    The color matches a favorite fanny pack I had worn forever in my youth. But I would not buy this house because of the cooking range hood is a recirculating type – no true vent to the outside.

      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.

          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.

        My thought was a teal, light green, light blue or other light and airy color to maintain the whimsy but be less jarring

          Yeah, that could work, it would really depend on the shade. I think the light blue in particular could work.

          But purple is pretty hard to work with…

      Oh shit, I forgot I had flux turned on, so I was like “that’s an old fashioned brown, but not too garish”. There’s a lot of blue in that brown…

    Being that purple is my favourite colour, I’m this one’s target demographic. Unfortunately I’m too poor to be purchasing real estate 🤷

      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.

      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.

    Corporations are purchasing unprecedented amounts of real estate, but it’s definitely the market that’s keeping this from selling.

    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.
