You can also take advantage of houses with out of date, but quality materials.
One of my brothers had a house in Peters Township with a pink bathroom. His wife kind of liked it and it would have been way too expensive to replicate the quality of the original 60s materials.

As a new home owner there are certain projects that I want to try and complete before we move in.
1. Remove all wall paper in the house. - Any notes or hints. We have been using a steamer and it is just painful. The youtbut videos make it seem so easy!!
2. Remove all carpet (new carpet installed). - Carpet has been removed, new carpet ordered
3. Change locks. - Done
4. Paint walls and ceilings that need painting. - Paint picked out, working on wall paper first
5. Possibly remove linoleum floor in kitchen (replace with ????)
6. Debating total demo and new master bath. - current shower is very small and the rest of the bathroom looks like its from the 70's

Bathrooms are a blast. Just gut it.

I hear cork flooring and I'm imagining sheets of wine corks. That can't be easy to clean. So I'm guessing it is a different sort of texture?
