Update Your Kitchen on a Budget

It is possible to update your kitchen on a budget.  Remodeling a kitchen can turn out to be one of the most expensive projects in a home, as the price of new cabinets, new appliances, new plumbing, new counters, and installation can all add up to a hefty price tag.  However, more times than not, a kitchen is what sells a Coos Bay home, and considering the kitchen is one of the most lived in rooms in a home this makes sense.

If you are considering selling your Coos Bay home and don’t have a lot of money to pour into it to prepare it for sale, consider some low-cost improvements that will update your kitchen without breaking the bank.

• The kitchen sink is a great place to start.  Faucets come in a wide variety of modern forms these days.  A simple faucet replacement can make the area around your sink look new.
• Cabinet knobs and drawer pulls offer another inexpensive kitchen upgrade.  Changing the knobs and drawer pulls can give a fresh look to your cabinets.
• Examine the interior of your cabinets.  Can you replace your current shelves with glide out shelving?  Can the space inside your cabinets and cupboards be reconfigured without total replacement?
• A lot of people feel that granite is the only way to go with counter tops.  There are other options that are less expensive and equally attractive.  Consider engineered surfaces if you counters must be replaced.
