Our previous, and first, home was a fixer-upper. I swear I will NEVER EVER do that again. We ended up putting about $30,000 into it. I totally adored it though, we put so much time and energy and love into it. But when we started looking for new houses, if I walked into a house and I knew I would have to so much as change the carpet, I wouldn't even put it on the consideration list, lol! The house we just moved into doesn't even need to be painted. I will remove wall paper some time this spring, but it isn't a "I have to do this right now" kind of project.
