Finishing My Kitchen to Increase Value and Make for an Easy Sale

Home and Garden
I'm planning on finishing my kitchen renovation I started two years ago. Since then I'd hardly touched the kitchen project - in fact, the only DIY work I'd done in those 2 years was to erect some instant awnings in the garden!
So I must face this kitchen redesign again. I'd like to add a glass tile backsplash. It would coordinate with the colors of the new floor tile that runs through the kitchen, dining area, and sun room. I'd also like to remove the laminate counter tops and put in Silkstone Granite counters to add elegance.
The cupboards will be restained and sealed with a low luster finish. New lighting, under the counter tops, would brighten the overall kitchen and show off the sparkle of the new glass tiles.
The old flourescent lighting fixture in the middle of the ceiling would be replaced with a more contemporary one that gives off better lighting. Currently there is a short counter and cabinet next to my pantry. This counter would benefit from additional lighting and the addition of an electrical outlet. This would definitely make this space alot more useful. With these final additions, I'd have a kitchen any potential buyer would be proud of.
