| If you aren't moving any plumbing or electrical, I would think you should be able to do the reno for under $25k. |

| Make sure you get a new light for that room too. |

| It totally depends on where you get the cabinets. If you go to IKEA (which has great cabs) you could probably buy the cabinets for $5000 (during the sale) and the counter for around the same. Labor will be another 7k or so. I think you could do it for less than $20k but maybe not much less. |

Cabinets are expensive and that's a lot of cabinets to replace. Are IKEA cabinets better than particle board?
If that was my kitchen, I'd leave the cabinets and focus on new SS appliances and upgraded flooring. |

agree, I would not pay to remodel right now. Get some use out of it first and remodel when things start to wear away. I wouldn't even replace appliances. How much is the house? |

I spent about 9k on appliances alone, just stainless steel Kitchenaid.
I think all Ikea cabinets are particle board? I really hate the way that Ikea feels. |

This is what I'd do. Maybe you can just get new doors for the cabinets if you really hate them. |

| Seriously, new hardwood flooring in that kitchen would make a world of difference. The cabinets are maybe a little dated looking but I wouldn't say they warrant replacing unless you have money to burn. |

| They don't look like particle board. They look like PVC material which is very easy to clean. The only things I would change would be to put in a wood floor, get the new countertops, and expand the island with a nice pendantl light over it. But I'm cheap and like white kitchens... |
