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.

My dad is the same way. And at 83 years old, that’s not going to change anymore. A few years ago, a friend gave him a really big bottle (1 liter (1 quart)?) for his birthday. There’s Maggi sauce on just about everything... Personally, I’ve stopped using it because I can’t even eat half a bag of Oriental chips without getting cramps at night 😳I’m also married to a Maggi user. Maggi on salad… you’ve seen it all. 🙂P

No, I’ve actually stopped doing it, but I still remember that the combination was quite nice.

@daniel1985ffo,
very nice kitchen, finally a kitchen that shows some color.
One small detail was overlooked by the studio: the end panel on the right side of the dishwasher is not recessed, meaning the plinth area. I would insist on fixing that, otherwise you'll have two hard-to-clean corners, and this kind of oversight is more typical of cheap kitchens.
Also, the oven is installed one unit too low; it could have been done better, even so that it fits well "on top."It's all good, the plinth doesn't bother us.
The oven is exactly where we wanted it 😉

The table stayed there, just moved slightly away from the patio door
