Live there for you. Its your house. Make it your personal retreat from the world, and set it up how you like it. Don't worry about resale until it's actually time to sell.

One additional thing I'll add: make "nice" repairs, e.g. things that you normally repair when you're about to sell the house (e.g. wobbly toilet paper dispenser, crooked trim, etc.) as your budget and time allow. These things add up when you're selling and you'll regret not having your place look nice when you lived there.

These are nice weekend projects and often help you learn basic home repair.
