How to upgrade fairly new kitchen?
I have a fairly new tract house that I'd upgrade the kitchen on and I need
tips on the best things to do so it looks less generic cookie-cutter and helps resale down the road. Check out the current pics. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...n/f85668f3.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...n/e819233c.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...n/e8c359f5.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...n/eae6076e.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...n/62722d7a.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...n/d694ee5d.jpg I'd like to upgrade the counters. They are tile, but not a high grade of tile. Don't know if it's worth tearing out the tile counters and replacing them with granite slab or granite tiles. Maybe just replacing the plain tile backsplashes with something more interesting? I definitely want to replace the existing sink and faucet with better quality replacements and replace the vinyl floor with either hardwood or tile to match the rest of the house. Can the current sink be removed without major damage to the counters? http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...n/62722d7a.jpg Is there anything that can be done with the cabinets to give a more upscale look other than tearing them out and replacing them? Restaining or painting or adding door handles? I'm replacing the dishwasher because I don't like the performance. Stainless steel seems to be the current fad, but then I'd need to get a new range, microwave hood and refrigerator to match and the current appliances are still pretty new. |
