[quote=Anonymous]The windows sound like they would be a good investment, plus maybe also better curtains?

I would also go to Ikea and just get a bunch of storage things (like maybe a row of the billy units with doors or something) that you can put into some of the open space.  Or, if you have more money, hire a contractor to just build in a wall of storage cabinets.  There's no such thing as too much storage/closet space.

And, if you haven't already, paint.  I sort of hated our house when I moved it, but realized a lot of it was that the realtor had made them paint the whole damn house in neutrals tans and browns and it was super depressing.  I painted everything over in cream and sky blue, which for me is very calming and uplifting, and immediately liked the house twice as much.  Same for adding art that you like -- even if it's cheap art -- just adding colors or things that you love will make you feel better about the house.

And remind yourself nothign is ever perfect.  Our house is sort of stupidly designed but I love the kitchen table area (that looks out onto backyard), love the street we are on, and there are certain other little things that I love, so I just shake my head at some of the dumb things and live with them.
