You don't really want this 1500 sq. ft. kitchen now do you?
I recently read Dan Ho's book Rescue From House Gorgeous. I love his philosophy and highly recommend his book. Sometimes known as the "anti-Martha Stewart, he maintains that you need less, not more and stop remodeling and renovating and do what matters! Here is an excellent article that sums up his "anti-redo" stance. Smart dude.
And yes, I believe following his philosophy still means you can re-paint your kitchen or bedroom. Or whole house. (Make sure you call me first of course!) In fact, I will always maintain that it is BETTER to re-paint your kitchen cabinets (or reface) to upgrade your kitchen than to spend $50K on a total remodel. You won't go insane and you will save a boatload of money. So get rid of the useless aromatherapy-feng shui votive candles strewn hither and yon and the 12 pillows covering your bed and simplify! Less stuff means more time spent doing fun stuff rather then fluffing and primping the house.
ciao,
