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.

Can someone say how many square meters that is? I would like to know if I'm misestimating.... Why ask someone? Just ask the builder @Climbee

Schlenk-Bär17 Dec 2019 08:31@Climbee How large is the kitchen? Thanks.
Our plan shows 13.4 sqm (144 sq ft) allocated for the kitchen.
The kitchen countertop along the window is 327 cm (129 inches) long, plus the two tall cabinets, which add approximately another 120 cm (47 inches).
The island is 330 cm (130 inches) long and 120 cm (47 inches) deep. The distance between the two kitchen workspaces is somewhere between 125 and 128 cm (49 and 50 inches).
