Only two people in this demographic:
A 71 Hemi Cuda is my dream car, but there is no way I'd have that kitchen
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
If you keep all the existing appliances and build your own cabinets while already having all the requisite tools and do absolutely everything yourself, it's doable, but tight. Shits expensive these days.
Lol when was the last time you priced out a kitchen remodel? 5k would maybe get you the cabinets
It was admittedly a while ago, but pre-built cabinets are like $200 a piece so there's maybe $1500 worth of cabinets there. It's not a huge kitchen.
Unless these idiots bought custom made cabinets, didn't bother doing anything to the left of the stove, and then painted them a horrible color.
Those are definitely custom to fit that space and accommodate the sink/hood. Though why there's such a big stile against the wall left of the range is beyond me. Shit planning and taste.
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.
2-3K for paint?
You’re getting reamed by your painter if he’s charging you 2-3k for a small room like that.
How the hell did that kitchen cost $15,000?
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.
On the drugs that convinced them to do this.
Seems legit to me. Pretty much any kitchen reno is hard to keep under $10k. It adds up soo fast
I see no before picture so I assume the marble flooring and countertops. Plus the mosaic backsplash tiling maybe? And it's entirely possible those are brand new cupboards.
Not sure of that is real marble, but here's a random PSA anyway:
Don't put marble anywhere close to anywhere you might spill anything remotely resembling acid. You can literally etch that stuff with OJ.
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:
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
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 know several people who would pick this house just for the kitchen..
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.
Corporations are purchasing unprecedented amounts of real estate, but it's definitely the market that's keeping this from selling.
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.
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.
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..."
yeah this goes hard, can't lie
no its the market who is wrong
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.
P1mp1n ain't easy player.
