    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.

        Oh I know, that was the era of some architects having fun with it and trying bold things as opposed to the modern style of conformist mini mansions

      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.

      Also their ‘renovations’ usually just need to be taken out or repaired to normal by the buyer as they rarely use proper licensed tradesmen, or check to see if what they’re doing is even sound for the building. I’ve seen a center brick fireplace, clearly holding up the roof, just ripped out and plastered over.

          They also built the existing garage into a bedroom only accessible through the back of another bedroom. I get building a hallway is more complicated, but unless you wanna feel like you’re going to Narnia every bedtime, it’s just not gonna be a sell point.

    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:

    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.

        Exactly. And the fact that they sunk so much into the renovation is upsetting. When I sold my house my wife and I briefly considered fixing some stuff up but it’s like… I’m gonna pay some big amount of money then charge more but if I don’t I can sell for less and sell quicker. Then again it’s not like the house was a mess. Plus this was during the craze of 2021 so getting offers wasn’t a concern.

    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…”

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

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

        Man you had some fancy McDonalds!
        But I do agree there is something about this that makes it look like a toy kitchen set.

        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)

          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.

          Idk I could see the floor with the cabinets being black maybe with an updated design. If the rest of the house was nice, I’d do it.
