Would there be room for a shower and the washer/drier in your guest bathroom where the bath was?

Probably have the whole interior painted ......... but what I'd really like to do, is take out all the grass and borders in my garden and replace it with artificial turf. Tacky, I know but so much less work. I don't think it would cost mire than £2000......my garden is small.

I'd get all the blinking wood chip wallpaper removed from the stairs and landings. We've done all the rooms but these are still to do - such a horrible job in a 4 storey house, lots of stairs and landings!. -

I wouldn't be using it to turn a bathroom into a laundry room! Why not buy a better quality washer-dryer? The pricier ones are usually quieter.

I'd put £2000 towards updating my kitchen.

I would take out the bath as it has high sides and use the same space for a shower with sliding doors, being mindful of potential mobility issues looking ahead. And of course the area would then need tiling. Try to match them up or not would be the major decision!

I don't know what it would cost but I'd get it decorated nicely with a better stair carpet and a built-in cupboard in the spare bedroom. It needs a face lift more than anything drastic.

What horrible rainy weather! I’m sitting here, glass of wine in hand, contemplating putting a load of washing on. If I do, I will have to tumble dry it. The washer-dryer is in the kitchen end of my apartment living room, and it makes a lot of noise. So, I am thinking of taking out the bath in my guest bathroom, leaving the loo and washbasin in there, and turning it into a laundry room. This would would also give me an extra cupboard in the kitchen. If you had £2000 to spend on your house, what would you do?
