How would I turn a 3 bedroom into a 4 bedroom?
Comments (29)I know you will hate me for this, but please understand my view point. I am an old house LOVER! I also spent twenty years as a banker trying to talk people into understanding that their future home purchase had to be about love....and practicality. When you are in love with a house you think that the fact that it slapped around the last owners was likely because they were bad owners...they probably deserved it because they didn't do the maintenance you would do to keep it in check. You justify the little issues like the third eye as something minor instead of realizing that a third eye is not actually a normal thing and will require some seriously expensive custom lenses. You turn a wet basement into a couple puddles.... Ten years,..no lets make it five if you get the house....if you find that my pessimistic attitude was totally incorrect and your home turned out to be perfect beyond compare...please tell me I am wrong so I can learn a lesson. But if on the other hand my gazillion years of trying to make people understand that they should buy a home they love....but should equally involve their brains and heart in the equation turns out to make some sense in your potential chris brown like situation.....well be sure to share that valuable experience as well so that others can learn from you...and make light of your experience because "that will never happen to them". I tried to buy the egg and I farm as a young wife ohhhhh so many years ago thinking that a house with walls falling down and a tree growing in the living room just needed our tender and inexperienced care to bring it back.....the bank laughed...thank god!...See MoreDecor Bedroom issues. What do I do?
Comments (15)My bed is black I’m sorry the pictures are not the best quality. I am actually planning on putting an area rug between the bed and dresser as well. Also my budget would probably be less than 400 for the dresser. I have never seen the spine book shelf but I will definitely consider it. Not sure if room will allow it though...See MoreResell value go up or down if I convert 5 bedroom into 4 bedroom?
Comments (17)qam999, I just looked up market info for my first house. It was in Sunnyvale, about a 5 minute or less walk north of Apple's flying saucer. Like much of Sunnyvale, it's in a neighborhood of tract houses from the late 50s-early 60s. 1300 sq feet, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, on a lot of 6500 sq feet. The Zillow estimate is $2.1 million. There are some slightly larger houses on the street, some 4 bedroom, they're more expensive. Master suite? Ha, I recall the bedrooms were 12x12 at best or less. Owners of such places wanting more space sometimes build a second floor for a master bedroom or family room over the attached garage. Or, convert the garage to living space. Of course there are a lot of multigenerational families in the area, typically folks who are Asian immigrants to Silicon Valley. A lot of the existing housing stock, is small in size. The older tract neighborhoods and other places are like that, with older homes (I'm thinking like the Rose Garden or Willow Glen in SJ). Like much of Sunnyvale, they don't easily accommodate middle class extended families needing many bedrooms but the houses have no problem maintaining ever-skyrocketing values because of their close-in locations. In those areas, with older homes, often the only solution is to add space or knock down and rebuild but many families may want to find something ready for move-in. And lots are often small. As you know, many such families are in places like the Fremont area, etc., where the housing tracts homes are newer and larger. In the older areas, where lot space allows, some build granny flats. The Bay Area is quite different from other places, different from even other parts of California....See MoreHow do I finish the window treatments in my small bedroom?
Comments (2)I would do Faux Roman Shades. Because the windows are short I would hang the rod 1/3 of the way down from the ceiling and have them long enough to come down the top of the glass. The room and windows is too small for properly hung panels/ Check etsy for great fabric ideas...See Morefoggyj2
