Remodel Dreaming

I know, I haven't even been in my house a year.  But sometimes, I sit in a particular room, and I think of the things I would do to change it.

Take my living room for example.  I love my red wall and black furniture.



But.  I'm really thinking about replacing the carpet.  Lots of reasons, but I think a nice dark gray would really accent everything.  And I would love to install some recessed lighting.  It bugs me that there is no included lighting in the room.  I know that's the way living rooms are designed, but I prefer to have some lighting from the ceiling.  The lamp that's on the light switch just isn't enough.

How about you?  How long did it take you to start remodeling your home?
