    What kind of psychopath puts marble floors in their kitchen? I feel like they could almost pull off the grape skittle colored cabinets if they just had laminate flooring and maybe a wooden countertop lol

      The purple cabinets could have worked if they were mid-century-modern steel cabinets or something instead of basic-bitch builder-grade wooden ones.

      A quick-and-dirty Gimp hue shift of a random kitchen pic I found online to illustrate:

          I gotta be honest: my version looked a lot better, even with the purple hue, before I turned up the saturation and turned down the value to match OP’s picture.

        Maybe a different shade to clash less with the rest of the room but yeah I can see where you’re going here.

        Maybe something more like an Ube shade

          Like this, maybe?

          (That’s the “changing hue but not saturation or value” version I alluded to in my other reply.)

            I kinda dig it, I’d probably look at other colors for the walls still but I think that shade of purple could definitely do some work in the right surroundings

      Looks like someone edited the colors to me

        Well that may be, but I stand by my comment about the marble floors. That is the floor of a demented sociopath

          It looks to be one large slab, so it’s not marble and mostly likely a photoshop job or vinyl sheet flooring which tends to be a bit squishy and slip resistant.

              I’m told (by HGTV and the like) that $15k is on the cheaper end for a kitchen. Still, this guy overpaid by about $30k.

              Well the biggest hint to it being one piece is the pattern. That just doesn’t happen naturally in marble tile and you won’t find a manufacturer to bother making something like that with porcelain/ceramic.

                OMG, that’s exactly what I was thinking! The curves and swoops of color are WAY too big to be even large format marble tiles. Plus the countertop has the same design. I think this has got to be some sort of diy paint job, but the photo quality is only just above potato so it’s hard to tell
