There's nothing like a window-filled kitchen to help lighten up the visual weight of all your cabinetry.
And although installing windows can be expensive, the return on your investment can be as much as 80%. (FYI- Basic windows are usually around $300 a piece, while higher end windows that require custom framing can cost up to $1,000 each.)
Replacing or adding windows can make you feel better too. The positive effects of a significant amount of natural light have been shown to favorably impact human health and performance.
Lastly, changing broken-down, single pane windows for high-end double pane windows will help you save money on your heating and cooling bills too.

Everyone I've ever talked to who has done a renovation says that if there is one thing you should absolutely not cheap out on, it's windows - they make all the difference in the world!
