in a new kitchen, knowing, that you'll stay for about 5 years more in this home and then you'll probably look for a bigger one.
Our kitchen is disastrous. But it is a lot of trouble AND money to change it, .... and I don't know what to do.
Thanks
Re: Would you invest...
Waiting to meet the baby broccoli on 5/5/2013!
We're renovating before we list the house (in less than 2 years) and it CAN be done for cheap.
new cabinets=$2100 (eurobrite)
laminate counter top= $300
paint=$50
Building supplies (drywall mud, sand paper, nails, new plumbing)=$100
celing fan=$100
ceramic tile for the floor=$200.
All in all I guess it depends how much you want to spend, and what your issues are. Kitchen renos get 75-85% return on investment with re-sale. And because it's such a huge overwhelming job, most people don't want to do it themselves.
The problem is.. it is not exactly falling apart. As for ugly - well, it is not my style, or the kitchen of the century, but I could go with it.
it is just STUPID. Vitually no countertops. A sink which takes 1/3 of the kitchen (what WHAT have they been washing in it, knowing that thereis a brand new dishwasher???). Storage is stupidly done as well.
Basically kitchen is cluttered with unfunctional furniture, the electric sockets are put in the lysterious places, and it's everything but convenient....
