too funny!

Anyway, as others have said, be smart about what's appropriate for your circumstances. Kitchens are the most feature-dense rooms in a dwelling. (read; big complex project when plumbing, electrical, ventalation, gaslines. . . get rerouted) Also, kitchens get worn with time (even w/ granite) and styles change constantly.

So, IMO, remodeling a kitchen for some idea of 'resale investment' is just a Home Depot type of marketing push.
