The biggest issue was our master bedroom, it was completely utilitarian, and while functional...very boring too. So I made a new closet for me (4x 9 ft), keeping her closet entirely for her and her shoes (12 x 8 ft). Then we removed a exterior door, and two windows. Behind one, I built a new headboard, then built (2) matching bedside tables, all in barn-wood. Then Katie added some new lamps, and lights over the bed for reading. Finally we added a new 6 foot patio door where a former window was. So I think that greatly improved our bedroom. If nothing else, our cat likes the bedroom more now!
That took me 8 days to do, and cost about $1550 with the door, lamps, etc.
Then I turned my attention to the main bathroom.
We only have 2 bathrooms here, so we decided to rip out a single sink and vanity, and I built a new double vanity instead. Our house is a timber frame, so we like the rustic look, so I built a vanity to match, then ripped out the drywall and put in shiplapped boards instead. Redid the drains so that I had two instead of one, then added old fashioned gate valve faucets. So now (2) teenaged daughters can use the bathroom at once.
That took 4 days, and cost $850...
You guys can be the judge on whether it was worth it or not, and if you like the home improvements.
