I think ours is maybe 8x9. Redid the floors, fixed some stupid things like a random piece of drywall behind the fridge, new backsplash and "new" appliances. I liked it more or less when we bought the place.
Had to remove two layers of floor, one peel and stick and one good old linoleum. DH then hand planed off the adhesive and i coated with linseed oil.
Here's a before and after, more info on my blog cuz I'm feelin lazy, lol.
