You aint thinkin outside the box! That is nonsense.
I’d have to replace all the cabinets on both sides of the kitchen, top and bottom so they’d match whatever they’d put in, all the tilework on top of counters, the cooktop, the microwave/oven combo. The cabinets surround the sink and they’d have to replace the sink, I’ve been told all this by a contractor. You can’t just do one side and make it match.
