So when you are ready to move to your new home...
Comments (18)I second getting the floors done before you move in. I wish we had done that in our tv room. The carpeting is 10 year old builder's grade stuff with a couple stains on it. We didn't care when we bought because we knew we'd be upgrading the carpet in a couple years once are kids are less likely to spill stuff on it. Well, now we have a HUGE entertainment center with a projection tv in that room, and there's no WAY that thing will be moving anytime soon. Which means no redoing that carpet until we move out of the house. Fortunately, we can recarpet the stairs and second floor (which is that same 10 year old builder's grade), and figure we'll just give a carpet allowance for the TV room to the buyers we sell to in the future. As for paint, I recommend waiting until you are in the house. In our old house, we lived with the nasty wallpaper until we decided what we wanted to do in each room, and then we tackled stripping the wallpaper and painting. We did a room every few months until it was all done....See MoreHome exterior design recommendations?
Comments (6)Thanks for the advice so far. I agree about DIYing, and that a change in the porch would be great. However, there are a few issues with making changes, so if you remodeling-minded folks have some suggests I would appreciate it so much. I apologize for describing this in probably a sub-par way, but hopefully you can understand what I'm about to say... The big problem we see with taking down the porch wall and replacing it with railing is that the porch wall has a depth to it (maybe, say 6-8 inches). When we take out the wall, there will be an area that will not have the trex flooring on it. Now, for the front wall that is not a huge issue because it is probably the right depth to simply add another row of trex. That is no problem IF we can find trex that matches the one we have now (which I'm not sure we could). But when the SIDE WALLS come down, there will be 6-8 inches of EACH row missing trex. If I simply cut that length of trex and put it down in the spot where the wall was, there will be an awkward "seam" of new short trex pieces. Of course I could rip out all of the flooring and start over which would alleviate this problem, but the flooring is only a few years old and I assume that would be expensive. Any thoughts on how I could do this and make it look good? Am I missing a simple solution? (I don't have much of any reno experience!)

Comments (15)Gosh when we did our new home 2 years ago I had the same issue here and there. We did not use a designer and I made most of the decisions by myself. I don't think I used any ONE way to come to an answer. Most often I looked back over my inspiration pics to remind myself of my original plan, bc it is so easy to get sucked into another look you like and go off in a different direction you may regret later. If some inspo pics were different then I tried to narrow them to 2 or 3 and just decide which one I liked best. Sometimes I made myself little mockups in powerpoint or a photo editor app to get a visual of some options. Sometimes, with selections like wood floor stain or grout color, I had my contractor make up mini versions so I could actually see the results in person. My hallway had several areas of different stains. I had the tile guy make a few small boards with tiles and different grout colors so I could see them, hold them up, etc. And when I just couldn't select "the perfect one" I did as Patricia said and I kept it simple. I do have a few regrets, but they are minor in the whole scheme of things. Also, it helped to not look at what other people are doing/did that wasn't really even a look I was going for or could afford....See MoreRelated Professionals
