[quote=Anonymous]OP, I feel you. I think you can DIY a lot of this stuff! Have you watched Rental Redo on Magnolia Network? It's all about cost-effective improvements that you can easily make. Watch some videos, pick up a paintbrush, it really isn't so hard. A project will help you with your frustration!

The shutters for example, you can strip and re-paint yourself. It's a bit tedious but it isn't difficult.

For the kitchen, lay some tile over the tile you have. Stick-on tile. https://thepageedit.com/how-we-transformed-our-kitchen-with-peel-stick-tile/

Rent an upholstery cleaner at Home Depot and steam clean all the furniture. It will look much better. Try rearranging the furniture a bit for a fresh look. You can get a lot of free stuff on Buy Nothing groups, which you can paint or restore.

For money, go through all your clothes and stuff, and sell whatever you can on Poshmark. Sell anything in the house that you can. You'll feel so much better with less clutter. Get your DH to agree to a certain amount per month to spend on home maintenance (don't call it "improvement" or "decorating"), and invest that into the things that bother you the most.[/quote]
