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.

But there are simply too many handles I like handles! Form follows function. I once stood baffled in front of a cabinet wall at friends’ place and couldn’t open the dishwasher without prior instructions.
Whoever at Miele came up with the idea that you have to knock before you’re allowed to enter with dirty dishes after unlocking a safety catch should be fired.
Wonderful kitchen! The wooden drawers are a dream.
How are you finding the shell limestone as a countertop? We would like a kitchen island made entirely of stone. Kitchen consultants and stonemasons recommend granite. They say any other natural stone would be too delicate??

The hidden pantry room is amazing.
But there are just too many handles.I agree with both.
Great open-plan kitchen. Tons of space. I really don’t like the thick countertop (probably made of shell limestone). It feels too bulky to me.
