am i high or are those cabinets just like really short? or does this kitchen have like 10ft high ceilings.
I think you're high, it looks fine to me. There's only like a foot and a half between the countertops and the counter. It looks to me like the counter is pretty shallow because the kitchen is tiny.
that might be the case, something about it is off and messing with my brain. I would still be willing to bet those are high ceilings though.
Nice kitchen. Mine is orange.
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?
Lol an IKEA kitchen now a bit bigger than that is 10k€ without placement and composite counters and no floor. Prices have over doubled in the past 5 years. + floor and actual stone countertop is easily 15k
We are renovating our entire house and doing everything except pouring concrete slabs and our tile roof ourselves and the kitchen this big + and island is 15k€ at good value places, slightly better places are 25k+ with placement.
5k is an absolute pipe dream. Wholesale materials alone without appliances would be around 9k (assuming decent quality cupboards and real stone)
That assumes you're starting with new as opposed to reclaimed materials. I saved a bundle by taking someone else's old kitchen cabinets and reusing them.
But, as I said in another comment, I am an old person who used to buy gas for less than 25¢ per liter and do everything myself so my prices are skewed.
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.
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.
Personally I like it, but I am well aware that I have tacky taste.
I know several people who would pick this house just for the kitchen..
