203k loan for carpet and paint?

I'm looking at purchasing an 1100 sq ft 3BD, 2BA single family to owner occupy. If I'm not mistaken the lender has advised I can use a 203K loan. My question is, if it's a small amount of work (carpet, paint, kitchen and bath tiles, maybe cabinets) should I do this type of loan? I'm thinking I don't want to finance these things over 30 years.
