What is crazy to me is how many many options there actually are to make the kitchen better without gutting the entire thing. This stuff is so clever but its not anywhere I've seen in person.

'Designers' I've talked to so far didn't seem to have much of a repertoire.
I hate to knock them but designers are there to start new and get you a fantastic functioning kitchen but retrofitting or performing surgery to an existing kitchen isn't in their arsenal. They need to understand basic cabinet making to make it work. Plus, there's no money in doing little things like retrofit even if they understand the ins and out of cabinet making.
