    OUr bathroom cost $7k 3 years agao....that was totally re-gutted, tiles to ceiling, newbath, shower - new everything really.
    We're currently getting quotes for new kitchen now - med size kitchen, total renno. Looking at anything above $12k....then appliances.
    Carpet - we recently got our garage, which we convered into our 4th bedroom carpeted. We went to a carpet recycler and got it fully layed + carpet for $200.....im hopeless with dimensions....but it was a standard size gargage. I thought it was a great deal. Carpet court were going to charge us $500 !!!!
    Like others said....pays to shop around...get 2-3 quotes...

    Ach, that's a hard question.
    Conservatively I would say $20k for a kitchen and $10k bathroom. It depends on lots of things of course - if it's an older place you ahve to be careful with Bathrooms, you never know what you might uncover underneath.

    I'm about to do my bathroom for $1500 and my dads for $6k, but that's because I'm doing lots of it on my own including sourcing all the fittings, pulling the old ones down (woo HOO!) and I'm not getting a company to design it.
