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.

Thinner and gray steelThanks for the feedback! This is probably exactly the point that made them initially skeptical, but it’s good to know that Häcker doesn’t have any weaknesses in that regard.C

Hello everyone, here is our kitchen now — I shared the 3D views some time ago already.
We wanted to keep everything quite timeless.

Here’s an old photo:

Here is an old photo:We spent quite some time refining the layout, aiming for the lines to be as harmonious as possible. It also depends on the manufacturer. The fridge has already seen some use. It was moved from the old apartment for now. 🙂

hampshire7 Jul 2021 14:40Without targeting or attacking anyone in particular – where does the fact come from that so many people have much higher expectations for their kitchen than for the rest of their home furnishings?
Ha, that’s exactly what I’ve been wondering for a long time. Do the kitchen owners who are so focused on having perfect alignment in their kitchen also have an amazing mattress costing several thousand euros? After all, unlike the Gaggenau oven, which isn’t used every day and then only for a short time, I use my bed regularly for several hours. Italian bedding, designer recliner, stunning rugs, and so on—do they have the same value?
