Kitchen pictures thread - Show us your kitchens!

I wrote about the vegetable garden because I would cultivate it myself and it makes sense to me in several ways: gardening, possibly old varieties that I can't buy, and ultimately products for cooking, which is the central activity the kitchen is for (instead of a showroom). Sure, in the end I spend the same amount of money, but for a different effect.

I agree with you. You don’t need that much land for vegetables. That’s what we had in the townhouse garden in recent years:

Whoever wants to be recognized for what they have and not for who they are always has a problem.

This is a widespread view. We humans have different motivational structures. Honor, recognition, status, or power are just a few of them. Acting according to one's motivation is not a problem. It is rather natural and human. Problems are often attributed to each other when the motive of the other person is foreign to oneself.

There is no problem with his motivation to act. It is quite natural and human.

Just briefly, because completely off-topic: motivation is formed and not innate or falling from the sky. Our brain development has been studied for decades and there are great, meaningful studies. According to them, having self-motivation at all is a skill, and many people nowadays lack it. I know this from the club and from three years of apprenticeship. Consumption and showing off serve as a substitute – that creates short-term happiness but not long-term satisfaction. The Anglo-Saxons have the difference between "lucky" and "happy" – which doesn't exist here as a linguistic distinction. Therefore, I don’t want to agree with you, but we shouldn’t discuss this (if at all) here.

Well, while every kitchen here has its own corner or rather rectangular space in the house, ours is not visually or spatially separated from the dining area. It is a Nolte and designed for two people (like the house). It was important to me that the 60 cm grid in width is maintained as well as the uniform door height, because everything is open. The work height on the island is slightly lower, as I found that the modern higher height also causes my shoulders to tense up, which is not good. What can be seen: 3 medium-height cabinets, dishes on the left, supplies on the right, steam oven and oven in the middle. Pot corner, universal drawer with inner drawer, trash under the sink, dishwasher. On the back side of the island, the cabinets are 30 cm deep, on the work side asymmetrically divided into 30 cm, 60 cm, and 90 cm widths. Above the sink: two cabinets for glasses and mugs. Oh yes: the brown cabinets are Besta from Ikea. I needed a bit more space to the right of the sink, so the refrigerator was moved and two cabinets were mounted. To repeat the surface, wall cabinets were added along the long wall. I had planned for the entire upper side to get these wall cabinets now, but I couldn’t get my husband to listen or initiate the work. I would do some things differently now, but no second sink and no opening in the L for a door. The utility room is just around the corner; there is another kitchen line there without appliances, but more for cleaning supplies, light bulbs, fondue, and baking items. Unfortunately, there is only one outlet at the counter, 2 drawers could be more. Today I would probably do without a steam oven. The kitchen cost 11,000 five years ago.

Find the looks good except for the [Dunstabzugshaube]. I generally find them very unattractive and don't want anything other than [Muldenlüfter]. I also wouldn't have thought that these work so well. The price sounds very very good though.

I think it looks good except for the extractor hood. I generally find those very unattractive and want nothing else but downdraft extractors. I also wouldn’t have thought they work this well.

The price sounds very, very good.

We honestly didn’t even know there was anything else.
But I wouldn’t have chosen the downdraft extractor either. (I also don’t like that slanted thing on the wall.) I like surfaces without “holes,” gaps, or the like. It’s also the only thing visually separating the kitchen from the rest. We also need every cabinet corner underneath.
It could have been made more high-quality, yes, but that wasn’t possible. Oh yes, I would have liked to do without the edge of the induction hob so that the pots can stand flat even if they overhang.
