    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?

        I was wondering the same thing. Maybe it’s perspective or the picture was taken with a weird lens but I’m pretty sure the cabinets are practically touching the counter.

      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?

          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.

          Yeah, no, I’m pretty sure that’s the floor. If it was a countertop, it would only work to create the illusion of a floor from one specific angle, and I kinda doubt a house flipper would go to the length of building a countertop for that particular purpose. Yeah, a picture from that angle might help attract potential buyers, but it would be immediately visible when you come in for an inspection. I’m pretty sure there’s more effective and less obvious ways to screw your buyers.

        I don’t think you can get purple marble? If you could, I can’t imagine youd use it in a floor for a kitchen like this. It’d be for a counter used as an accent piece for a millionaire’s mansion’s 2nd kitchen.

    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.

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

      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 …

        I helped a lady your age pick out a color for a room in her house, and she ended up going for a very bright peach. She loved it so much she put it in every room in her house where she didn’t have a color picked out.

        If you aren’t planning to sell in a year or two, I say pick something that makes you happy when you see it. Realtors might have a different favorite color in 5 years.

    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

      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.

        “I say your purple kitchen goes too far!”

        “And I say your purple kitchen doesn’t go too far enough!”
