My boyfriend and I are in the process of buying a mobile home from his sister. We will have it paid off in two years and after those 2 years I have big plans for this little single-wide. Everyone's told me it's silly to want to remodel a single wide (that I've been told was made in the 80's no less, based on the radio/speaker system built into the house) because it's just going to depreciate in value and there's no reason to put so much money into it. But I don't care if it depreciates! It's our home and we plan on being in it for some time. I want nothing more than to personalize it and make it ours. We're saving as much as we can in preparation and have been brainstorming like crazy on what we want to do with each room. I already know that I'm converting our spare bedroom into a darkroom...eventually, because the equipment is a bit pricey. I have been looking into what would open it up and make it seem bigger, what paint colors and thinking about new carpet vs. laminate flooring, etc. My boyfriend has given me pretty much free reign with what to do, because I used to want to be an interior decorator before my life sidetracked (for the better). I've pretty much decided on the color for our living room. I'm thinking of a mint green and instead of pulling off all the crazy molding and those things that cover the seams (can't think of the name right now) I'm thinking of painting them black. I think black would be a lovely accent color for mint green...at least in my head anyway. But I'm going off on a tangent. I wanted to just say hi to everyone and I'm glad there is a forum just for remodeling mobile homes! I've been searching the internet for something like this.
