Anyone else feel this way?
Mine was built in 1989... I felt that way and was getting frustrated with it, but have started taking it room by room and am updating each room with new paint, caulking the moldings, new blinds, new electrical outlets, new light switches, and new light fixtures. I'm still in the kitchen right now. But it's really nice to come home to what feels like a "new" home now.

Biggest thing was putting on a new architectural roof and new skylight last September.... got it done just before the big Noreaster... really updates the look of the house.

But yeah... it goes with owning a home I guess.
