we just reno'd a disgustingly "generic" kitchen on the cheap. It's one of the best rooms in the house. We painted the lower cabinets an inspired very deep navy color (my husband was instructed to bring home black) and white on top. The navy is oh so much better. We used ikea butcher block counter tops and its a huge improvement. Even makes our cheap "natural wood" cabinets look good!

Disagree about the eat in kitchen. We have a wknd cottage and we NEVER eat in. If we do its super casual in the LR. It's all about the outside deck for us. We did a ton of landscaping and built a deck and patio and its priceless. For NYers its the ultimate escape....
We also redid an attic space for the guests that inevitably come...despite the fact we didn't have room for them. However, we are near the ocean not the mountains so perhaps you won't have the same problem??

Not sure why you would want the stairs that wide in an "urban" space. Its beautiful but personally I would want to maximize any outdoor space so I could host my tragically hip parties?....

15K is CRAZY!! This makes me want to move from NYC asap. We did the same thing for about $2K and sweat equity and looks much better (not as much fencing or blue stone) but 15K is nutso!

Concur with the alcohol! but really, it's 4 hours of your life, just deal with it. Games are annoying and for 4 year olds. As far as your uptight neighbors, it's not such a bad thing to get up and mingle, circulate a bit. Other than that, its for the grandparents anyway...
