Replacing high end wall oven: $10K (The built-in fridge and oven look fine. I didn't notice the dishwasher, but even a built-in Bosch or Miele would set you back $4K.)
Replacing kitchen tile and island countertop with high end replacements: $10K (there's not a whole lot of tile, and the island is a standard size)
Replacing door handles: $5K (even very expensive ones would cost less than this)

Where are you "cheaping" out? With a $50K budget, you could do a lot. And since NO ONE on this thread has actually inspected the cabinets themselves, no one knows if they need replacing. They're certainly not Ikea--maybe Merillat, but Merillat should last you several decades while before they need replacing.

Painting a room: $1-2K max, unless it's a great room, which none of these is.

PP here: As I said, you COULD get by with only spending $50k, but the person who buys a $2 million house is not likely one to go with the low budget remodel. Your pricing is right on for these appliances, but I think you would replace all of them. And installation can easily run in the thousands. Merrilat cabinets are nice (I have them), but they are not particularly high end. New lighting is in order as well. I think $100-200k is easily the budget for a high end kitchen remodel.

As for redecorating, replacing the granny window treatments alone is probably $25k. That's in addition to painting and plaster work.[/quote]
