Gretchen, hope it's not too late to answer your questions! We would be happy to meet with you and discuss the details of your project and ideas. Costs of a reno and remodel project can vary. I encourage you to give us a call 715-386-5544 and ask to talk to our kitchen remodel team. You can ask for Angie, Molly, or Desiree. They specialize in kitchen and bath remodel! :) They can give you incite as to how much you should spend on a remodel based on the current value of your home and advise where your money is to get the most value.
