Moved house, changing new kitchen?

[Fretfulmum]

We have recently moved house and our sellers had put in a brand new navy blue shaker kitchen. It’s lovely but just not what I want.
I feel awful tearing up a new kitchen but I do like some aspects of it. Is it possible to amend some of it only?
I want to remove a lower and top cupboard in the middle of the units (and cut the worktop here either side) and replace with a full length pull out larder. I also want to cut the worktop and units where there’s a peninsula and replace with an island. I have no idea if you can cut worktops and cabinets? I also want to change the colour to a stone colour rather than navy. Do I need to get a kitchen fitter out? I’ve never replaced a kitchen before so have no idea where to start

If you can afford it I’d rip it out and get what you really want. If you’re worried about waste look into selling it rather than throwing it into the skip.

if you sell it, i would be interested in buying it :)
we have moved into a bungalow and it hasnt been touched since the 80's. the kitchen is in desperate need of a revamp. but we cant afford to buy a brand new kitchen.

People will buy the full kitchen if you don't like it, or get a joiner in to see what they suggest.

What is the worktop made from? You can get cabinets resprayed and worktop replaced and buy and fit new cabinets. Your hardest job at the moment will be finding a kitchen fitter who will swap the cabinets when they can get paid a fortune for doing a whole kitchen instead. Where I am people are waiting for 6 months at least to have a kitchen fitted.

Kitchens are just boxes with a worktop on. You can definitely remove, rearrange and re-worktop them, especialy if not affecting the sink/cooker/dishwasher. It's gutting when a new kitchen is badly designed.

If you know the original supplier you can get matching trims, ends etc or a few new units and pieces of worktop.

If the doors are painted they can be sprayed. If they are vinyl wrapped you can get them re wrapped. Or you can just buy new doors and end panels. It's more sustainable to re use some of it.

I'd live with it for a bit - I've had similar ideas for our kitchen but 4 years later haven't done it and we seem to be managing.

Thanks everyone. I’ve asked the sellers where they bought it from and I’ll see if I can purchase individual cupboards. If I can’t get this info for some reason, then will have to put up with this one until we can get a new kitchen. None of the changes will affect any appliances, just the cupboards. DH thinks I’ve gone mad but I’ve waited years for a pull out larder!

What is your worktop made of? What is the width of what you want to replace and why the middle rather than end of the run for the tall cupboard?
If it's a a standard width which is likely swapping out a cupboard won't be difficult but you may need new worktop.
My biggest concern with the peninsula would be the flooring. What is around it and do you want to keep it?

Open the doors and get out your tape measure. Think of it more in terms of rearranging modules rather than cutting into cabinets. So you need to check they are single units for example rather than a double with two doors
