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.

Are you getting a Bora Pure or a Bora Pure X? We have planned for the Bora Pure. I wasn’t familiar with the Pure X before, but it looks interesting too!
Is there any more concrete information on the price yet?

In our case, the parquet only goes up to the kitchen – there is a picture in #397.
I wouldn’t want parquet in the kitchen, but I think, in terms of durability, it probably wouldn’t be an issue! Oh yes, I only saw the pictures yesterday. I’m hesitant about hexagon tiles. Maybe in a few years they won’t seem timeless enough for us...
But otherwise, nice accents in the kitchen!
