Are you planning on staying put for a few years?  Forget for a moment everything you have heard about buying, remodeling and decorating, with resale in mind.  For a while the real estate market was looking pretty grim, and the ability to sell homes became extremely hard.  Today it seems that things are returning to normal and people seem to be making long-term commitments to homes once again. Once you begin to view your home in this way the possibilities for personal expression and customization can be endless.  Here are a few tips to completely personalize your home:
  1.  Remove a bedroom:  Many people have an extra bedroom that they simply do not use.  It looks good on paper and can add value to your house, but if you plan on staying you are wasting useful space.
  2. Indulge yourself with something wild:  If there is something you have always wanted even as a child, indulge yourself.  For example give yourself an indoor slide or fire pole.
  3. Accommodate your pets:  Pets can be your best friends, if they live with you, they are in your home more than you are.  Cater to them, add pet doors, cat ramps etc. to entertain your furry friend.
  4. Make bold decorating decisions:  Don't limit yourself in your decorating decisions.  If you love vibrant colors, apply them to your walls and furniture. 
  5. Rethink your spaces:  If you never use a formal dining room, take it over and put in something you will get more use out of, like an art studio, library or office.
