Renovating for the first time and on a limited budget (Staying in this house for only another 2-3 years and moving on so dont want to spend a fortune).
These are the current cabinets:

Pretty old and outdated -What can I do about these? Sand and paint a light colour? Or get the whole thing changed? How much does this changing deal cost (rough estimate is fine since I have no clue where to start looking)
What colors can I go with? Sorry to ask a silly question like that but I am hopeless with colors.
(Rob, pretty similar to the pics from your article in that Property Magazine(great article BTW) so look forward to your response as well )
Secondly, whereabouts in Melbourne is a good place to buy good cheap kitchen gear? Considering I am after functionality and not designer stuff wouldnt mind factory seconds etc. A friend suggested auctions but wasnt sure where they happen!
Also, current cooktop is Electric and considering changing to gas etc. How much does it roughly cost to get a gas cooktop and new rangehood fitted? Rough figures are fine since I am completely new to this.
If we go about fitting rangehood etc is it worth fitting new benchtop as well or the costs are not connected to each other? Or its not a big difference between the two.
Thanks for any help or feedback.
