Mike deserves all the credit, but don't tell him that. Pamela, another reader suggested the same thing. My wife and I just gutted our kitchen and did a complete remodel, so I guess it's too late.

I am shocked that you stayed under $2000.00 dollars on appliances. We recently remodeled our kitchen and spent a lot more than that on appliances. I guess we should have thought through that a little more. I do agree that it is better to stay with a contractor that you know and trust. If you are planning to resale the house, builders normally have great ideas and savings tips. I think it is worth paying a little more for a knowledgeable builder. Wow!

I might have gone with a tile floor, but are you guys up north? the vinyl is less cold , that's for sure. I think the stainless steel adds a nice touch and is worth the investment. People like the look, and it's not overkill on a smaller home. Good to see that you didn't overkill the countertops. good job. Looks good.

Not a bad idea on the appliance switch, I admit. However, I will spend some extra on the kitchen for single-family homes. I think it is a good way to beat the competition. But hey, as long as you're getting your numbers. Thanks for the comment. Ernesto,

If it was my rehab I would have skipped the new appliances and bought used white appliances and saved $1200-$1400. Better yet, I could put the old white appliances from my home into the rental and bought myself new SS appliances. Since I have the original receipts from my old stuff, I depreciate them on next years taxes. I love the tax code. Also a stove top microwave can be had for about $100 more than the range hood. The dishwasher is a nice touch. Good articles guys. Looks good fellas. If it was my rehab I would have skipped the new appliances and bought used white appliances and saved $1200-$1400.
