I want to remodel my kitchen on a budget...?
Question:...because we just bought a house and don't have any money for any kind of remodeling.
I love all white kitchens and want to get new cabinets put in. Has anyone worked in phases to get their kitchen done?
I mean, I could get the wall cabinets done, then wait for the base cabinets and countertops. The third phase could be flooring and lighting. And the last would be appliances --if at all.
This could take 5-10 years. Of course, I wouldn't have matching cabinets but that doesn't bother me because I don't like everything to match anyway. It would, of course, be a pain because of contractors working the house.
Other than that, do you see any disadvantages?
Can it be done? Anyone done something similar?
Answers:
You can remodel your kitchen in stages, but not over a 5 year period and definitely not over a 10 year period. If you have the credit to buy a home, then you could get a line of credit from Lowe's or Home Depot and that would facilitate a remodel. You could purchase what is called stock cabinetry and it wouldnt cost you more than 1500. Lowe's has stock cabinetry that is unfinished and Home Depot has stock cabinetry that is prefinished, the only downside is that you have to put it together. If you really planned this out well, you could do a complete remodel for 3500 or less.
Id be more than happy to help you in any way that I can. email me!
have you considered just re-facing the existing cabinets? if the ones you have aint white, just prime & paint the cabinets themselves and reface with new white doors. you can get counter tops (formica) real cheap at lowes and home depot, vinyl tile aint expensive and neither is lighting. Ok, now thats all on a budget and relatively quick... if you want ceramic, granite, stainless steel and all the high end stuff yeah working on a budget it probably will take you a while. depends on what you want and how long you want to wait. If it takes you 5 - 10 yrs some of the 1st improvements made could be old and raggedy by the time you get done with the last things on your list.
