I just wanted to share my experience because I am on a non existent budget too. I saw a picture of a bench I loved, contacted the carpenter, and he has just made me a birch ply kitchen for a total of 1600 euros, including fitting. (600 labour, 400 fitting, 600 for materials). He has kept his price low for me because he likes the project. I am guaranteed to use him now to build wardrobes, boxes, and shelving solutions as and when I have budget. Sometimes talking to individuals who work for themselves/do it on the side can result in very cost-effective solutions! I am paying 300 euros for brushed stainless steel countertops, and got a belfast sink for 100 euro including the mixer tap. Will send u a pic when it's done but my almost dream kitchen has been possible for like 2000 euros (£1800?) I wouldn't shy away from painting the units yourself as there are many tutorials online to show you how, but it is labour-intensive and eggshell paint on cabinets = drips!! You could always just get white or raw cabinets for now, and paint later when you have some cash? Make sure you use quality brushes if you go this route. Nothing more annoying than little hairs sticking in your lovely paint :-/

Hi, you might want to look at Plain English by British Standard, DeVOL or Higham (this one should be the most cost effective) kitchens as alternatives. It also might be worth a while to check your local joineries to see what they have on offer and if they could deliver your design. Kitchen is often a long term investment, so might be worth upping your budget to get something that will last and that you will truly enjoy. Make sure you choose good mechanisms for drawers etc. Blum is the way forward here.

I had the same dilemma, I decided to go modern with my Rangemaster , I'm yet to see it fitted but don't think you have to go down the traditional route . Your range looks contemporary as well as traditional in my opinion

I painted our whole kitchen/diner in Farrow and Ball modern emulsion finish which is 'washable, wipeable, scuff, stain and mould resistant'. It is largely matt finish with just 7% sheen. I'm really pleased with it and re-used in my son's bedroom as it's more durable. I would use again in high traffic areas such as hallway. Good luck with your project :-)
