Nah, the fridge is new but the unit of doom has always dominated the room. The Tommy Cooper seaweed tassel is new 😆

As well as the fridge I see they've also replaced the bar chairs after what, only 3-4 years (?), and we already know what's happened to the paintwork.

I was just looking at the new S&M bar stools…look painful to me. The old ones are the same ones I inherited when I bought this house and they are Ikea (now replaced) but wouldn’t you be going for some cox & cox spenny stools for your spenny kitchen and especially when you’ve designed the central unit to only have 2 seats for your 6 family household 🤔🤯
 
Their kitchen is genuinely anxiety inducing - like all that money spent and it needs ripping out 3 years later? Idk what I’d even do if this was me other than cry.

I’ve never seen wood flooring in a kitchen before - is it possible to have it without it looking this grubby? You can’t steam wood or clean using chemicals so doesn’t feel ideal in a kitchen?
 
We're planning on replacing our 19 year old Focus do it all kitchen in 2 years when we've saved up to do our much longed for extension...it's been perfectly functional in all that time apart from needing to replace some handles for about £50
seeing the number of fuckups that the MOD/FODs have done has given me plenty of ideas what NOT to incorporate in our design!
That void above the fridge freezer is so badly designed...how would it even be safe for storing wine bottles in the first place , when you can't even see what you're after?!
 
The problem with the bottle rack is that each compartment is too big. Taking a bottle from the bottom of each compartment would scare me with all the clunking as each bottle above settled into place. I don't think the unit will block out much light because there are glass doors all across the external wall facing the breakfast bar.
 
If they really had to have that design, at the very least they could have painted that whole unit the same colour as the walls which would have lessened the visual impact & contrast a bit and put the focus more on the rest of the kitchen. Mockup below (excuse the 2min rush job lol).

I totally agree about the size of the compartments @Hatchet_job. Individual compartments for each bottle would be a lot safer.
