For me, it would be this:
This is my WHOLE bathroom sink. And I purposely didn't clean it off first because honestly, this is how it usually looks. SO when I'm trying to get ready, like right now when I'm trying to get ready for church, I am constantly knocking things off (usually onto my feet). It makes my process loud and painful. GRR I need more counter space!!!!
SO what would you change in your house if you could?

Ha!! looks like my bathroom sink! Except ours wasnt installed level so things roll off it or get easily knocked off balance and they fall in the sink. Other than that Id change my laundry mountiann in the basement... i hate putting laundry away!!!
I'd change the 80s wood paneling in our den in a heartbeat!
We had that problem in the last house. The whole bathroom was teeny tiny. Do you have one of those shelf units you can put over the toilet with some baskets and things?
Just curious, who are the labels for?
I think if I could change one thing in my house right now I would change the extreme mess that I have made of my husband's "man cave." I have been trying to do a bunch of sewing and have stuff everywhere. I need a bigger craft space, but we just don't have a place to put it.
I'll take the opportunity to answer the question about the shelf-unit...LOL...So Renee, remember when I bought you the really nice shelf unit for over the toilet and cleaned your bathroom and organized everything on the shelves? You should have taken a wider-view shot because they are right there...over to the right...see it?? LOL...what happened to that?
If I could change something in my house, it would be to add a pantry in the kitchen! This is the first house where I didn't have a pantry to put all the food...did they just forget or what?
Love,
Mom
Given the issue with the MIL's lodger I would change our ADDRESS! lol
But, maybe I'd have all the work we intended to do when we bought the house done. We'd not been there long when the mortgage went up and our budgeted money for decorating went to um... pay the mortgage. Ah well...
I'd change my whole house. We have seriously outgrown it.
If I have to stay in this house, though, and just change one thing about it...I'd magically install a full basement. Kids need a playroom. Mommy needs storage. This is what happens when two childless people buy a home and then have two babies within the first two years of living there! I clearly underestimated the need for a full basement!!!
I would change my garage. I clean it...husband messes it up. I would have the mud room/laundry room added along with the utility sink as we had planned when building. Oh well, patience, patience.

Looks like our sink, except without the labels. Um yeah I need to do that again for DJ.
Oh yeah and if I could change anything about this house... more kitchen space. Any more space, because here we have a tiny kitchen! ;)
The house we own, the one we can't sell? If we were to live there again I would change the kitchen (see a theme here?) just the layout of it.
My stinkin' ugly kitchen cabinets. I HATE THEM !!!!!!! And counter top.
My kids' room...it looks like a couple of tornados went through there. 3 times each. I need a super-organizer toy thing/supplies/person. It's all in there because there is NOWHERE ELSE to put it all. On top of that, we're adding another person come December :headdesk:
I would expand my laundry room! The door to the garage and the laundry room door open into each other, there is nowhere to fold the clothes and it's constantly a mess!
Even though we've only been in our house for two years and I picked them when we were building, I would LOVE to NOT have my hardwood floors! They're such a pain to keep clean. I also would have added a MUCH larger laundry room/area.
I would love to have an actually garage and not a car port. I do have 2 huge storage units built into the outside of the house (one in front and one in back)and I have to admit, there is more storage space in those 2 combined then in the 2 car garage in our old house! The carports just look soooo 1980s!
I would have my laundry room on the first floor, I HATE going to the basement to do laundry!
My windows! I hate them. They are heavy and you have to prop them open with a stick, which I'm always afraid the kids will pull out and the window will slam down on them. Plus the screens need to be replaced or recaulked because spiders are always building webs between the window and screen and other bugs are in there too. Yuck.
Oh I love your QOTD!
I would change our kitchen counter tops in a second....then refinish our floors....then change our windows..... (gotta LOVE the 1949 build home!)
our counter tops are ORIGINAL and still function ....sort of.....but that is what I would change!
: )
The toys everywhere? But no! That means the grands are still going to be coming...once the toys are all cleared up that means they're home with their mama full time...
:o(..........
Know that I'm here lifting your family up in prayer!
Hebrews 6:17-20 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Oopsy! The comment for this post is on the post below with the backpacks! Give me a break today! I am in pain! Ugh!
Hmmm, let's see, the garage, the boxes full of junk in my garage, the play area which is also in the lounge, a bigger house
Yeah, that's about how my bathroom looks. Although, I do actually have a huge counter. I just wish everyone would put stuff away instead of making it a catch all for everything. For me having the toothbrushes, toothpaste, and soap out on the counter is enough ;). Makes less for me to move when I clean ;). Honestly, there's so much I would love to change about this house. The wallpaper in the kitchen, or CJ's room that's pealing off or being ripped off by the children. The drop ceilings that trap heat and make my heating bills higher. The ugly fire door that my landlord put on and left the white metal trim exposed on the wood paneling. Oh, the wood paneling that my children get splinters on!!! That's right, my living room is dangerous. Big slivers of wood fall off of it and sometimes into my children. My ugly oragne counters in my kitchen. They are a bright 70's orange. The half finished siding on the back of the house. The rockety old stairs that feel like they are going to fall at any second. The numerous apple trees, pear trees, and cherry trees in our yard that my landlord planted after we moved in giving my children less place to play. The plastic huts he put up as greenhouses by those trees that are just a huge eye sore. Oh, but you only wanted one. You see there are just too many problems with this old 1800's house that we live in and not a single one of them will be addressed by our landlord even though the safety ones we have asked him to fix. Oh and the molding issue by the fire door I asked him to fix when we moved in here nearly four years ago ;).
2 things: second bathroom & a dinning room. We have an eat-in kitchen & 6 people now. I'd for us all to fit at the table.
I wish I had a huge laundry room and another bedroom for guests.
Is your counter always labelled or is that for our benefit?...LOL
I can't see if there is any room next to your sink, but I have room in my guest bathroom for a tv tray. I originally put it there for a little fountain but it ended up being a great place for guests to put their bathroom supplies.
We have a very small bathroom too - with one door to our room and another door to Aleena's room. Oh I would soooo love a master bedroom and bath with a double sink vanity! Are you drooling over that picture, too???
