[quote=Anonymous]Got a quote around $12k to do a built-in wall for the dining room, which would add tons of much needed storage -- includes bookshelves and cupboard storage and a couple glass display cabinets -- plus paint and new woodwork all around in a room we use for pretty much all three meals on the weekends. House is worth $900k. Would you do this? DH thinks it's not a good investment. Thinks we can just buy a decent sideboard and be done. I think this would be maximum use of space and major upgrade overall. It's not a forever home, but was original 1960s everything when we got it and we've upgraded the electrical, kitchen, baths, closets and more and made it really comfortable in here. But we'll probably move away from DC in 5-10 years (we've been in this house 5 years already without any real dining room furniture), and the hvac and water heaters are 15-20 years old so other things may need to be done. I'm torn.[/quote]
