We redid our kitchen about a year ago.. but we added onto it more than reno'd it. 3mtrs of bench and drawers+ cupboards.. flat packed cost $500 and we did the tiling ourselves which cost $350 for the tiles and goop stuff -which included the splash back on the walls. The lighting was only $60 as we went to a discount lighting store, and we redid our sink, but from left overs dh had from a plumbing job.. so that was free.. I dont know how we did it so cheap. But we always ask for discounts and use the local businesses rather than the big companies.
We'd love to do our bathroom toilet and laundry, but we are too broke atm.. although, like Loula, dh is a plumber so we'd just be paying for the 'stuff.'
