Swap the metal surfaces out for bronze / gold-color-aluminium-plating maybe

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?

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.

Lol when was the last time you priced out a kitchen remodel? 5k would maybe get you the cabinets

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

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That floor would pair well with an uncontrolled structure fire.

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.
