Well, my wife and I bought a house, and the kitchen needed to be brought out of the 80's and into the 21st century, but we didn't have $10-15k to spend on a pro to do it. This is our attempt at getting the best we could with about $2000-3000! It helps to have the right tools, but you can probably do it with less than I have. You will definitely need some woodworking skills, and lots of patience. This project has it all, woodworking, tiling, painting, plumbing, electrical, pretty much every type of home improvement. Google is your friend, I'm a self taught dude!Enjoy the pics, and hopefully it inspires you too!
