Keep going, and find something that interests you , and Go all in.that's all i can say, a half measure of going in will only get you half measure results, be sold out on an area you find fascinating and that excites you and you will find that those "challenges" will soon become just inconveniences and non issues in a short while when you give it your best go. 

If you message me with the rough measurements of the kitchen I'll be happy to sketch up something nice for you.Ben
