It has forced us to make a more concrete plan about when we want to buy a bigger house. Until now it has always been just something that will happen someday.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857533895297228753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093673973512488014.post-86640550006247649132011-07-07T16:10:40.357+10:002011-07-07T16:10:40.357+10:00I see your dilemna Erin, but, if you are looking t...I see your dilemna Erin, but, if you are looking to buy a bigger house in the near future I wouldn't bother upgrading your current kitchen. The next owners might want to renovate it all again anyway if it's not to their liking, then you've gone through that stress and expense for nothing. Just my opinion. We are about to put our house on the market and all the real estate agents we met with said don't bother upgrading the kitchen, carpets, flooring (unless it's a necessity to do them to sell) as potential buyers might not like your renovations anyway and have plans to rip it all up again! :-)Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093673973512488014.post-61097477742351878132011-07-07T12:16:24.895+10:002011-07-07T12:16:24.895+10:00Firstly Erin, I will give you the award for the wo...Firstly Erin, I will give you the award for the worst kitchen, yep. Even worse than mine. Although you have been rather constrained in your depiction of it. Clearly you are lucky to have sound mental health.<br /><br />I hear you on the changes and I hear you on the need to upgrade. it is a bind and an a confusing point for which way to go. There is that fear of biting off too much, as you see others go down when they take the risk. But what is a family to do?<br /><br />I was thinking my little house would be great if we didn't have to live in it. After discussions with intoxicated bike rider friend we decide that some men can't see the house is a workplace for women and things have to work, whether that be the layout or the appliances. They simply have to work. I told my husband that if he had a slow computer at work how could he do his job. Mr Nutshell said that he couldn't. He is the Chief Tech Officer for a 35million online company. he couldn't do his bit could he if his equipment was crap. Well my family is priceless and I've got a house that no longer works for us.<br /><br />People suggest changes, but I think it isn't the changes we need, it won't make more space, it would be over capitalising. I feel the $$ is better spent on the future. Not making it extra nice for the next person. it is pretty good if they have one child, not three.<br /><br />Good luck with your decision. It's annoying when you can see what you want and then have to look at the bigger picture.<br /><br />xxGemma @ My Big Nutshellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251131676081523546noreply@blogger.com
