By reading this post and the other post you made, I see you havent moved into this house yet. My suggestion is to do absolutely nothing for a while (except paint, if you need to), until you have lived there a while. What you think you want now, may be something you will hate later. Its always best to learn how the house lives, before you make some of the major changes you are thinking of. Remodeling is very expensive, and since you havent lived with what is there yet, you really do not know how the house lives, and what will be important to change in the future. Give yourself 6 months to 1 yr, just doing repainting and getting settled in and using things. Your house looks to be in very good condition, and is a very nice house. Get to know it before you remodel something, that you may wish you hadnt later, or may not like, once you live with it.
