[quote=Anonymous]Yes, our tiny galley kitchen will cost $40k all told (that includes expenses OP won't have, including new appliances, electrical work and small but pricey structural/plumbing changes.)

One point from spending way too much time on this: the two biggest line items always seem to be labor and cabinets. Seriously the granite or quartz seems super cheap by comparison. If you can do any work yourself, you'll save big. Ditto on finding ways to keep cabinet costs down (fixing up your current cabinets; using Ikea; finding a display model via a site like GreenDemolitions.com, etc etc.)

Ikea can be awesome by the way, particularly if you use doors/drawer fronts from custom places like Scherrs or Semi-Handmade. Still cheaper than most other options - but you either need to be DIY skilled AND willing & capable of investing the time and energy into the grunt work -- or you have to find a great contractor who can work wonders with the product. Most contractors we found were not fond of Ikea. [/quote]
