[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of what you describe sounds like something a frugal person would change, OP.

My kitchen was remodeled in 1993.  I like it fine, Cherry and all.  Some of my bathrooms are original from 1969 when my house was built.  I have no plans to remodel anything except a deck that is definitely on its last legs.

If you love your house, why change anything?[/quote]

Lol you can love your house and want to change things.  I consider myself frugal and I don’t think the occasional cosmetic upgrade is some hedonistic luxury that is going to break the bank.  I painted my kitchen island for example because I thought it looked like a sad builder grade thing.  Its very cute now and It’s held up for years even though I did it myself, which was how I saved money on it.  My cabinets are all looking a little haggard at this point and I am considering painting all of them, even if it only adds a few years to my kitchens “lifespan.”

Living in a space that you refuse to add your own touch to because it would cost money and just being unhappy with it is not frugal, it’s just cheap.[/quote]
