A Remodeling Plan Remodeled

As time goes on, our remodeling plan keeps changing. We discussed the next phase of remodeling the other day, and decided that instead of throwing money at the house in the form of new parts and pieces, we would rather make small changes on the house and throw money at the mortgage instead. We figure that since we have small kids and really can't have anything nice anyway, we might as well wait until they are older before we really spiff up the place. I was planning to replace the cabinets this fall, but instead, I will just be refinishing them. I still want to rip out the carpet downstairs ASAP, so I'm still holding on to the hope that it will happen sooner rather than later. I know that it helps with the echo and falls and such, but honestly I just want to walk on a floor that I know is clean. I'm also planning to make major minor changes in the office in the form of paint, and this carpet HAS to go! I'm sure that some day we will get the house like we want it, but I guess progress comes in many forms, and this is the one that ours is taking right now.
