Low cost improvements that dramatically increase your homes value.
Don't replace the cabinets! Unless you have newer or high quality wood cabinets, paint them! There are tons of paint and glaze options available, the varieties, colors, and brands are endless. Make sure to thoroughly clean the cabinets with tsp (found at any paint or discount store) sand, prime, then paint and allow to dry thoroughly before putting hardware and doors back on. A little work, but a HUGE reward for a couple of cans of paint.
Replacing old countertops with something new and fresh can add a ton of value to your kitchen, there are some great re-surfacing ideas out there as well and one I have personally used is: Spreadstone by Daich Coatings
Vinyl flooring, laminate flooring, tile flooring, all of these will add a ton of value to your home and some make for relatively easy DIY projects that can be completed in a weekend.Here is something brand new and super easy!
Kitchen appliances always add value and eye appeal and can be accomplished with a large variety of styles and budgets. If your planning on selling keep it trendy and make sure they fit the decor of the rest of the kitchen.
Don't leave out the fixtures! Changing out the sink, faucets, light fixtures, range hood, and cabinet knobs and drawer pulls is another great way to freshen up a kitchen while adding value.
