STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

Let's pretend you had to spend $1000 on your home:

sweater girl · BCBG

I wold use it towards hiring a carpenter to build a custom built-in bookshelf for my bedroom and a banquette for the dining area.

Cortney1982 · Chanel

Right now, I need new bathroom fixtures, lights, and mirrors before I can finish painting it. That would take at least $400 of it.

The rest would be spent for outside. I'm interested in purchasing a reel mower. No gas or electricity, plus it cuts grass better! We need new patio furniture cushions since the puppy has destroyed 1 and the rest are dirty. I also need to put in some new plants and rubber mulch to keep the weeds from growing.

I have a spare bedroom with dreadful carpet. I wish I could express how horrible it is. It's like, blue and green and grey all mashed together and put on a shag rug. AHHHHHH!

I will be replacing that this fall, after my parents' new house is finished and they can quit storing my late grandparents' dining room set and other junk in there. And then I'm going to make it a library, so I would spend the rest of the $$ on bookshelves

(ETA I'm saying this all without knowing how much it takes to recarpet a room, because I've never had to do it beore

)

Patio furniture!

NCshopper · Hermes

I'd add in a big bay window in our master bedroom so we can have a view of our wooded backyard.

Either that or get rid of the 27 year old carpeting that's in half our house. UGH!

greendiamond · Marc Jacobs

Some new moulding and a new vegetable garden with nice paver stones around it.

hotcocoa · Kate Spade

i'd splurge on the george nelson sunflower clock. i've been wanting it since the beginning of time (haha)

I would finish decorating my guest room. It needs a small dresser or cabinet, some window treatments, and accessories.

Sibeski · Dooney & Bourke

Our pool will be done soon so I would choose patio furniture. I have to say, the clock is one of the most beautiful pieces I have seen!

ohh, 1000 isn't much... I'd either do something practical like fix the hole in the guest room ceiling (oops!) or put down wood (laminate?) floors in the upstairs hallway.... or I'd head to a gallery downtown and splurge on a fantastic piece of art for the living room.

mikacat · Coach

Redo my bathroom-- paint, new fixtures, new mirror, new lights, and a cool modern print

or put it towards hardwoods downstairs
