I don't think Saints Row fans would go that far

But the Los Carnales would!

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:

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I’m now convinced they just hue shifted the image for memes.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 8 points 6 days ago

The black on the marble looks very purple so I'd hazard to say there's a high chance of that

[–] kjo@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Now the floor is covered in ... brown skids 🫠

Those cabinets in brown are hideous. I'm not a fan of the purple, either, but at least it has character.

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

[–] BalooWasWahoo@links.hackliberty.org 8 points 6 days ago (4 children)

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

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

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

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.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] andxz@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Nevermind the purple, although it's ugly as hell, but having that dead space in the corner doesn't leave much room for prep work, since both ends are also basically useless for anything you actually do in the kitchen except perhaps as temporary storage. This leaves you with exactly one place to actually prep on, and it's not exactly a large one either.

We also know full well that the corner would be full of appliances as well, which leaves us with even less room.

Shitty kitchen all around, imo.

[–] Mohaim@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 days ago

But the cabinets are too low to fit appliances under them.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

I don't know if I would actually want it but it's definitely pretty.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

that was very definitely predictable

[–] ntma@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

Nice kitchen. Mine is orange.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Swap the metal surfaces out for bronze / gold-color-aluminium-plating maybe

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?

[–] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Lol an IKEA kitchen now a bit bigger than that is 10k€ without placement and composite counters and no floor. Prices have over doubled in the past 5 years. + floor and actual stone countertop is easily 15k

We are renovating our entire house and doing everything except pouring concrete slabs and our tile roof ourselves and the kitchen this big + and island is 15k€ at good value places, slightly better places are 25k+ with placement.

5k is an absolute pipe dream. Wholesale materials alone without appliances would be around 9k (assuming decent quality cupboards and real stone)

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

That assumes you're starting with new as opposed to reclaimed materials. I saved a bundle by taking someone else's old kitchen cabinets and reusing them.

But, as I said in another comment, I am an old person who used to buy gas for less than 25¢ per liter and do everything myself so my prices are skewed.

[–] Sundial@lemm.ee 64 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

15k is a very normal price to flip an entire kitchen. Not even counting the appliances. Just the flooring and cabinets.

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
