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.

Does a flap usually go above the side-by-side refrigerator on the compartment? That would soften the look a bit. As it is open, it seems to me like something is still missing...

I was just about to write the same thing—getting a front panel for the side-by-side refrigerator opening would definitely make it look much more balanced.

What is the cost of an OrgaWall or its individual components? What price range should one expect for a hook or a shelf?

This wall is only available from Schüller and costs around €800 (about $860) in total – it also includes an inductive charging pad and three sockets hidden under the box.

I also think the kitchen turned out very well. We use the refrigerator as a secondary fridge/freezer, and it really has a lot of space!!
I’m assuming there will be books or decorations placed above the fridge, so no overhead cabinet.
I also enjoyed reading Goalkeeper’s Tread and think he has a really nice townhouse and a great kitchen.
