When it come to prepping a home for sale, things like new paint and carpet, refinishing hardwood floors, and new Kitchen cabinet hardware are deservedly popular — and cost-effective — updates.

At a cost of perhaps $150 per recessed can light, it’s possible to give an otherwise tired Kitchen a (partial) facelift for less than $1,000.
