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.

I already found it quite homely in November 2019That is already the nicer version. Before that, there were tiles stacked in the pantry on the wall, old water supply and drainage pipes, and we generally had to do a lot of plastering.

For the wall cabinets on the right, I would consider something different. It looks very pieced together.The cabinet is aligned with the left wall cabinet, there will be a microwave above the oven, and the rest is countertop space. What exactly looks pieced together there?

The cabinet to the left of the range hood also doesn’t match the tall cabinet on the right at all.
There is no alignment or continuous line. And on the tall cabinet, it looks quite odd that one handle is centered while the other is placed to the side.
There’s nothing visually appealing about that.
