This is why you need a good friend who is not afraid to tell you you have bad taste lol.

Imagine spending 15,000 dollars to not have a dishwasher. That kitchen is trash even if you don't account for the color scheme. I don't even see a way to plug in appliances.

There's a single double-socket outlet a little to the left of the sink! Good luck :3

Am I wrong or are the cabinets way too low? How would you even fit a dish rack with dishes on the counter?

Pretty sure the text in the image is satire

[–] [email protected] 34 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (6 children)

Perhaps. I'm honestly not sure how this kitchen could have cost anywhere near 15 grand. The cabinets are all just repainted and the stove doesn't look particularly extravagant.

Maybe if the floor is real marble/granite?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure it's poured resin or the like...

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, at this point in time I basically just assume everything is fake until proven real.

And I've been around some of these house flippers, they love to brag in public about how much money and effort they're spending to renovate these houses but in private they always brag about how much money they're saving by cutting various corners and getting everything done on the cheap.

Ok but it’s hideous and I love it. I’m the one they’re trying to sell to apparently.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Fr, was super confused/surprised to see all the comments agreeing that it sucked. I saw it and immediately wanted it.

I love purple but I would hate this kitchen.

My living room walls are purple but less intense than this and offset with blues and off-white. You have to be careful with purple. It gets overwhelming quick.

lol what a waste of money.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Like it's kid's bubblegum grapetastic flavor purple. It's "look what it's done to the camera's white balance" purple.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well they can always take solace in the fact that kitchen would be an interesting place to do mushrooms.

Okay this is sick as fuck, though. I wouldn't pay for it but it's sweet.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Could have worked if the purple was SO MUCH DARKER but they went with probably the worst shade imaginable.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (2 children)

A pastel purple would have worked well too.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

I was thinking a more toned down lavender would be good

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Pastel might have been too washed out with the purple in the (marble/quartz) rock but anything would be an improvement from this. It looks like the color you'd find at a McDonald's indoor slide.

I like it tho. Purple is a rare color.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago (4 children)

I kind of like it too. When I was 12 my parents asked what colour I wanted my bedroom painted. "Purple." They painted it off-white. I'm over 70 now and still have never had a purple room. My kitchen is pale grey ffs.

Off to look at paint charts ....

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Do it. Do it now.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Bro you’re 70, paint that shit whatever you want and when you die in that house it’s the next owners problem not yours. It’s not an investment at your stage like it is people in their 30s painting everything white or grey so they don’t offend future buyers.

Honestly if the color would be less vibrant and more washed out, it'd look great. I love to the floor has purple accents as well that match the furniture

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Color corrected to the best of my abilities by eyeball with my phone. It still looks out of place but the original picture taken certainly didn't help

I like the purple but that's some cheap ass tile on the backsplash

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, like I said here, the problem isn't that they went too far, it's that they didn't go far enough.

If you're gonna go extravagant, don't stop halfway.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

“I say your purple kitchen goes too far!”

“And I say your purple kitchen doesn’t go too far enough!”

Flippers are scum.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (7 children)

Not sure about others but I like this color scheme

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

It's a definite no from me. The color scheme and that floor, just no. The stove sticking out, also a definite no.

All the cupboards also seem abnormally shallow to me, as if large plates would not be able to fit in the hanging cupboards. But maybe my perspective is confused because of a larger stove than I'm used to.

For me, that entire kitchen would have to be replaced after buying. We don't know what corners this house flipper cut though, I would not trust this place to be done well.

It was the highlight of the flip. Just not for the reasons you thought.

Lol I could probably get that kitchen for like $8000. Who the fuck did they hire?

I honestly like it

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

I'm always curious whether or not these posts are true and it looks like the purple kitchen is real, but the content of the text is not.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Aubergine... the perfect color for a kitchen. Who doesn't like eggplants?

I wish I could do original things with my gaff but you gotta be conservative because housing is a commodity.
