just from my experience..... do everything that involves hacking first..... at least then you would have a piece of mind when you wanna do phase 2 onwards..... cabinets and all can come in later..... appliances should buy only at the very last minute as trend and interest will change after time.... you may buy something u like now..... but right before moving in.... you see something better..... DO NOT buy electrical appliances so early... especially TV....
