    Default what is your worst room decor wise?

    For me it's our bedroom. There's a bed and a dresser. lol We didn't even have a bed frame for well over a year and had the mattresses on the floor.

    Second would be the bathrooms.

    Definitely our bedroom. No bed frame, no headboard, footboard. We have cathedral ceilings in there and nothing on the walls...NOTHING LOL

    I would have to say my bathrooms and then second would be my dining room. I have been wanting to remodel the dining room. I just have to persuade DH.

    Right now I would have to say every room, because we haven't quite finished the insulation and I've put off doing all the fine work on every room until this winter.    I want to do it all at once because of the sanding I have to do.     Hopefully it will all be finished this year.

    The kitchen, because the cupboards and tile are so old they are deterioting as well as being just plain ugly

    I would have to say the bathroom! terrible! But hopefully this winter DH will be making a new one!!

    After that I would say dining room! I changed our computer room into a diningroom (which is what is was meant for originally) I am in the process. All furniture is moved and half the wallpaper is up. The wallpaper in there was that huge silver leaf pattern Very overpowering. The floors need sanded and stained as well. Right now there is an old "floor cloth" you know the ones they had years ago, I don't even know what it is made of but it is brittle and will be in pieces when we take it up and do the floors.

    For me I'm going to say DD's room. The furniture is mismatched and is too small for what she needs, yet the room is too crowded. She doesn't like it either but as for now, I guess it will just have to stay that way (no room in the budget for changes). She hates to clean her room and I am not redoing anything until she learns to take better care of her space. Her latest request is that we buy new furniture (HA, HA) and redo her walls with leopard print and FUR. SO almost had a heart attack over that one.

    Computer room, no doubt. Dh PROMISES that he is going to finish the basement remodeling this weekend so we can move the computer room/guest room to the basement and start getting the nursery ready.

    For me it's my family room/office, the only thing I like about it is my fireplace and the way we have it decorated. We finally bought paint for it and dh is gonna be painting tonight actually..woo hoo! We have mismatched furniture in it, the computer desk being the biggest part of it. We're hoping to enclose our porch next summer and then I can move the desk out there, since it'll become an office. I sooo need Trading Spaces or While you were out for this room. My living room and bedroom are the only 2 rooms that are completely done decor wise.

    Our computer room without a doubt. It has very ugly wallpaper, and the former occupants did a terrible job hanging it. We have lived here for two years now, and have redone our bedroom and dd's, the living room, and the kitchen/dining area. The computer room was going to be the first room we redid after we moved in, but it is still waiting...

    Mine would have to be our bedroom. We have our bed on the floor. No bed frame or anything. Nothing on the walls either. I just don't spend enough time in there to want to decorate it!
