[quote=Anonymous]We recently did both these things in the last year. While I'm sure it will help in resale, the motivation was our quality of life, not investment. We had a small but functional and nice kitchen, but it was too dark for my taste and too small. We expanded it and now have a beautiful open, sunny kitchen. We decided if we were going to do it that we'd be in the house for at least 10 years. It was time consuming to start with our "vision" and then pare it down based on what we could afford (we first considered a two story addition - uh, no, can't afford that) and worked with a design build firm who was very patient at showing us different options.

It has totally changed our home and was 100% worth it. As for the basement, we had a largely finished basement but my husband and dad did a major overhaul - ripped up carpet that had been damp too many times and laid down flooring, sectioned off a portion for a nice office/guest room, painted it, etc. Also gave us so much more space and has improved our life in the house.

I would suggestion doing some research on kitchen renovation companies, and start meeting with folks to see what is doable in your budget. [/quote]
