[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on how dated your kitchen is.  My house was built in the early 1940s, the kitchen had a slight update sometime in the 1970s that included a horribly built bump out, and appliances were upgraded to mid-level quality in the 1980's or 1990's.  It was time to tear everything out and start over.  There was nothing "period" or charming about the old kitchen.  If we sold tomorrow, would we get dollar for dollar back?  I think we would.  But more importantly, we don't have to love with the horrid kitchen for the next ten years.[/quote]

Ha!  Do you have our house?  We had an identical situation.  In fact, the kitchen was so bad we almost passed on the house entirely because I wasn't sure I could live with it in the period leading up to the remodel.  We spent somewhere around $30-$35K and the difference is like night and day.  I'm not sure we'll get it all back but I do know the house would have been extremely difficult to sell as it was originally.[/quote]
