What should I do with this kitchen?
The budget needs to be minimal and I'll do a lot of the work myself. I'd like to market as a lease purchase, but would be happy holding it as a rental for a while.
New DW, range, and micro obviously. And Faucet. My wife thinks the cabinets are ok to keep. This is a middle/lower middle class neighborhood and most comps have similar cabinets with updated countertops, though some cabinets are painted white.
Cabinets - should I paint or just shine them? What is the cheapest/easiet way to make them look newer?
Counters - most comps have faux granite formica, one has corian. I was planning to just install the single piece 22" depth formica tops from HD and cut to fit, but notice the diagonal piece above the DW which is deeper than the 22". Not sure how I would make that work here.
Another option might be the butcher block tops from lumber liquidators - how hard are those to install? Other ideas?
Add Drawer and Door pulls?
Floors- Tile? or is Laminate Wood or something else OK?
