Lol when was the last time you priced out a kitchen remodel? 5k would maybe get you the cabinets

It was admittedly a while ago, but pre-built cabinets are like $200 a piece so there's maybe $1500 worth of cabinets there. It's not a huge kitchen.

Unless these idiots bought custom made cabinets, didn't bother doing anything to the left of the stove, and then painted them a horrible color.

Those are definitely custom to fit that space and accommodate the sink/hood. Though why there's such a big stile against the wall left of the range is beyond me. Shit planning and taste.

With custom cabinets they would be able to fill that gap on the left and also use smaller filler for the bottom cabinet left of the range. For pre-fabricated cabinets they usually only have size increments of 3" so you end up with big fillers. The sink area upper cabinets look like a standard size and the hood cabinet is actually wider than the hood so it definitely wasn't made custom to this hood.

Custom cabinets and they couldn't even get the top doors to match the bottom

If there was an outlet there, I could see that spot being meant for an appliance like a microwave or something. But I can only see one wall outlet in the entire kitchen.

I don't think following code was part of their design.
