[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the kitchen is functional as is, why renovate more than you have to? Full kitchen Renos are for people who love to cook and want a more functional kitchen; or want a more aesthetically pleasing kitchen. If your kitchen works layout wise for your family there is no need to do a 75k reno.[/quote]

+1  If you start replacing cabinets, OP, you will have to do a full reno.  There is no way you will get those countertops out in one piece.  And once you do that, then you need a new sink, new hardware for the sink, etc.  Then something will happen with the floors, because perhaps the new cabinets have the upper dimensions that match, but the foot and baseboard part are off by half an inch and now your floors don't meet the baseboards.  It snowballs.

You would be much better off just painting the cabinets and using different cabinet fronts.  Forget about the soffits.  That would need to be saved for a full reno.  Put your money into your bathrooms if you need to but save the $75k kitchen reno for when you know you really want to do it.  When you get to resale, make sure it looks clean and spiffy, and offer a small allowance.[/quote]
