To change a brand new kitchen

[Agggghast]

I am in the process of moving, my house is under offer so I need to find somewhere quickly. Yesterday I saw a lovely house which would suit me perfectly except the kitchen is completely wrong for me, style, colour and layout. However it is brand new and clearly expensive and I feel guilty at even thinking about it. I am downsizing so cost isn't a problem but the friends in real life seemed to think I was being idiotic.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with not liking high-gloss because you're too idle to keep it glossy!

But do sell it give it away rather than chucking it. Can't you just change the doors?

I am really conscious I sound a bit of a madam but it has an island and I much prefer a big central table plus I just prefer the 'country' look. I am just not sophisticated enough for this kitchen. I am moving because my current house is too big and isolated for just me and the dog but it is my dream house and my late DH and I created it out of a couple of cottages and a boatyard. I now remember fondly the days of a dirt floor and a single cold water tap!?! I would defo sell/donate it just don't want it. Imagine having a kitchen you clash with! Taking DS and DD2 to see the new house tomorrow so will see what they say.

Burgundy and cream is a very definite colour scheme so I can see why it'd be hard to live with if not your thing

Hopefully DS and DD2 will encourage you and approve of your choice of home OP.
If they approve of the kitchen tell them that they can have it

I don't think style choices are either sophisticated or unsophisticated, they're just people's personal taste.

Burgundy and cream high gloss would be one of my own worst options, I wouldn't want to live with it, but I fully understand how someone else may love it.

As I said before, make this home yours. Have what you love in it and don't compromise. You're absolutely not a madam and your DH would want you to have something you enjoy

DH would be saying Ffs you managed without a kitchen with 2 under 2 for 6 months stop whinging!!!! I just feel it is not my taste or suited to my lifestyle. Looking round the kitchen now there is a wetsuit hanging on the back door, a dog basket, a bookcase and a scruffy sofa where the dog actually sleeps when I go upstairs. Plus a lot of sand!

Agggghast managing when you have to is not the same as pleasing yourself when you can.
Behave yourself and just stop fretting.

You made do and mend when needs must.
Let the kitchen go to someone who'll appreciate it, it's clearly not in tune with your lifestyle!

If you don't pick what you want now, when are you going to get another chance to do it? Do I need to make contact and come and project manage for you? Hmmm
