I 'tweaked' my kitchen about a year ago. It wasn't a full remodel ... I added some cabinets, changed the flooring, added a backsplash, added some tile to the undercounter area where the counter stools are, and changed the lighting a bit. I didn't change the counters, sink or appliances. Your wanted reward wouldn't have quite covered it. The custom cabinets and installation was slightly more than half the cost. And my kitchen is not large. It's a small, galley-style kitchen in a condo. I don't have a before for comparison, but here's the mostly done shot, which doesn't show any of the beautiful tiling.
