathroom is soooo tiny, it will be easier and faster to do that one first, or so I hope. Thanks to all who've replied thus far - hoping more will do so too!

OP, I hope you aren't trying to choose the color based on the monitor colors. You need to get out a board and paint it with the sample to see it in your light in the space. What works on the monitor may not work in your space IRL. Also, was this always a fix and flip or did you intend to stay awhile? I say that because you are selling your first home in less than a year and it is difficult to make a profit with the transaction fees of buying and selling in less than a year unless you purchased for a very low price. I am suggesting that you be very cautious with your selections if the intent is to wow the future buyer into paying substantially more for the house you purchased a few months ago. Keep accurate records because the new appraiser for the new buyers lender may want to see the rehab figures. JME. Edit: The kitchen appliances really stick out like sore thumbs and that might be one of the best returns on your money - replace the appliances with appropriately sized and SS appliances. Have the Refrigerator look built in rather than a huge mass popping out of its space. These types of changes are relatively inexpensive along with removing the scallop trim piece and painting the walls. I'm not sure you will get your money back on painting the cabinets, depends on your comps for the neighborhood and your original purchase price.

I think people are gonna want to see more of your room/style!

I would extend the concrete landing all the way to the edge of the left window and then have the step going the full length of that facing front. Then run the railing down the left side of the landing and steps. In order to meet building code, your landing should be a minimum of 36x36.
