I want to make my house bigger, add a bathroom, kitchenette and separate entrance. It does not matter to me if it is on the 2nd floor or on the first.

Kitchen Home Improvement
If you're thinking of making home improvements with a view to selling the property after the remodeling project is done, then consider a kitchen remodeling project. The wide selection of colors and materials for kitchen cabinets and countertops, the range of high tech gadgetry and appliances that make cooking a pleasure, and some gleaming new tiles and you can have a stylish kitchen that looks like it's stepped out of the pages of an interiors magazine! What's more, you're very likely to recoup up to 120 percent of the price of your kitchen remodel, because well designed kitchens are always high on every home buyer's list!
A custom kitchen remodel can extend from installing new, high quality custom kitchen cabinets that are designed to match your interiors, complete with under cabinet lights, to quartz or soapstone countertops, designer kitchen flooring, color coordinated or contrast kitchen tiles. And that's just the fixtures! Contrast painted walls, a kitchen entertainment center and even a skylight can take your mundane looking kitchen to new heights. Don't worry if your kitchen renovation budget doesn't resemble the GDP of a tiny European country, though. You can still have a stunning kitchen makeover. Substitute custom cabinets for semi custom or stick cabinets, chose affordable materials like laminates and even ceramic over quartz, granite and soap stone, and look for affordable tiles, that come in rough textures that are in vogue. It helps if you replace your old kitchen appliances with gleaming new ones. As a final step, a fresh coat of paint will bring in loads of cheer to your newly remodeled kitchen.
If you're lucky enough to have a large kitchen, the sky is the limit - you have a choice of size and shape of islands, can have breakfast nooks and kitchen bars, maybe even a kitchen entertainment center. If you're short on space, look to opening up existing windows, adding a kitchen island for extra counter space, and breaking down the walls between the kitchen and living areas to create the illusion of a spacious kitchen. Keep wall colors light, ensure plenty of natural ventilation and you can have the "spacious" kitchen of your reams.
