We have been intensively working on our kitchen planning for a little over three weeks now. Sometimes we even dream about it at night, but it’s an exciting topic.

At the moment, we have two options... a Nobilia kitchen (a good, solid mid-range choice) and Schmidt kitchens (a major European kitchen manufacturer), which we actually prefer slightly more in terms of quality.

The kitchen concept is mostly settled. Nobilia kitchens can be offered by various kitchen showrooms and are fairly easy to compare, so you quickly get a sense of the price and can find your spending limit.

However, we are at least 5,000 euros above our original budget and are a bit worried about starting construction with this in mind.

Do you have any tips or suggestions?
We have already cut back extensively on the appliances or only included what we really need. It’s simply the size that drives the total cost. We know that 10,000 euros won’t be enough, but hopefully, we can keep it under 15,000 euros.

That’s probably true – but those are costs I would always have

Not me :P.

And yes: It looks cool. Hopefully it will still look that way when it actually hangs in the kitchen on Wednesday. A little gimmick for the open-plan kitchen that’s worth the extra cost in this case.

This Berbel wouldn’t have been an option anyway – I don’t like kitchen islands and have a work island instead.

So everyone can see how I accidentally scrape the fingertips while chopping onions? No, I’d rather watch the meat sizzle.

But working on an island does have its appeal...

Cutting your fingers? That's what the Tupperware Turbo Chef is for.

Now I understand why you don't want the Berbel, you need the money for the Tupperware .

Kitchen islands are just a trend, after all.
