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
Probably not even GFCI lol
Am I wrong or are the cabinets way too low? How would you even fit a dish rack with dishes on the counter?
I was wondering the same thing. Maybe it’s perspective or the picture was taken with a weird lens but I’m pretty sure the cabinets are practically touching the counter.
Pretty sure the text in the image is satire
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?
Pretty sure it’s poured resin or the like…
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.
Fuck flippers.
I found one local house for $70K that had a huge number of problems, like cracks and rust showing through the stucco exterior, broken fascia boards, upstairs that was only 6’ high, stairway that came up into the upstairs bathroom etc. etc. (the house dated from around 1850 or so). I passed on it, but I was surprised to see that it sold just a few days later, and even more surprised when it was re-listed less than two months later for $195K. I went to see it again and it was a classic lipstick-on-a-pig flip: just grey paint and those nasty grey fake wood vinyl floor planks everywhere. I’ve never been so flat out offended by a flip before - and the thing sold almost immediately for the asking price. I feel sorry for the schmucks who bought that thing, although they probably turned around and sold it for $300K.
Lmfao oh fuck, I thought the floor was a countertop, like they were taking a pic from behind an island
Yeah, no, I’m pretty sure that’s the floor. If it was a countertop, it would only work to create the illusion of a floor from one specific angle, and I kinda doubt a house flipper would go to the length of building a countertop for that particular purpose. Yeah, a picture from that angle might help attract potential buyers, but it would be immediately visible when you come in for an inspection. I’m pretty sure there’s more effective and less obvious ways to screw your buyers.
No now that you’ve mentioned it it’s definitely the floor I was just super confused at first.
But it looks like the counters match the floor.
I don’t think you can get purple marble? If you could, I can’t imagine youd use it in a floor for a kitchen like this. It’d be for a counter used as an accent piece for a millionaire’s mansion’s 2nd kitchen.
Yeah no house would stay on the market for over a year with the reason being something a buyer could fix with a few grand.
Ok but it’s hideous and I love it. I’m the one they’re trying to sell to apparently.
Fr, was super confused/surprised to see all the comments agreeing that it sucked. I saw it and immediately wanted it.
Ah, I understood immediately how ugly it was. It’s my kind of ugly and I’d never tire of it, but I understand. Purple is a lot, especially such a bold purple.
For marketability, it’s horrendous. While I’m open to dramatic, unique, and off the wall stuff it’s still not my taste.
BUT! I would absolutely take advantage of the discount I’d get on the property after it’s spent over a year on the market. I also wouldn’t be in a rush to remodel, but would look for ways to highlight it till the novelty wore off.
Yeah, everyone has an ugly that speaks to us, purple veined marble is apparently one of mine. And that’s part of the beauty of people. Seeing this makes me more sympathetic to the people who love neon animal prints because I too have terrible taste in my own way.
Someone was really into Saints Row 2.
or Milka chocolate
That’s entirely the wrong kind of purple for that
Milka purple would look 10x better.
Rip idol ninja
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.
Like it’s kid’s bubblegum grapetastic flavor purple. It’s “look what it’s done to the camera’s white balance” purple.
Well they can always take solace in the fact that kitchen would be an interesting place to do mushrooms.
They were probably on some when they made the decision and maybe just coping now
Okay this is sick as fuck, though. I wouldn’t pay for it but it’s sweet.
Could have worked if the purple was SO MUCH DARKER but they went with probably the worst shade imaginable.
A pastel purple would have worked well too.
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 was thinking a more toned down lavender would be good
fucken barney the dinosaur purple
That or Baja Blast color. Hell coulda gone for the 90’s taco bell color scheme and it’d be fine
I like it tho. Purple is a rare color.
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 …
Do it. Do it now.
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.
The thing is though, I might want to sell before I die. I’ve got a good 20 years in me!
We need pictures when it’s done
I helped a lady your age pick out a color for a room in her house, and she ended up going for a very bright peach. She loved it so much she put it in every room in her house where she didn’t have a color picked out.
If you aren’t planning to sell in a year or two, I say pick something that makes you happy when you see it. Realtors might have a different favorite color in 5 years.
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
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 it. Fill it with plants and it could be really cozy.
You know what, you’ve changed my mind. I could totally see this being a bit more rustic and homey. Just depends on the color combo.
For me the biggest problem is the floor Like replace it with something more traditional and it might be alright

On a tricked out countertop with purple accent stone
That’s not gonna sell your home
I like the purple but that’s some cheap ass tile on the backsplash
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.
“I say your purple kitchen goes too far!”
“And I say your purple kitchen doesn’t go too far enough!”
Flippers are scum.
It was the highlight of the flip. Just not for the reasons you thought.
I think OP meant to say “highlight marker”.
