Agreed. Most of our home had the original 2005 builder paint color of a muted tan/yellow. Overall not bad, but just too much throughout the house, so we replaced most of it with an off-white, a grey/blue, or gray in a few bedrooms. Only other major project is to replace carpet. Paint and carpet (or hardwood refinishing, in your case) make a YUGE difference.
Our previous owners also had some really heavy drapes that we tore down. Beautiful windows behind it, many with trees outside, so we didn't need the shade the curtains provided.

Don't use wallpaper
It might seem cool or fun or trendsetting or artistic
But it is nothing but trouble
Just don't

Hell, no. My parents had it up, but mostly because the walls were shot.
We have pink paper from the 80's or 90's up in one of the rooms. What a PITA it's going to be taking it down. Thankfully, it's the room Mrs. Phibes has designated as her 'crafting space'.

We got tile for our patio. I did all the work myself. Drove to the bank, withdrew cash, then used some good ol’ elbow grease to place that cash into the hands of a handyman. I think it turned out great, if I do say so myself.

Thanks! We also put in an ostentatious chandelier, as befits an ostentatious person such as myself. The entryway needs a lot more work though. We have a console table coming from Etsy which is very beautiful. Then we need to put stuff on the walls.

A framed TNCR POTD collection would look nice there.

Of the zero things I make her do, that's not one of them.

Speaking of joinery, we got an entryway table where the joinery is a central part of the look. The pieces just slide together without fasteners. Not appropriate for rooms where the furniture is upside down and bolted to the ceiling. We tried it in the upside down room first, and they will be hearing from our lawyers.
