[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]op here. I would love to know how to do it for less. There is another recent thread here with some surprisingly low prices. Estimates are from general contractors or kitchen and bath contractors--no high end design firms. We are not moving any appliances and knocking down walls, just new cabs and granite counters, adding an island, hardwood floors, and recessed lighting. The cabs we are looking at are probably "mid-range" and appliances are modestly priced from Sears. I guess I could just buy inexpensive cabinets from hd or lowes and have a contractor install them?[/quote]

Blech I wouldn't pull the trigger on this either. 50k for that? nope. Can't you do any of this on your own? Tear out the old cabinets yourself? Installing the cabinets yourself? Don't go cheap on the cabinets. That's my favorite part of our kitchen remodel. 100% solid wood and 100% drawers. It's life changing really. We used Cabinets to go and installed all the cabinets ourselves. Super easy.

OK so my suggestions:
do all the demo yourself
buy the cabinets by themselves (not through a kitchen designer). Surely you can measure? 
install cabinets yourself or hire a handyman
Hire out the island or have handyman install the cabinets there
hire electrician for the recessed lights. 
get the granite installed
Done! [/quote]
