For what it's worth, our kitchen re-do (lite) was based on me putting forward multiple ideas based on what I was capable of and with cost restraints to my wife, who would then shoot them down. This forced me to come up with other and more imaginative options, eventually both of us agreeing on a design that would suit. The whole thing was my idea to begin with, and started with me wanting to move a window about 50cm further in so as to free up enough space to move our fridge off a wall and into a corner. This opened up an entire section of wall for our table. It's an eat-in kitchen, u-shaped with 4 doors at one end, 4x2.5 metres. We ended up with less actual storage space (which was part of my secret aim) but more useful and with more room to move around in and more light (natural and otherwise). 3 years in and we're both very happy with it save the faucet which has now been replaced (for free) 3 times, so much for made in 'murica - although the last one we got is made in China, so maybe this one will be ok. :/
For her, yes. I get moaned at as the kitchen isn't finished.
