     Many people think that you have to remodel the entire kitchen at the same time.  This just simply isn't true.  Think about doing a Mini Makeover.  If you have the money to do a major kitchen makeover... Go for it!  Not everyone has the resources to accomplish this at one time.  It may make more sense for you to do one of these mini makeovers.  Here is a list of mini makeovers.

  • Refinish the back splash.
  • Add or update an island.
  • Upgrade the appliances.
  • Revamp the cabinets.
  • Upgrade the lighting including adding under cabinet lighting.
  • Change the counter surface.
  • Upgrade sink & faucet.
  • Change the flooring.
  • Painting.

     By doing one or two items on the list can make a huge difference in the appearance of your kitchen.  When you are ready to sell your house, this will only help since the kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the house that can make or break the sale.

1I agree, you will just about get Dollar to Dollar back upon a resale when Remodeling Kitchens and Buyers will look at your house first!  Great Pictures, I want one of those kitchen!

Even if you don't get dollar for dollar returns on the remodeling, it can be done before the home owner decides to sell.  This way they will get the use of the updating then when they sell they will have received a certain amount of value out of the kitchen since they have used it for a while before selling.  Why fix it up and then move?
