I like my butter bowl container’s sooooo, have been known to use sheets to make curtains, I detest shopping so clothes and silly lady things like purses and shoes and blah blah blah, but I do have my own collection of books, so I would insist on a few shelves built, or we could make one out of the shoe rack.
LOL, my kitchen has been a work in progress for the last five years! I’m just happy to be almost done! My husband is a remodeling contractor and my youngest son is a kitchen contractor! We are always last! God bless you!

OK. First, the books and shoes can be downsized. (I’m assuming she’s not the ruler of a small 3rd world country.). Second, look at the new resale value of the house! You don’t show the bathrooms, but I’m certain that upgrades there would do The Property Brothers and the Love It or List It! team proud. Time to start the perfect family!
Ah, but such memories are from decades long ago and since reverted back to simpler ways. However, I have retained dinner plate setting for two – just in case. Naturally nothing matches.
