    I bought a house built in 1979 and never renovated – drop ceilings in every room, wallpaper, and carpet that used to be pink. I replaced everything - ceilings, walls, and floors. I even had to replace structural elements because the termite damage turned out to have been “repaired”.

    I dared not touch a single thing in the kitchen.

      Going a bit off topic, I know they are out of date but I always wanted one of those “conversation nooks” you see in 60s and 70s movies - any chance you got one?

      I also cleaned my mates carpet as a house warming present when they moved in. Turns out the grey carpet was actually a nice blue.
