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 🤷
I don’t think Saints Row fans would go that far
But the Los Carnales would!
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.
Exactly. And the fact that they sunk so much into the renovation is upsetting. When I sold my house my wife and I briefly considered fixing some stuff up but it’s like… I’m gonna pay some big amount of money then charge more but if I don’t I can sell for less and sell quicker. Then again it’s not like the house was a mess. Plus this was during the craze of 2021 so getting offers wasn’t a concern.
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 reallyI 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)
I like purple, but in a kitchen it seems like a bad choice. It makes it look like a toy kitchen set, kinda.
And there is some kind of dichotomy about the floors that is off-putting. I love the look, but its like if it can’t decide if it’s trying to be elegant or bold, and it kinda doesn’t pull off either. Like… The fake marble McMansion isn’t a great vibe, but unique natural pattern with bold colors is cool af.
Idk I could see the floor with the cabinets being black maybe with an updated design. If the rest of the house was nice, I’d do it.
Man you had some fancy McDonalds!
But I do agree there is something about this that makes it look like a toy kitchen set.
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…
You’d just have a reputation of being such a freak tbh …
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).
We had no dishwasher in our first flat, as we put a washing machine there - it was either that or carrying the laundry up and down several levels.
Wow, a washing machine in the kitchen? That’s really odd…
I feel so privileged having a separate laundry room and a dishwasher in my kitchen. That’s really typical for my area (US), and I’ve only had one apartment that didn’t have laundry hookups in a separate room (in a bathroom or closet).
The bathroom was never intended to host a washing machine, as there were spaces in the basement for that. But I would not want my handicapped wife to have to carry all the laundry up- and downstairs. And we used a machine that was both a washer and dryer in one, The flat was quite small, but as a first place to live on our own, it was fine.
Sounds like our second apartment, which was a huge piece of crap.
I’ve seen movable washing machines and dishwashers than can stay in a closet when not in use, and then wheeled into the kitchen and hooked up to the faucet and drain as needed.
They are common not only in the US. I would not want to miss it - it would seriously degrade my joy in cooking if I had to spend as long on cleaning as on cooking.
Very common. Almost every home built in the past 50 years would have one. Not sure about apartments.
They’re only useful for parties imo. Otherwise you put your spatula (or whatever) in the dishwasher and have to wait all week for the dishwasher to fill up with all the other dirty dishes just so you can have your clean spatula back. But yes in the US they are in every kitchen.
A family with kids goes through a lot of dishes.
Ain’t that the truth. The amount and types keep changing as they grow, too.
I’m a single person and my regular sized dishwasher runs 1-2 times a week. I use a lot of bowls while cooking and containers for leftovers and stuff. Pots fill the lower floor up pretty quickly. Pans, knifes and anything wooden I wash by hand. I could live with a smaller dishwasher but then it would run even more frequently. I can’t imagine a life without one.
There are 2 of us in the house and we try to run the dishwasher every day. If you cook your own meals you can easily fill the dishwasher daily.
How big is your dishwasher? I live in a three person household and the machine runs once every day on average.
At least.
I like mini dishwashers, since its generally only one days worth, two st most of dishes. Rinse, put in washer, done and ready to go by the next day!
Why not just handwash the dishes you might ask? Because my roommate will openly judge me!
Why do you even rinse? Let the dishwasher take care of it!
POV: The Dishwasher
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.
Also their ‘renovations’ usually just need to be taken out or repaired to normal by the buyer as they rarely use proper licensed tradesmen, or check to see if what they’re doing is even sound for the building. I’ve seen a center brick fireplace, clearly holding up the roof, just ripped out and plastered over.
This made my European building standard brain spasm… how could one… that’s outright negligence…
They also built the existing garage into a bedroom only accessible through the back of another bedroom. I get building a hallway is more complicated, but unless you wanna feel like you’re going to Narnia every bedtime, it’s just not gonna be a sell point.
No, that’s outright profit.
