| Re: Kitchen for under $1,000
So this is my basement, I added a kitchen for under $1,000 (doesn't include appliances or painting).
I bought the cabinets off craigslist after making sure the layout would more or less work, I had to repurpose one of the upper cabinets and cut the box down as well as the door to make the layout work. I also found the sink and faucet on craigslist for cheap, Countertops are from Ikea.
Overall I'm pretty happy with it, took way longer than it should have as I got started and then busy and stopped working on it for a few months. My electrician friend hooked up my 220 for nada, did pretty much everything myself with the exception of a buddy helping me move some shit around.
It's far from perfect but for staging a 2 bedroom basement suite it will due. I'm adding the suite to make my house easier to sell when I list in a few months.
Still need stove, fridge, ductless hood fan and paint and it will be finished.

A little research and planning can save a ton. Some people are just too good for used stuff. Lots of times, people replace brand new cabinetry and appliances just cause it doesn't "go" with their style.

A lot of people sell off complete kitchens like that too for nothing
My former boss had a beautiful kitchen with darker wood cabinets and a super nice granite counter that probably cost like 25-30k on install. I think he sold everything for like 3000 when his wife wanted dat white shaker

Very nice Quasi.
We went through a similar project last summer in our Whistler place. Had to re-do the kitchen as it was getting weathered.
We spent most of our money on the countertops, opting to paint the cabinets. This summer I plan on replacing the cabinet doors, as the cabinets themselves are still good.
New sinks, faucets, and some electrical updates and it's a nice place to be again.
Total spent was way more than yours, but being that I spend half a year there on average, it was worth it. 
I beat the hell out of my body doing the demolition though. a week of climbing 3 flights of stairs, hauling out buckets of old tile and construction debris made me appreciate what tradespeople go through every day.
