[quote=Anonymous]A lot of this thread resonates with me! Like one PP, I am like a plant who needs the sun, so maximizing light in our rowhome is critical, and I'm thinking of repainting our living/dining room white to help. Like others, lack of foyers, hallways, built in storage, and closets makes it hard to get stuff out of the way and feeling peaceful, even though i bought a beautiful bureau to store some stuff in in the living room.

But I think the biggest thing is that I can imagine ways to fix the issues and make it more homey, but we just don't have the time to DIY or money to hire it out right now. I want a finished space with tons of bright art and family photos and bookshelves, but the bookshelves are a MAJOR project that we have to do before we can finish decorating, and its really hard to even find time to paint or fix the crappy DIYs of the previous owner. We're both working and our youngest is in that always sick stage in day care, so we're often making up work at night and don't have local friends or family to help on weekends.

I would have preferred an "easier" house, and OP, congrats on finding one! For me, its an open question whether we'll make this house a home before we can afford to move...both feel years away!  [/quote]
