Video Transformation Series – 5. The Kitchen
Kitchen: Kitchens will make or break a sale. The decision was made to add a new kitchen because of dated elements, plus the lack of function of the old layout. The new layout and design elements added (in my estimation) over $15,000 of value for a buyer. This was obviously the biggest part of our rehab budget, but obviously well worth the time and investment. Creative use of in-stock and quick delivery materials enabled us to complete this new kitchen in only one week! Project included in-stock cabinets from Home Depot, and budget granite counter top provided by Kurtis Kitchen, and a fashion paint color. Budget did not allow for appliances to be added, but we did add a dishwasher since this is an important selling feature for buyers. This likely would have been a deal breaker for most buyers. We compromised by not adding all appliances, and by re-using existing floor.
