Unfortunately, I am kinda stuck with white appliances. I already have a good stove in white and the refrigerator I found is white too ( $350 for a new 18 cu ft fridge at IKEA). I wish I had more to spend, but as I make under $25k a year, it is a bit hard to come up with too much money. As for cabinets, I am up in the air on them right now. IKEA seems to be the cheapest place so far, but I have yet to do much shopping around because I am working on the outside of the house first. This week is paint, next week new screens around the pool and hopefully my new back porch roof. ( got another contractor coming out tomorrow. It is surprisingly hard to find someone who can do what I need done!) Next up is a new front door, new windows and more attic insulation. But I am getting off topic. Anyways, without appliances or labor, I am figuring on spending around $2,000-2500 between the floor, cabinets and counter tops. It is a small galley kitchen about 10 feet in length with 10 cabinets and about 10 feet of total counter top length, so I should be able to do it for around that with a few flourishes thrown in. I want to demo part of the wall between the living room and kitchen to make a bar too, but that likely will kill the budget. The house only has 1066 sq feet, and I want to do that to enlarge the sense of space by connecting the living room dining room, and kitchen space like that, but it seems to be a load bearing wall which is beyond my expertise and budget to deal with.
