[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Subway tiles - I hate them
Bathrooms without a bathtub
Bathrooms with a pedestal sink (where do you put the tampons and extra roll of toilet paper, if not under the sink?!)
A staircase when you first walk into the front door - it feels very confrontational and aggressive to me

Big hallways (I'd rather that square footage be in rooms)
Lack of closets[/quote]

My parents bought their house in 78, so for 40 years our basement had that dark, hideous, stereotypically dated 70's wood paneling on every single inch of every single wall on that basement.  This of course made the room feel extraordinarily small and almost claustrophobic.

Before they passed away, my parents decided that they were done with NY winters and that they wanted to live out their remaining years in Florida.  So their realtor gave them some tips and pointers to get the house ready for sale.  
One of them was to obviously paint that wood paneling, and not just paint it, but paint it like stark white (plus, replace the dropped ceiling that was that horrible popcorn style).

OH MY GOD!  
It looked freaking PHENOMENAL! 
It was so much better -- more open, airy, bright and vibrant.  It made the room look huge and you'd never guess it was the same room... all for less than $300.

I only wish they'd done it 30 years earlier when I lived there, lol.
