Our house is no longer kid or pet friendly.
>Window treatments changed from inexpensive blinds and curtains that could be (and were) damaged by kids and pets to nicer ones. For example the $14 machine washable curtains from Target in what were our kids bed rooms that could be replaced every couple of years cheaply gave way to custom made shutters that cost $1,000. $250 curtains in the Living room to nice heavy $2,500 curtains.
>Shower doors changed from frosted glass that hides soap build up to clear glass that needs to be squeegeed and wiped down after every use.
>Laminate that.....unlike carpet.....does not hike dirt, spills etc. Our carpet was 35 years old, and when we pulled it up, it looked like a beach under the pad there was so much fine dirt. And we had it steam cleaned EVERY year for the entire 30+ years we owned the house. The house was 3 years old when we bought it.
> Had a ton of insulation blown into the attic, and solar put on the roof to cut energy bills
>Hand rails put in the shower in the master bath and the shower/bath combo in the guest bathroom.
>Corian in the kitchen, master bath counter and shower surround. Although with Corian, while it is very expensive, damaged can be cheaply and easily sanded away.
>A wine rack built into the kitchen cabinet.
