OMG ... The cost is staggering. The cabinets and backsplash I
want are exorbitant, costwise. One light fixture is a
designer fixture, it's $4,000 by itself.

That fixture has got to be nice!!!

The designer makes
them himself. All told the new kitchen will cost $50 grand.
Steven is balking big time. It was $24 grand when we first
went into this but I started researching stuff and found
several designers I liked. Natch I chose the most expensive ;(
The granite counter tops will be the most expensive and the
only thing Steven and I have agreed on. Sheesh... we'll get
the money back if we sell the place ;o) Yeah right, I can see
my obit "He died with his hand wrapped around a can of peas"

Am I being insane or what? I'm not looking for a
gourmet/commercial kitchen.

What is the kitchen size?

For my house, I wouldn't go over 20k. And that would take a bit to
recoop in todays house "for sale" market.

Is $50 thousand that unreasonable?
What have others spent?

Putting things in perspective, that makes Michael's kitchn plans a paltry
sum. :-)
