A few weeks ago I blogged about our plans for a new kitchen (see related posts below). The main priorities for us are to take a couple of walls down to open up the space and let more light in. Because that is going eat up a large part of our renovation budget, we have decided to make compromises in other areas. Instead of having cabinets made for our kitchen, we are going to buy second-hand ones. I’ve been looking on a few different websites – ebay, Trading Post and Second Hand Kitchens Australia – with a particular set of criteria (needs to be oriented a certain way, fit within our measurements but not be cramped, have timber cabinets, not require us to dismantle it). Hopefully something suitable will come up!
What's your spending style? 'Must have it at any cost' or 'Must stick to the budget' or a mixture of both?

Peter is great at budgeting. Neither one of us is good at sticking to it. Track record is budget + up to 100% more. But we do acknowledge the need for a budget LOL.
Thanks Magda, me too. I'm pretty good at making up a budget, not always good at sticking to it!
