Here are some simple tips to revitalizing your currently outdated kitchen:

*New Flooring*
It’s easy to lay laminate flooring over your existing linoleum, vinyl, or tile floor. Laminate flooring comes in wood, tile, or stone looks and can cost as little as $1 per square foot.

*New Lighting*
Under cabinet lighting is one of the hottest trends right now. It’s a simple and inexpensive fix too! You might also think about replacing the obnoxious florescent light fixture in the ceiling with a more modern fixture which holds halogen bulbs.

*Update Cabinets*
If you’re on a budget you can give your current cabinets a face lift with a new coat of paint and some updated hardware. If you’re not necessarily on a budget you can hire a cabinet company to reface the cabinets.

*Update Appliances*
You can re-enamel your appliances for just a few hundred dollars. This means that for a fraction of the cost of replacing the appliances, you can still achieve that stainless steel look that is so popular these days.

*Add a Backsplash*
On the empty wall space between your cabinets and your counter tops add a tile or stone backsplash. Not only will it help preserve your walls, but it is also visually appealing.

If your bedroom also acts as your office, you may want to think again. When a buyer sees one room being used for more than one purpose they will automatically assume that there was not enough room in the house for you, so obviously there won’t be enough room for them either. Multi-purpose rooms are a no-no!
