My house has no character at all. Then again, I'm not an interior decorator or anything. I'm sure someone could fix it up to give it something else. But, if you come to my house, it is a normal plain house with the same features that you would find in any home built in the early 2000's. Nothing special.
I would definitely change the backyard. It has a nice long covered patio. But nothing else. No grass, no rocks, no trees. Just dirt and dust. It is quite unpleasant being back there. It needs some trees, bushes, maybe a little patch of grass, stepping stones, a water feature maybe. I always wanted a fire pit in my backyard. My kids really don't get out of the house much. They would definitely be outside more if there was grass to play on.
The inside of my house would look good in a different color other then eggshell white. The floors could be changed from plain tan carpet to stone or wood. Some oriental style decorating has always been a favorite of mine. Of course, there is always the problem of needing money to actually do all these things.
I guess I have lots of time to plan things out and figure out how I want my house to be. We aren't actually planning on doing anything to change this house. We are only renting it. I looked around online for houses to buy. There are some really cheap houses in this area right now. I also decided I don't want a newer house. The houses built in the 80's and early 90's have much more character then the houses being built today.

I recommend buying three dollars worth of white clover seeds and throwing them all over the place.
It would be a cheap, easy, green way of improving the whole thing.
White clover is invasive. It is resistant and softer on the feet than regular lawn.
It also attracts bumble bees.
All this is sort of oriental in essence.
