Bought a house, estimated the renovation budget plus 10-15% for inevitable extras, and we set aside 5000 EUR for the kitchen!!!!
That’s how it started... at first, I was in a bit of shock, but we still had time. First step: remove all the walls for a new layout—I need space...
Let’s start with the (according to the agent) move-in ready property. The small kitchen, just under 8 square meters (about 86 square feet), had its 1970s pass-through removed. The wall including the kitchen door is gone! The wall next to the cellar stairs is gone too! Actually, the entire slanted wall, nearly 7 meters (23 feet) high, removed completely...
The window had to go as well since we needed a different working height than the standard 90 cm (35 inches). New screed installed, we switched to underfloor heating, all electrical wiring and water pipes are new.
After almost six months, the realization slowly sank in: the kitchen budget will not exceed 5000 EUR, so we had to look for a used kitchen... something special, but very cheap.
The search criteria: within a 100 km (62 miles) radius, up to 1000 EUR, because I still want new appliances.

There are already quite a few good whiskies available for around 30-40€ (35-45 USD). Just drop by Horst’s place I have never ordered whisky from Horst.
I either pick it up directly at the distillery or order special releases there, for example the Friends of Laphroig.
How things will be from summer onwards remains to be seen. They over there still don’t know what they want.
I just fear that my Innis & Gunn sources will dry up.

During our move into the house, the kitchen was installed (Image 1).
The kitchen can be separated from the living room and hallway by sliding doors, which is also why the counter is rotated.
