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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
