Wow! $60 grand? Holy cow! I'm only thinking about $5 to remodel. What do you want done? Yeah, with that much money, you'd rather buy a new house.
You've seen my kitchen. It's very small. I just want the floor and counter top done. Maybe move my sinks to the window so that I can do an isolated island, but I'm sure it's going to cost me more than $5k.
I want to tear down a wall that separates the kitchen from the dinning room to open up the kitchen making it bigger so it can fit more people. Where the wall use to sit, I want to put an island there, rip out all the old cabinets and put brand new ones up extending it a little further out from the old cabinets and adding a pantry. I want stainless appliances along with replace the flooring with hardware floors. That's not much, but sure is costing an arm and a leg.
I think that's a great idea that you have for your kitchen and it shouldn't cost you that much.
