Remodeling sucks down money. Focus instead on FURNITURE that matches the house. You will get far, far more return.
When throwing money into a project, ask yourself, "What tech will survive the next 10 years unscathed?" If a tech won't change much in that span, then it might be worth installing in the house. Otherwise, you are pissing money away. So that means that you invest in power outlets and upgraded power. Otherwise, invest in insulation and windows. Replace your fridge, especially if it's over 10 years old.
20k is chump change in the renovation game.
