Another vote for IKEA cabinets. They're affordably priced. The cost for your recessed lighting, range move and window repair might surprise you. I'd be contacting some general contractors and electricians to get quotes on those. Your kitchen doesn't need everything as you have new appliances. That's a big chunk of change for a kitchen. Consider talking to an experienced local realtor to figure out your action plan regarding resale value. They'll be able to tell you if you're likely to recoup most of those reno costs. Good luck!

Oooh, yes, sounds like it's time for a major redo. Well I think IKEA is your go-to for cabinets. You can find some good threads on here (and advice elsewhere online) about how best to go about designing and ordering an IKEA kitchen. To be most cost effective, have it all designed and ready to go and order as soon as they have their next kitchen sale, which is usually a pretty notable discount.

As for floors, what the standard in your market and price range? I prefer hardwood (solid or engineered), but you depending on your market, LVT can be a good options, and it's more DIY friendly.

If you have a good layout, changing out cabinets for new cabinets does not have to be break the bank expensive, especially if you do not need custom. Many of the home center stores carry good quality, made in the USA cabinets. They are less expensive because they come in standard sizes only, rather than being custom made. We had the same problem 20 years ago - cabinet doors falling apart and falling on the cook - that would be me. We also thought we would be moving in 5 years - we didn't, so keep that possibility in mind. We used Medallion and they are sill in fine shape. I've also used Shrock with good results. There are often different levels within a brand - don't go with the cheapest. I don't know if Ikea is less or not. The cost of removing old cabinets and replacing with new without moving plumbing or electrical is doable.

If your layout is not good, see how much it would cost to improve it. Since you don't have a picture, I can't tell. The biggest problem I often see is stovetops on small islands - hard to vent and difficult to cook at - something like that would be best moved to the perimeter.

If laminate counters are the standard in your area, that is fine. If you do go with a laminate, but want to have an interesting sink, the Kohler Vault is a stainless steel apron front sink that has a version that can be top mounted. It is a little more than a standard stainless under mount, but might add a bit to the kitchen if that is your style.

Home center stores have kitchen sales frequently - like every 4 to 6 weeks, so don't feel pressured into making a decision because the cabinets are on sale.

Does the window have to be replaced?

The kitchen in the photo below is J&K White Shaker with 44SF of granite. For the assembled cabinets, installed granite, new hardware and sales tax, this kitchen totaled $5400. Did not include cabinet installation, flooring, painting or lighting.

The homeowner installed the cabinets, floor and backsplash on his own. I think you can stay within budget if you go entry level on the flooring. Entry level granite might not be much more than laminate tops. Depending on your neighborhood, though, even if you pay a bit more for granite, it will help sell your house over laminate.

BEFORE:

This is another budget J&K kitchen that we installed.

This is our kitchen as it is now. When we purchased the house the cabinets had been painted, but they did a poor job and they started to peel in a year. They also put the original 1970s hardware back on in the middle of the cabinet doors. We replaced the all the cabinet hardware and did our best to hide the holes, we replaced the brown sink with a white Kohler one I found at Habitat ReStore, replaced the faucet and bought the cheapest laminate counters we could find. DH laid the laminate flooring, which got damaged when the old DW went, but it was meant to be tempory, anyway.

I'd be checking out IKEA. Do you have one nearby? I was on their website to see if they had a total price per kitchen but they don't seem to have that anymore. Gave you a ballpark figure for the cabinets. Used to be priced per linear foot as well. Everything is itemized and you can use their kitchen planner but it's a few steps to get a ballpark figure.

Home Depot offers free in-home consultations as well. They outsource their work but you can get layout ideas from them and a ballpark figure for cabinets at least. Then you can compare to IKEA cabinets.

Where were you planning on moving the range? Is it electric or gas? Laminate flooring can be an affordable option. Tile as well. What's expected in your neighbourhood for countertops? Labour is where the costs add up. The more you can do yourself (well), the more you'll save.

Find a contractor who can help you with the window and range. Get labour costs and time estimates. Difficult to move forward without good resources and budget requirements.
