Everything new except left the shell the same. Should i replace the floating shelves with cabinets?

Redid our kitchen after living here for 8 months. The last time it was redone was in the early 2000s. We took down load-bearing walls and installed glass windows and doors to bring more light into what was a black, colour-drenched, unused entryway. The whole process took 5 months, plus another two months waiting for the cabinet front doors after some back-and-forth about which doors to choose. We made a custom pantry and breakfast nook with storage in the seating. We still need to customize cushions for the benches and add a few more personal touches.

I’m remodeling my kitchen and am getting ready to get the cabinets installed. I went ahead and ordered RTA cabinets from a local shop. They offer installation and just wanted to make sure that the price sounds reasonable to people. Everything will be ready for the installation. Everything else has already been done (plumbing electrical Sheetrock)they are quoting me a little under 12k for the installation

I have attached pictures of the plans. Thanks in advanced!

Edit: this is just for installation. Cabinets are running me another 15k

Hello! I am gutting my tiny nyc galley kitchen. It’s small but extremely efficient with actually decent storage and I kind of like how it is closed off from the rest of the apartment vs full open concept. I also didn’t want to get rid of that wall fully and lose my uppers.

We are gutting the kitchen though, and so I asked my contractor to open the passthrough up a bit especially by making the counter the same level on both sides so I have a little more working space. He has opened it up but now it’s off center….. I am going to talk to him about it tomorrow and I’m sure there may be some reasoning like gas lines or something but I guess what can I do if that’s the reasoning? Do I close it back up on the left? Or am I only noticing it because of the sconces? We wanted to get rid of the sconces but we do really need lighting there so we’re just going to change them for something newer, not remove them completely….

Thank you in advance!
