My kitchen is 13×13. I am interested in redoing the look of the cabinets. There are about 20 all together. Whats a rough estimate?? I was thinking light oak no fancy crown molding.

Hello,
Just bought a 2 family house that appears to have been owned by an eccentric yet crafty man. The unit I am moving into has an “interesting” kitchen with 3 different types of cabinets (Floor cabinets/wall cabinets/island) in white and a dark and light wood finish. Its atrocious.
I went to Home Depot last night and after 30 minutes got nothing but a phone number to call since refacing is a new service for them. All I wanted to know is how much does refacing really save? If its only like 20% cheaper then I’d rather replace everything. If its half as much or something that much better then I’d rather just reface.
My parents resurfaced their cabinets in 1996 and they are still going strong so I have no problem with resurfacing.
The kitchen is not large…. I believe its less than 12 cabinets combined.. Any advice you have is super.

We have a standard 9X10 L-shaped kitchen. It’s not small but it’s not conducive to entertaining as most of our parties end up being kitchen parties. We cannot tear down any interior walls because of the design of the house and other connecting rooms. I was thinking of enlarging the square footage by adding outwards.
I understand additions cost a lot, but what is the ballpark figure? I am looking to extend only one wall towards the backyard. It has 4 windows. Vinyl siding. I’m in the Southeast.

to design and fit a small to medium sized kitchen, contempory design fitted by the pros too!!! in the UK, also a new bathroom?
just want an idea nothing specific

We just bought a new home, and the cabinets look dirty and dated. The structure is sound and drawers move beautifully. I want to update the look by either
1) buying new cabinets from Ikea (which was rated #4 by Consumer Reports)–any ideas about that?
2) Refacing the cabinets
Which one will cost less?
I do plan on buying special cabinets (1 or 2) to add to the existing ones to maximize storage.
Please help because I’m a first-time homeowner, and don’t have a clue about this. I’ve spent 4 weeks just researching, and now my mimd is all muddled.
