Twenty years ago, my parents bought a (new to them) house, and the kitchen was atrocious, so they ripped it out.
My Dad is an amateur woodworker, so he was going to build new cabinets. But he was busy, so they put in some temporary stuff, including two old entertainment centers, two beehives stacked on top of each other for open shelves, a slab of MDO plywood for a counter, and various other makeshifts.
In 2020, he put actual countertop in, having given up on the whole idea of making cabinets. The entertainment centers officially became permanent. (The tops are the right height for counters, and the drawers are very sturdy, and they're nice looking pieces and it's not like we have any other use for them!)
He got a book on kitchen design for Christmas and now he is talking about taking the radical step of installing the light fixtures they bought twenty years ago and never got around to installing. (They've been using lamps for light.)
Well, I mean, you wouldn't want to be hasty about anything, right?
(My Dad, I should mention, is the one I inherited my autism from, and he has all the executive dysfunction that implies.)

there were through iirc 2019, and given how many there were there probably still are some, boxes in my parents' basement that hadn't been opened since they were packed while clearing out my grandparents' house in 1997. and it was astonishing that Mom actually opened any of them in iirc-2019. I had more things to say about that before realizing there are boxes in my bedroom right now that haven't been opened since I packed them in 2018.
