According to me home improvement may be done through various things like for exterior have new doors, carpets and man y more. Similarly for interior of our home should try to use carpets, curtains, windows etc.

We are always doing something around our place. Most recently built a real nice fence around the garden to keep the varmints out and did some modifications to the deck. A little interior painting is probably next on the to do list.

What's on your home improvement wishlist & what's the anticipated cost?

on my wishlist is to get this $40 pot rack from Walmart to install on my wall directly above the stove in order to utilize space.

Does a $40 item that you can just go out and buy any day really qualify for a wishlist item?
Shouldn't it be your shopping list instead?

Remodel the master bath and kitchen.

Planning to do the work myself, so it will be material costs only. But, I haven't priced it yet.

We moved into our current home in 2000 and did some minor improvements then, but since then we've done nada.

So...we spent about $50K this last fall and part of the winter doing the following:

- New Hardwood floors throughout downstairs ($$$ expensive)
- Two new sets of patio doors
- New custom kitchen cabinets with inset doors/drawers ($7,000)
- High-end kitchen appliances - Kitchenaid, Bosch, and Bertazonni
- Re-texture and paint entire downstairs
- New kitchen backsplash, new lighting fixtures
- Some other carpentry
- New stack stone fireplace surround
- 8 foot board-on-board privacy fence
- Paint all exterior trim and front door
- New dining table and 8 chairs

We really need about a $8K new HVAC unit and about $8K worth of new windows, plus we'd like to re-landscape the backyard and put a water feature in - probably $10K for all of that.

Maybe next year.
