Surely with the planning power you have, the kitchen is going to be super beautiful! I don't doubt that for a moment.
In my case, I rent now, but when I was in Argentina I had my own house, it was a very big house, from my maternal grandparents, which is more than 70 years old and since my grandfather passed away in 1985 it had not been possible to maintain it. In 2002 my grandmother died and from then on, with my brother, we rebuilt it ourselves, all the labour was ours, except for the plastering of the walls for which we called a bricklayer.
The changes of water and electricity pipes, repair of the gas pipes, gutters, repair of the roof, we did everything between the two of us. We also did the complete kitchen between the two of us.
I put all the ceramics in the kitchen and the bathroom by myself, painted the whole house, house of 140 mts2.
It took us from 2003 until 2018, which was the year I came to Spain.
Do you think you'll buy another house and if you do would you go through a renovation again? I know people who did it and hared it and would never renovate again.
Yes I would, without hesitation! It would be my home. And although the previous one took a lot of work it was worth it.
