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 🤷
NGL I would love that kitchen.
But what does the rest of the house look like.
that was very definitely predictable
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.
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.
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.
Yeah it seems like I can't get anything done for < 6000 anymore. I can't imagine a whole kitchen costing only 15
Lol when was the last time you priced out a kitchen remodel? 5k would maybe get you the cabinets
2-3k to paint existing cabinets, new hardware 4-5k epoxy floor and countertops 4-5k new appliances 3-4k left for drywall, paint, lighting, trim, framing, hvac, plumbing, electrical.
She could have gotten more for less but not by much when you are hiring it all out. Doesn't even look like she touched the tile backsplash, which would be 1-2k more.
I remodel kitchens in the midwest, and we would charge a lot more than that for this size kitchen. She clearly didn't spend for a designer, though.

The floor is also marble. And purple marble.
Man, I love me some purple/violet, but this just ain't it
Although I don't hate the floor. With something complimentary going on it would actually look good imo
15k on what exactly? They just painted the wooden doors of the old units purple.
I don't think Saints Row fans would go that far
But the Los Carnales would!
Personally I like it, but I am well aware that I have tacky taste.
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:
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.
I know several people who would pick this house just for the kitchen..
Apart from the eyecancer-inducing color scheme - I cannot see any dishwasher.
Corporations are purchasing unprecedented amounts of real estate, but it's definitely the market that's keeping this from selling.
This is PhotoShopped, but...
If it were real, the problem isn't the purple. It's the white.
NGL the epoxy floor and countertops look sick.
But it's just way too much purple for a kitchen, or any room really
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.
I stand by that I fucking love that kitchen. Add a ton of modernist architecture that makes you think and a yard I’m allowed to grow food and replace the grass with mint and I’m in.
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.
