Oh boy! Don't get me started.
Wifey mentioned that it might be nice to knock out the wall between the kitchen/living room for an open-concept feel. Sounded easy enough, so I agreed. The wall is now gone, which triggered the following; - Since there is carpet in LR and lino in kitchen, we need new floors. New hardwood for the entire main floor. - No wall = no place for the couch, unless we put it where the TV currently is. - New flatscreen for above the fireplace (HD Box too). - Must update the 70's fireplace. - New built-in cabinets on either side of new fireplace. - Continue hardwood down the stairs so we must update the front landing. - Front landing will be new, should replace the entry door. - Front entry door is new, we may as well replace the kitchen door as well. - Scrape popcorn from ceiling. - Replace florescent lighting with task lighting in kitchen. - Big island in middle of kitchen but cabinetry won't match. - New kitchen cabinets with granite counter tops but now everything is new - except the appliances. - You guessed it - new appliances. I am into this for about $16,000 so far but about $25 - $35K to go. Pray for me.

well if we want to go in what the totals are.. over $350, 000...most of my 'renos' were to a new house.... this year is finish the rest of the basement (bathroom & 2 bedrooms to finish) landscaping & the rest of the fence to go.
If we are going to be here for another couple years, change to hardwoon floors, quartz counter tops & redo the ensuite show to custom tiled/glass... LOL that would be good for another $30,000
