Women have a mental picture of what a "single guy's house" looks like inside, and it's not flattering. You want them to be pleasantly surprised when they walk in. Well decorated, but not to the point where she wonders if you're gay. Clean, but not "Serial Killer Clean". Sports stuff is ok, but also have some art. Doesn't have to be expensive. I've got some pieces from Target and Bed Bath and Beyond that looks fine. Curtains. For real. Throw pillows.

Yeah, there's color (every room in the house is a different color).
I've gotten some free artsy stuff from friends that's just sitting there atm, just doesn't match what I have. I need to get some new furniture, new floors, paint (I want a diff color, maybe two)... and it just all adds up.
I've been told I don't need to do it all at once, but it's hard to not just want it all done at the same time. I'm not going on my vacation, so maybe I'll spend some of that money on a remodel, being that I can't move out of this house for a while.
