We called it a refresh because when our client bought the property, it was only 10 years old, but it was not wearing it's age well.  It had a great layout, though, so really the work was just cosmetic.  Cabinets were lacquered white, all of the surfaces replaced, the furnace changed out, and the landscape tweaked to add privacy, functionality and some automatic watering.  The facelift worked, and a 10 year old house now looks and feels brand new.
