A Soaker Tub. You know you want one anyway. You... a candle (safely-lit of course)... your favorite book and a glass of chilled vino. You so fancy. Plus it adds value!

Recessed lighting. I put these in myself in my house. Note to self: hire someone next time.

Ranch. Stock the fridge. That's the first place my mind went - dressing. Ranches are easier on the knees due to their lack of stairs. Sooooo... remove that second floor maybe? lol

Fresh paint. It's HGTV 101.

Large living room. Because who really puts "teeny tiny living room" on their new home wish list? I love visitors but I don't need them sitting on my lap.

New kitchen. You knew that was coming, huh? Goodbye $70,000... but hopefully you'll make it back and then some.

Breakfast bar. We put one in our old house.... then never hung out anywhere else pretty much ever. Also we're not fancy so we called it "an island."

Storage area. There's gotta be someplace to store all your shhhhhhhhtuff. That's what I was going to say. Shtuff. Yeah.
