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?

Pretty sure the text in the image is satire
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?
Pretty sure it's poured resin or the like...
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.
Fuck flippers.
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.

Ok but it’s hideous and I love it. I’m the one they’re trying to sell to apparently.
Fr, was super confused/surprised to see all the comments agreeing that it sucked. I saw it and immediately wanted it.

For marketability, it's horrendous. While I'm open to dramatic, unique, and off the wall stuff it's still not my taste.
BUT! I would absolutely take advantage of the discount I'd get on the property after it's spent over a year on the market. I also wouldn't be in a rush to remodel, but would look for ways to highlight it till the novelty wore off.
Yeah, everyone has an ugly that speaks to us, purple veined marble is apparently one of mine. And that’s part of the beauty of people. Seeing this makes me more sympathetic to the people who love neon animal prints because I too have terrible taste in my own way.
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.
Well they can always take solace in the fact that kitchen would be an interesting place to do mushrooms.

Okay this is sick as fuck, though. I wouldn't pay for it but it's sweet.
Could have worked if the purple was SO MUCH DARKER but they went with probably the worst shade imaginable.
A pastel purple would have worked well too.
Pastel might have been too washed out with the purple in the (marble/quartz) rock but anything would be an improvement from this. It looks like the color you'd find at a McDonald's indoor slide.
I was thinking a more toned down lavender would be good

I like it tho. Purple is a rare color.
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 ....
Do it. Do it now.
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.

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
Color corrected to the best of my abilities by eyeball with my phone. It still looks out of place but the original picture taken certainly didn't help

Flippers are scum.
I like the purple but that's some cheap ass tile on the backsplash
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!”
Not sure about others but I like this color scheme
It's a definite no from me. The color scheme and that floor, just no. The stove sticking out, also a definite no.
All the cupboards also seem abnormally shallow to me, as if large plates would not be able to fit in the hanging cupboards. But maybe my perspective is confused because of a larger stove than I'm used to.
For me, that entire kitchen would have to be replaced after buying. We don't know what corners this house flipper cut though, I would not trust this place to be done well.

It was the highlight of the flip. Just not for the reasons you thought.

I honestly like it
I'm always curious whether or not these posts are true and it looks like the purple kitchen is real, but the content of the text is not.
Aubergine... the perfect color for a kitchen. Who doesn't like eggplants?

I wish I could do original things with my gaff but you gotta be conservative because housing is a commodity.
