    Ngl, i love unconventional house designs like this. it hurts to look at.

    And thats exactly why I like it. I want people to enter my house and immediately get overstimulated with a headache. Every room is either a color theme or a specific style.

    “and over here we have the kawaii gamer themed room, and here we have the Punk Anarchy themed room, And to the right you will find the Lisa Frank themed bedroom…”

        Yeah imo that floor is more of a deal breaker than the overabundance of purple, but then again I am a purple enjoyer (although I prefer my purple to have more blue in it)

          I like purple, but in a kitchen it seems like a bad choice. It makes it look like a toy kitchen set, kinda.

          And there is some kind of dichotomy about the floors that is off-putting. I love the look, but its like if it can’t decide if it’s trying to be elegant or bold, and it kinda doesn’t pull off either. Like… The fake marble McMansion isn’t a great vibe, but unique natural pattern with bold colors is cool af.

      Well then it’s definitely a deal breaker 😂

      (Are dishwashers that common in the states? I’ve lived in 16 houses and never had one, when friends get them installed it’s a celebration, they’re dishwasher owning kind of people now, fancy)

        They’re only useful for parties imo. Otherwise you put your spatula (or whatever) in the dishwasher and have to wait all week for the dishwasher to fill up with all the other dirty dishes just so you can have your clean spatula back. But yes in the US they are in every kitchen.

          I like mini dishwashers, since its generally only one days worth, two st most of dishes. Rinse, put in washer, done and ready to go by the next day!

          Why not just handwash the dishes you might ask? Because my roommate will openly judge me!

          I’m a single person and my regular sized dishwasher runs 1-2 times a week. I use a lot of bowls while cooking and containers for leftovers and stuff. Pots fill the lower floor up pretty quickly. Pans, knifes and anything wooden I wash by hand. I could live with a smaller dishwasher but then it would run even more frequently. I can’t imagine a life without one.

          There are 2 of us in the house and we try to run the dishwasher every day. If you cook your own meals you can easily fill the dishwasher daily.

        They are common not only in the US. I would not want to miss it - it would seriously degrade my joy in cooking if I had to spend as long on cleaning as on cooking.

        I’ve never been to a house in Norway that didn’t have a dishwasher. Even cabins up in the mountain or old seaside cabins have them installed if they got water access. Where do you live where it isn’t common?

        I’ve had one apartment w/o a dishwasher, and that was a 100+ yo house that had been converted into apartments, and the kitchen was super small.

        Other than that, every apartment and house has had a dishwasher. Mine actually has two (second is in a basement kitchenette w/ no stove or oven).

          We had no dishwasher in our first flat, as we put a washing machine there - it was either that or carrying the laundry up and down several levels.

            Wow, a washing machine in the kitchen? That’s really odd…

            I feel so privileged having a separate laundry room and a dishwasher in my kitchen. That’s really typical for my area (US), and I’ve only had one apartment that didn’t have laundry hookups in a separate room (in a bathroom or closet).

              The bathroom was never intended to host a washing machine, as there were spaces in the basement for that. But I would not want my handicapped wife to have to carry all the laundry up- and downstairs. And we used a machine that was both a washer and dryer in one, The flat was quite small, but as a first place to live on our own, it was fine.

    So I’ve spent the last month looking for Houses. Nothing special, nothing extravagant. I came from a 1700sqft ranch with 3 bed, 2 full bath and a car port, small town, sold for about 215, and I got 135 take home after everything was paid off.

    I had to expand my budget to 350 up here just to sniff houses that aren’t in absolute disrepair on the inside and would require 50+ in reno, are 1.5 bth, or someone watched a couple episodes of Flippers and did a shittier job of “updating” the inside by putting the same cheap shitty grey vinyl flooring in several rooms.

    There was 1 house I really liked, good area, open floor plan and a great basement. Downside was all the first floor carpet needed to be tore up especially since there were large stains in one of the bedrooms and it was poorly installed so was already buckled and loose, and there were cheap vinyl tiles in the foyer and kitchen that showed their wear and had to be removed. Just under 1700sq ft listed at 340 and went over asking the day it hit the market.

    Another house, looked move in ready. 1500sq ft, with a half finished basement. Went to look at it…the house is claustrophobic, and the carpet needs to be pulled up also because of the terrible condition. The owners “finished” the basement by putting large vinyl tiles down themselves…which have already buckled and are about an inch off the ground in several places. They have a back patio which is about big enough for a Weber kettle grill and a camp chair. They’re asking 336, claimed they already had an offer when I was looking at it but I noped outta that shit. That was a week ago and it’s still on the market so either they were using BS tactics or the “offer” was for what the house was actually worth and they refused it. It’s also the smallest house in a large neighborhood.

      the same cheap shitty grey vinyl flooring

      I have never in my life hated a house product more than this shit - and I grew up in the ‘70s surrounded by the fake wood paneling and the nasty shag carpets. I don’t even understand what that flooring is trying to emulate. No real wood is light gray and comes in 6" x 3’ planks.

      I’ve been renovating a house since last year that has that shit in the living room and I’ve intentionally left it uncovered the whole time in the hopes of fucking it up so bad that I’m forced to replace it, but unfortunately it is extremely durable.

        This one particularly hurt. The house was listed at 350 a couple months ago, the price was reduced 10k, then went off the market, then yesterday was relisted at like 330 and claims “brand new flooring in 3 rooms”. Someone consciously chose this to be installed, thinking it would help sell their already overpriced house.

        Like, the salesperson needs to say “this flooring is popular among houses that stay listed for over 3 months and have their prices reduced around 25k”

          Yeah, idk why people think “gray, wood-grain” looks good, either go with wood colored laminate (looks great in my sister’s) or something like tile. This floor just calls attention to itself way too much (“look at me, I’m cheap laminate!”), and it doesn’t look good enough for that.

    I stand by that I fucking love that kitchen. Add a ton of modernist architecture that makes you think and a yard I’m allowed to grow food and replace the grass with mint and I’m in.

      It’s a weird perspective. Probably due to taking the picture on a small stepstool with a wide angle lens. That gives you the ‘height’ and then cropping the sides would not give your brain the context clues.

      I think you’re high, it looks fine to me. There’s only like a foot and a half between the countertops and the counter. It looks to me like the counter is pretty shallow because the kitchen is tiny.
