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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

I like the purple more tbth...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

They installed full height cabinets under a chase... There's not enough room under them now.

Now the floor is covered in ... brown skids 🫠

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

The market: 💩

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Those cabinets in brown are hideous. I'm not a fan of the purple, either, but at least it has character.

I don't think Saints Row fans would go that far

Apart from the eyecancer-inducing color scheme - I cannot see any dishwasher.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (13 children)

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)

[–] UndercoverUlrikHD 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I've never been to a house in Norway that didn't have a dishwasher. Even cabins up in the mountain or old seaside cabins have them installed if they got water access. Where do you live where it isn't common?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Regional Australia. I know they're common in new builds, but not the kind of landlord special flips I've lived in obviously 😂.

I've had one apartment w/o a dishwasher, and that was a 100+ yo house that had been converted into apartments, and the kitchen was super small.

Other than that, every apartment and house has had a dishwasher. Mine actually has two (second is in a basement kitchenette w/ no stove or oven).

They are common not only in the US. I would not want to miss it - it would seriously degrade my joy in cooking if I had to spend as long on cleaning as on cooking.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Wow, that kind of blows my mind to think about, cleaning is often the longest part of preparing and eating food for me. I hate doing it and I will choose what I'm cooking and how to cook it based on the dishes in prepared food to wash up.

My partner once asked why the carrots I cook are always chipped in a rustic style ....because I'm not dirtying a chipping board for a carrot, I fruit ninja that shit.

But I've come to find the cleaning up therapeutic, it makes me feel like the process is over, it's a sense of completion and a job well done.

That said, it's only therapeutics when it's my dishes, and I've got a clean kitchen. If I'm working around, or expected to deal with someone else's dishes, I'm having a protein shake for dinner, because I will lose my temper at inanimate object trying to cook in someone else's mess or having to do 2-3 loads of dishes so I can eat 1 meal.

NGL the epoxy floor and countertops look sick.
But it's just way too much purple for a kitchen, or any room really

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I like the countertops... in the picture. The floor looks like I'm back in a mcdonalds in the 90s.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Yeah imo that floor is more of a deal breaker than the overabundance of purple, but then again I am a purple enjoyer (although I prefer my purple to have more blue in it)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

I like purple, but in a kitchen it seems like a bad choice. It makes it look like a toy kitchen set, kinda.

And there is some kind of dichotomy about the floors that is off-putting. I love the look, but its like if it can't decide if it's trying to be elegant or bold, and it kinda doesn't pull off either. Like... The fake marble McMansion isn't a great vibe, but unique natural pattern with bold colors is cool af.

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

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..."

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

But the cabinets are too low to fit appliances under them.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

suddenly craving ube

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

Being that purple is my favourite colour, I'm this one's target demographic. Unfortunately I'm too poor to be purchasing real estate 🤷

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

I don't know if I would actually want it but it's definitely pretty.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

NGL I would love that kitchen.

But what does the rest of the house look like.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

that was very definitely predictable

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

In the Australian housing market, that would go for $1.5mil easy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Those appliances are ancient. Consider upgrading.
