I've got the kitchen to do at some point. Which I dread. I have asked people a few times here how to even start going about it, but it always boils down to "design the whole thing yourself, pick the stuff, find a good builder, micro manage what they're doing, and if it's shit you've only got yourself to blame."
I just want to point someone at the kitchen and ask them to tell me what it needs to make it a not shit kitchen. I have zero design creativity so would be easy to please in that regard. Then I want the same person to go away and arrange everything, just give me a ball park figure of what it will cost. Is that an architect? Interior designer? Kitchen company? Builder? Again, how do I know that whichever one of those it is are not going to end up in the 90% camp? I know there's a thread for this, but that's full of people who know what they're doing.
Yes and no. I would want a stone worktop for ease of maintenance. I like the ply edge cupboards you see knocking about. Not averse to pinks/pastels. I can see all the things I like in various places, it's getting it all done, deciding on configuration etc that seems insurmountable to me.
