Except for the purple, it is a nice kitchen.
Purple is just the color we see least in nature. That is why it is associated with unfamiliar things like aliens, magic, lovecraftian gods, ...
So having it in your house makes you have less of an attraction with it.
Here is the same picture, but just with a different hue:
I’m now convinced they just hue shifted the image for memes.
The black on the marble looks very purple so I'd hazard to say there's a high chance of that
I like the purple more tbth...
They installed full height cabinets under a chase... There's not enough room under them now.
Those cabinets in brown are hideous. I'm not a fan of the purple, either, but at least it has character.
Now the floor is covered in ... brown skids 🫠
The market: 💩
Nevermind the purple, although it's ugly as hell, but having that dead space in the corner doesn't leave much room for prep work, since both ends are also basically useless for anything you actually do in the kitchen except perhaps as temporary storage. This leaves you with exactly one place to actually prep on, and it's not exactly a large one either.
We also know full well that the corner would be full of appliances as well, which leaves us with even less room.
Shitty kitchen all around, imo.
But the cabinets are too low to fit appliances under them.
Being that purple is my favourite colour, I'm this one's target demographic. Unfortunately I'm too poor to be purchasing real estate 🤷
People shit on "acceptable beige", "agreeable gray" (aka "millennial gray"), etc. but the problem is most things that people like more are more divisive. The people that live this kitchen I'm sure LOVE this kitchen. But for everyone else it's a pass.
Speaking as one of the "everyone else", it's not just a pass on the kitchen, but a deal-breaker for the entire house. I look at this and all I see is so many of my weekends being wasted getting it to a state that my wife and I would even consider acceptable.
The color matches a favorite fanny pack I had worn forever in my youth. But I would not buy this house because of the cooking range hood is a recirculating type -- no true vent to the outside.
NGL I would love that kitchen.
But what does the rest of the house look like.
suddenly craving ube
NGL the epoxy floor and countertops look sick.
But it's just way too much purple for a kitchen, or any room really
I like the countertops... in the picture. The floor looks like I'm back in a mcdonalds in the 90s.
Yeah imo that floor is more of a deal breaker than the overabundance of purple, but then again I am a purple enjoyer (although I prefer my purple to have more blue in it)
Ngl, i love unconventional house designs like this. it hurts to look at.
And thats exactly why I like it. I want people to enter my house and immediately get overstimulated with a headache. Every room is either a color theme or a specific style.
"and over here we have the kawaii gamer themed room, and here we have the Punk Anarchy themed room, And to the right you will find the Lisa Frank themed bedroom..."
The masque of the red death over here...
that was very definitely predictable
Apart from the eyecancer-inducing color scheme - I cannot see any dishwasher.
Well then it's definitely a deal breaker 😂
(Are dishwashers that common in the states? I've lived in 16 houses and never had one, when friends get them installed it's a celebration, they're dishwasher owning kind of people now, fancy)
I've never been to a house in Norway that didn't have a dishwasher. Even cabins up in the mountain or old seaside cabins have them installed if they got water access. Where do you live where it isn't common?
I've had one apartment w/o a dishwasher, and that was a 100+ yo house that had been converted into apartments, and the kitchen was super small.
Other than that, every apartment and house has had a dishwasher. Mine actually has two (second is in a basement kitchenette w/ no stove or oven).
I don't know if I would actually want it but it's definitely pretty.
LOL fuck flippers. Making living expensive for everyone else.
No one did this for a flip. This reads as someone who really likes purple. That floor and countertop cost extra and someone flipping wouldn't have spent the money on that. A flip would be boring brown or gray with the cheapest materials and crappy workmanship.
Yup, safe colors and cheap materials is key to flipping.
So I've spent the last month looking for Houses. Nothing special, nothing extravagant. I came from a 1700sqft ranch with 3 bed, 2 full bath and a car port, small town, sold for about 215, and I got 135 take home after everything was paid off.
I had to expand my budget to 350 up here just to sniff houses that aren't in absolute disrepair on the inside and would require 50+ in reno, are 1.5 bth, or someone watched a couple episodes of Flippers and did a shittier job of "updating" the inside by putting the same cheap shitty grey vinyl flooring in several rooms.
There was 1 house I really liked, good area, open floor plan and a great basement. Downside was all the first floor carpet needed to be tore up especially since there were large stains in one of the bedrooms and it was poorly installed so was already buckled and loose, and there were cheap vinyl tiles in the foyer and kitchen that showed their wear and had to be removed. Just under 1700sq ft listed at 340 and went over asking the day it hit the market.
Another house, looked move in ready. 1500sq ft, with a half finished basement. Went to look at it...the house is claustrophobic, and the carpet needs to be pulled up also because of the terrible condition. The owners "finished" the basement by putting large vinyl tiles down themselves...which have already buckled and are about an inch off the ground in several places. They have a back patio which is about big enough for a Weber kettle grill and a camp chair. They're asking 336, claimed they already had an offer when I was looking at it but I noped outta that shit. That was a week ago and it's still on the market so either they were using BS tactics or the "offer" was for what the house was actually worth and they refused it. It's also the smallest house in a large neighborhood.
This is PhotoShopped, but...
If it were real, the problem isn't the purple. It's the white.
15k on what exactly? They just painted the wooden doors of the old units purple.
My question isn't their taste, but their budget. How the hell did that kitchen cost $15,000? Even if they had to replace everything I couldn't see it being more than $5k.
Is the floor also marble?
15k is a very normal price to flip an entire kitchen. Not even counting the appliances. Just the flooring and cabinets.
Those appliances are ancient. Consider upgrading.
