Could it be that I just have horrible taste? No, it's the market that's wrong! : memes

This is why you need a good friend who is not afraid to tell you you have bad taste lol.

Imagine spending 15,000 dollars to not have a dishwasher. That kitchen is trash even if you don't account for the color scheme. I don't even see a way to plug in appliances.

There's a single double-socket outlet a little to the left of the sink! Good luck :3

Am I wrong or are the cabinets way too low? How would you even fit a dish rack with dishes on the counter?

Pretty sure the text in the image is satire

[-] MacNCheezus 35 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Perhaps. I'm honestly not sure how this kitchen could have cost anywhere near 15 grand. The cabinets are all just repainted and the stove doesn't look particularly extravagant.

Maybe if the floor is real marble/granite?

[-] DoYouNot@lemmy.world 30 points 4 months ago

Pretty sure it's poured resin or the like...

[-] MacNCheezus 25 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yeah, at this point in time I basically just assume everything is fake until proven real.

And I've been around some of these house flippers, they love to brag in public about how much money and effort they're spending to renovate these houses but in private they always brag about how much money they're saving by cutting various corners and getting everything done on the cheap.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 months ago

Fuck flippers.

I found one local house for $70K that had a huge number of problems, like cracks and rust showing through the stucco exterior, broken fascia boards, upstairs that was only 6' high, stairway that came up into the upstairs bathroom etc. etc. (the house dated from around 1850 or so). I passed on it, but I was surprised to see that it sold just a few days later, and even more surprised when it was re-listed less than two months later for $195K. I went to see it again and it was a classic lipstick-on-a-pig flip: just grey paint and those nasty grey fake wood vinyl floor planks everywhere. I've never been so flat out offended by a flip before - and the thing sold almost immediately for the asking price. I feel sorry for the schmucks who bought that thing, although they probably turned around and sold it for $300K.

Ok but it’s hideous and I love it. I’m the one they’re trying to sell to apparently.

Fr, was super confused/surprised to see all the comments agreeing that it sucked. I saw it and immediately wanted it.

For marketability, it's horrendous. While I'm open to dramatic, unique, and off the wall stuff it's still not my taste.

BUT! I would absolutely take advantage of the discount I'd get on the property after it's spent over a year on the market. I also wouldn't be in a rush to remodel, but would look for ways to highlight it till the novelty wore off.

I love purple but I would hate this kitchen.

My living room walls are purple but less intense than this and offset with blues and off-white. You have to be careful with purple. It gets overwhelming quick.

lol what a waste of money.

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago

Like it's kid's bubblegum grapetastic flavor purple. It's "look what it's done to the camera's white balance" purple.

Could have worked if the purple was SO MUCH DARKER but they went with probably the worst shade imaginable.

[-] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 15 points 4 months ago

A pastel purple would have worked well too.

[-] Astronautical@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago

I was thinking a more toned down lavender would be good

[-] RealFknNito@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Pastel might have been too washed out with the purple in the (marble/quartz) rock but anything would be an improvement from this. It looks like the color you'd find at a McDonald's indoor slide.

I like it tho. Purple is a rare color.

[-] MrsDoyle@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

I kind of like it too. When I was 12 my parents asked what colour I wanted my bedroom painted. "Purple." They painted it off-white. I'm over 70 now and still have never had a purple room. My kitchen is pale grey ffs.

Off to look at paint charts ....

[-] MacNCheezus 12 points 4 months ago

Do it. Do it now.

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Bro you’re 70, paint that shit whatever you want and when you die in that house it’s the next owners problem not yours. It’s not an investment at your stage like it is people in their 30s painting everything white or grey so they don’t offend future buyers.

Honestly if the color would be less vibrant and more washed out, it'd look great. I love to the floor has purple accents as well that match the furniture

[-] UsernameIsTooLon@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Color corrected to the best of my abilities by eyeball with my phone. It still looks out of place but the original picture taken certainly didn't help

I like the purple but that's some cheap ass tile on the backsplash

[-] MacNCheezus 14 points 4 months ago

Yeah, like I said here, the problem isn't that they went too far, it's that they didn't go far enough.

If you're gonna go extravagant, don't stop halfway.

[-] AnnaFrankfurter@lemmy.ml 15 points 4 months ago

Not sure about others but I like this color scheme

[-] RunawayFixer@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

It's a definite no from me. The color scheme and that floor, just no. The stove sticking out, also a definite no.

All the cupboards also seem abnormally shallow to me, as if large plates would not be able to fit in the hanging cupboards. But maybe my perspective is confused because of a larger stove than I'm used to.

For me, that entire kitchen would have to be replaced after buying. We don't know what corners this house flipper cut though, I would not trust this place to be done well.
