When you're fixing up a property, one of the biggest lifestyle upgrades you can do is by creating more flow, by changing the floor plan. You don't want to get into changing any big load bearing walls, but if you can take a wall that opens up a kitchen into a dining room area to create a great room, that's a terrific way to go. Wherever possible, find non load bearing walls that you can actually remove to go ahead and open up to create more space, because houses now are designed more with space in mind than they used to be. The older homes all have a much more cramped feeling. If there are areas where you can open the den to the living room, go ahead and open those up. Anywhere where you can create more space or a feeling of more space is money in the bank.
