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.

Why is it not allowed to show your collection?

You can show whatever you want.
But better to have a door in front of it, not open on the kitchen cabinets.

I don’t live in the USA, where beer cans get a sock put over them.
The collection remains on display.
Why should it be hidden behind doors?

Teens only drink alcohol in large quantities just to get drunk. They are still far from enjoying a drum slowly and fully with all senses (eye, nose, mouth).

I think displaying spirits, even if they are more expensive, is something for teenagers.

If now and then an "age-inappropriate impulse" contributes to one’s own and some others’ enjoyment, related expressions of disapproval are sometimes easy to tolerate.

The reason why the 39 bottles of wine are behind a door is because the dust on them annoys me.

For many beverages, it would be better to store them away from light.

Whisky does not respond well to sunlight exposure and temperature fluctuations, and neither do others necessarily. There are shady spots available inside the houses.
