If you're looking to sell your house anytime soon, you should take into account the return on investment that an updated kitchen can give back to you. The kitchen of a home is by far the best place for you to put money into, and other than obvious problematic issues (like basic functionalities working properly), it's one of the first things home buyers will notice.
Flooring - Hardwood floors are the way to go if you're ripping up that old linoleum. They go with everything, and are an attractive selling point. If hardwood is out of your price range there are tons of new types of flooring out there that mimic the look of hardwood with a more appealing price tag.
Cabinetry - Brand new cabinets are going to run you thousands of dollar without a blink of an eye. Beautiful cabinetry is a huge selling point, and proves to be a great return on investment, but if this just is not an option for you, make the effort to spruce up yourexisting cabinets with a fresh coat of paint. There are tons of tutorials that will help you make it a DIY project, saving thousands.
Hardware - Replace the hardware on your cabinets if you're not investing in new ones. It's a cheap fix that will make a big difference. Replacing your faucet is another cost effective way to look new with a low cost.
Fresh paint - This rule really applies to your entire home, but if you haven't yet, re paint your kitchen walls a nice, clean and crisp light hue. This tactic will brighten up your kitchen and make it seem larger than it actually is.
