    Just because the kitchen is different it doesn't mean you can't fit it all in, especially if the kitchen it came from is larger than your own. A decent kitchen fitter should be able to plan it out for you if you/we can't! Your budget will only allow trying to make pre-determined cabinet sizes fit into your space so you may as well try and make this one fit!

    There's no reason why the granite can't be recycled. Obviously the lengths will matter but I don't understand why some people think it can't at all? Even if it doesn't fit in yours, it will be of value to someone and I'd highly recommend selling your old kitchen on ebay + this granite if it really doesn't fit or you can't buy a matching piece to fit in to complete the kitchen (I bet you can!) The quartz in my kitchen was a rejected customer order which we had cut to fit and my own kitchen is an ex-photoshoot one, we just changed the layout. You will know what kind of sink to buy to fit the hole that is there etc and you already have the appliances.

    I'd try and fit it in but maybe in invest in new kickplates etc to neaten it up. If it's a really good kitchen then it's worth spending a little bit to give yourself a really glamorous, quailty kitchen than settling with something like a new Ikea one with laminate tops. You can even paint the wood kitchen if you felt inclined - that's a really classic look.
