A 71 Hemi Cuda is my dream car, but there is no way I’d have that kitchen
You have to be plumb crazy to own a real cuda, and that kitchen is a plumb crazy qualifier. Come back when you’re ready to fully commit to the complete cuda club experience. Maybe one day…
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.
Yup, safe colors and cheap materials is key to flipping.
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.
This made my European building standard brain spasm… how could one… that’s outright negligence…
No, that’s outright profit.
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.
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 when was the last time you priced out a kitchen remodel? 5k would maybe get you the cabinets
It was admittedly a while ago, but pre-built cabinets are like $200 a piece so there’s maybe $1500 worth of cabinets there. It’s not a huge kitchen.
Unless these idiots bought custom made cabinets, didn’t bother doing anything to the left of the stove, and then painted them a horrible color.
Those are definitely custom to fit that space and accommodate the sink/hood. Though why there’s such a big stile against the wall left of the range is beyond me. Shit planning and taste.
Custom cabinets and they couldn’t even get the top doors to match the bottom
With custom cabinets they would be able to fill that gap on the left and also use smaller filler for the bottom cabinet left of the range. For pre-fabricated cabinets they usually only have size increments of 3" so you end up with big fillers. The sink area upper cabinets look like a standard size and the hood cabinet is actually wider than the hood so it definitely wasn’t made custom to this hood.
How the hell did that kitchen cost $15,000?
The floor is also marble. And purple marble.
To be fair it also looks like a photoshop job.
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
That floor would pair well with an uncontrolled structure fire.
That’s probably fair. I’m not an interior designer.
I LOVE the floor tbh but yeah maybe just like purple highlights on the cabinets instead of the entire thing. It’s giving me circa 2005 decorating my sims 2 home.
Who’s gonna buy it? Prince?
Who? The former artist formerly known as?
The cabinets aren’t so bad, paint isn’t difficult. But the floors and countertops. Oof.
See I’m the opposite. The cabinets are an absolute eyesore, but the floor looks awesome. I would love to have a floor like that
Personally I like it, but I am well aware that I have tacky taste.
When did Pimp my Ride start doing houses?
410 days ago, + or - 6 days
lol, actually laughing. Thanks for that!
I’m getting a Costco meets Paisley Park vibe.
I know several people who would pick this house just for the kitchen…
I’m absolutely one of them. It’s a bit wacky, but not non functionally so. My taste leans simple but bold
Is it wrong that I kinda fuck with it?
If you’re wrong I don’t want to be right
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…”
You’d just have a reputation of being such a freak tbh …
BUHHUHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA
GOOD.
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.
FYI, modernist architecture is mostly stuff from the 60’s.
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
Apart from the eyecancer-inducing color scheme - I cannot see any dishwasher.
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)
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.
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.
Very common. Almost every home built in the past 50 years would have one. Not sure about apartments.
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).
We had no dishwasher in our first flat, as we put a washing machine there - it was either that or carrying the laundry up and down several levels.
Wow, a washing machine in the kitchen? That’s really odd…
I feel so privileged having a separate laundry room and a dishwasher in my kitchen. That’s really typical for my area (US), and I’ve only had one apartment that didn’t have laundry hookups in a separate room (in a bathroom or closet).
The bathroom was never intended to host a washing machine, as there were spaces in the basement for that. But I would not want my handicapped wife to have to carry all the laundry up- and downstairs. And we used a machine that was both a washer and dryer in one, The flat was quite small, but as a first place to live on our own, it was fine.
Sounds like our second apartment, which was a huge piece of crap.
I’ve seen movable washing machines and dishwashers than can stay in a closet when not in use, and then wheeled into the kitchen and hooked up to the faucet and drain as needed.
They’re only useful for parties imo. Otherwise you put your spatula (or whatever) in the dishwasher and have to wait all week for the dishwasher to fill up with all the other dirty dishes just so you can have your clean spatula back. But yes in the US they are in every kitchen.
A family with kids goes through a lot of dishes.
Ain’t that the truth. The amount and types keep changing as they grow, too.
There are 2 of us in the house and we try to run the dishwasher every day. If you cook your own meals you can easily fill the dishwasher daily.
How big is your dishwasher? I live in a three person household and the machine runs once every day on average.
At least.
POV: The Dishwasher
no its the market who is wrong
yeah this goes hard, can’t lie
This is PhotoShopped, but…
If it were real, the problem isn’t the purple. It’s the white.
I would like my house in dark mode please
Partly. White for the countertops is fine, white on that floor… isn’t.
But the purple is definitely an issue as well, go with browns or pretty much anywhere on the black/white spectrum for cabinets. IF you go with anything else, you really need to be careful with the rest of the kitchen design.
Also, there’s no reason to add a white backsplash on a white wall.
Fair. But walls are easy to paint, but the purple cabinets limit your options a bit.
If the cabinets were some normal shade (like dark down or black), something in the tan range could work.
Not everyone loves brown. There are some other decent options. Banana yellow, lime green, navy blue, burgundy etc could all look good on flat, synthetic cabinets. It’s when you’ve got the wood grain and/or beveled cutouts that people gravitate toward natural wood colors.
Oh absolutely. But when you go for something a little more “exotic” like lime green or burgundy, you need to be careful how you coordinate the rest of the kitchen. Basically, you get one exotic color, and then you get everything else to match that.
Brown isn’t necessary, it’s just really safe, so if you’re doing it for someone else (e.g. a flip, or you preparing to sell your own house), it’s a really good option that most people won’t immediately hate.
