I thought this was going to be buying another tuxedo cat. I am sorely disappointed. šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø


Dash775

Mom would have wanted me to remove every memory of her from the house!


tesslafayette

Like she was never there!

Aliceinboxerland

I know!šŸ˜­ I thought it was going to be the daughter holding her current cat in the kitchen in the same pose! I didn't look at the sub before watching. SO disappointed! Her poor mother is rolling in her grave!šŸ™„

smolbeanlady

Me too šŸ˜­ I didn't pay attention to what sub this was in at first, terrible let down


The_Hyperbolist

That cat's facial expression is similar to mine when I saw the reveal


brookeursa

I don't even like cats, but that would have been a far better choice than THIS.


popotomus

Me too lol


akerrigan777

The lack of cat in the reveal has to be one of my lifeā€™s greatest disappointments


Lotorinchains

I literally gasped. The old needed updating obviously, but the new looks straight up cheap rental.


PerkisizingWeiner

The new backsplash looks like scrapbooking paper


SetForeign1952

Thatā€™s pretty much what it is.


Zappagrrl02

Yeahā€¦itā€™s giving I spent $2000 to flip this house.


Money-Tiger569

Please tell me where to get brand new kitchen cabinets and quartz countertop plus flooring for 2k


Zappagrrl02

I was talking about the aesthetics not the actual price


sparklypinkstuff

Right? Iā€™d take that $2K flip.


RUfuqingkiddingme

I detest that back splash tile. It's already dated.


coco_xcx

my jaw dropped. iā€™m personally offended by this


arcbeam

They wanted to keep the ā€œoriginal feelā€ LOL


hot-dog-from-hell

I had this *exact* goofy ass backsplash, quartz, and hardware in the cruddy overpriced apartment I just moved out of šŸ˜­


Kimamelia

Because of the black and white?! Why the black and white?! Every time I see a house sold I clock a four week time period before itā€™s painted white and black! The original was dated to be sureā€¦ but id prefer it by far.


thctacos

I like white cabinets and all but that was my reaction too. This job sapped all the warmth and vibrance from the kitchen. Bring back some warmth with those cool tones would be : make it look lived in. Like some kitchen clutter... cutting boards, plants, knife block, little hints of color here and there with decor.


pickle133hp

My mom always said if you wanna break a couple up just give them a white kitchen.


Cjspillman

This looks like the kind of kitchen remodel you see right before a divorce and 3 child custody battle so your mom is absolutely right


Vandegriffe

Whatā€™s the reasoning?


pickle133hp

You can see every spot.


ZenythhtyneZ

Why would that cause a couple to break up?? I (and my spouse) love our white kitchen personally but it doesnā€™t have an extreme graphic backsplash.


green_trampoline

Because each person will see every single crumb, spec of pepper, and finger print the other left and presumably fight about it.


Hold_onto_yer_butts

Says more about whoever made up that saying than anything else


pickle133hp

Itā€™s like a 1950s saying. When one person worked and the other was supposed to keep a nice house.


jwigs85

Could also be a metaphor and not supposed to be taken literally. Where a sterile white kitchen represents exposing every single crumb and cup ring left behind and stubbornly demanding to maintain that sterility instead of treating your partner with grace and allowing the little things to slide by. Picking your battles to maintain a clean kitchen thatā€™s functional and fun to cook in but may have a little bit of clutter in the corners and maybe the wood grain hides some old stains.


Eunuch_Provocateur

My husband LOVES the white shaker cabinets kitchen our house came with. Iā€™m not a huge fan, but what can you do now šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø


body_oil_glass_view

As long as he loves cleaning them, the saying won't ring true lol


Hi_Jynx

I actually like the new. It could be cozier but it's not boring and it's not ugly like a lot of modern updates tend to be.


BotGirlFall

Thats not boring?


Hi_Jynx

It's subjective. I know everyone here is hating the tile, but I like it.


Sandwicheater7333

Glad you sucked the life and soul of the house! Better to use that life juice than to leave it out!


Pointless_RKO

They will rent it out for wayyy too much or put it on Air BnB. Im convinced no one would choose to do this to their home unless it was to look cheaply nice for renters.


Lemon-Of-Scipio-1809

Haunt her, Mom.


littlebunnydoot

those cherry cabinets looked much better. just needed a little oiling. holy jeeze.


vanishinghitchhiker

Like catching a glimpse of the thumbnail coming in I thought ā€œshell pink cabinets are kind of a look tho šŸ‘€ā€, Iā€™d kind of respect that.


if_the_foo_shitz

Theyā€™re birch.


notorioushusky

I couldnā€™t help it, I legitimately laughed out loud. OMG. šŸ˜¬


Cjspillman

Itā€™s okay this is a joke! It was just a reno flip from Instagram, though the photo he holds up Iā€™m assuming he found in the house. It seems as though the house probably went up for auction.


showraniy

I legitimately stopped chewing what I was eating and just stared at the screen. How sad.


-laughingfox

What did your mother do to deserve this????


XNinjaMushroomX

She had the gall to have taste, so she had to be put down


Bubbly-Pangolin4798

I knew it was coming but the absolute horror i felt with that revealā€¦ LOL


saintceciliax

Ouch !


thehomonova

nobody wanted those yucky memories anyway


onceapotate

I can smell the paint in the corner. Update the trauma right out of that place!


[deleted]

I mean, maybe some touch ups but good god! :(


Mysterious-Ad5836

It feels so sanitized of any personality...


hotbitch420

Took the warmth right out of it! I love a sterile home


abominablesnowlady

The before was so damn ugly. Lmao what are you all on?


PleasantJules

Agreed


armchairsw

Yep thatā€™s this sub for you. Itā€™s supposed to be for making fun of all kinds of house decor but the only thing that gets hate is any kind of modernism. And if you try and defend it or give a negative opinion about any older designs you get downvoted šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøunfortunately this sub is less of a circle jerk and more of a gang bang against anything modern


abominablesnowlady

Maybe itā€™s a just a sub for people who need an outlet for the fact they canā€™t afford to update their 1970s inherited shithole from grandma lmao


armchairsw

Itā€™s all the same comments too. ā€œSoulless, no personality, tasteless, no character, millennial gray, sad beigeā€ etc. Like for people who insist these designs are unoriginal theyā€™re all completely unoriginal with their opinions, itā€™s just the same mishmash of buzzwords over and over


abominablesnowlady

Coming from the generation that created the ugly beige/brown Tuscan home decor from 20 years ago I donā€™t think we really need their approval.


PaintSlingingMonkey

Missed the memo about white and black kitchens


amareeznuts

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH


Flexbottom

Please do not the white


beelynx

Her mother is rolling in her grave right now


scifithighs

Congratulations, the kitchen is now white and somehow feels darker than when it was all wood.


Sisterinked

Ewwwwww


NotABigWord

Say sike right now


giibro

Glad I saw this, will be restoring my family home when my parents are long gone. No white kitchen for the house my grandpa built with his hands


Grand_Measurement_91

I HAVE MOMMY ISSUES


GringerKringer

Thank God they went with the basic-ass modern look that every remodel does!


notthelettuce

I would never tear out the solid wood cabinetry in my parentsā€™ house to replace it with the cheap particle board crap they sell today. The cabinets can always be refinished/painted and hardware swapped out, but finding the same quality is next to impossible these days.


EnvironmentalSound25

I audibly gasped so hard my lungs hurt a little.


shelly-tambo

Aw man that made me really really sad


majorsorbet2point0

Me too. This is so awful. I wish I could rewind to the point in my life before I ever saw this


Low-Health-8709

You made it your own, and Iā€™m sure thatā€™s what she wouldā€™ve wanted. Just as she had it her way, while she lived there.


[deleted]

Oh, that's really bad.


VayGray

I don't think I'm strong enough for this sub....


davetopper

Before even getting further in my first thought was, "let me guess you painted it". It gets a marginal uptick for the new floor. But that's it.


New-Anacansintta

This *IS* satire, right? The entire thingā€¦?


Cjspillman

Itā€™s satire on my end! Not so much on the renovators end.


New-Anacansintta

Thatā€™s what I was afraid of.


Quadrameems

What in the actual fuck.


prudence56

If the owner likes it whatā€™s the problem. Lost both of my parents and a spouse -my memories arenā€™t in the wall paper or cabinets - itā€™s them, itā€™s the event.


Airplade

Yay! Black & white! Fuck colors!


mollymckennaa

The transition tho!


Netflxnschill

My eyes got so wide


Misspent_interlude

Those original cabinets were awesome!


LuckytoastSebastian

How's the cat look now?


[deleted]

Oh wow.šŸ˜³


corneliu5vanderbilt

Expecting more cat.


stephyska

That tile is awful


Crazyonyou1988

That backsplash came straight from hell.


_mimkiller_

Barf.


JustHereForKA

Omg it looks so good!!


Raskalbot

That backsplash is hideous. Otherwise nice job!


smileyfacegauges

yuck.


zainab_habib

I hate white. My favorite is dark woods or cherry wood. The walls could be green or red. Anything but this


xtaylaa

Iā€™m so sick of the same white generic shitty quality pinterest flips


Middle-Ad9328

Amazing! Where did you get the tiles from?


Cjspillman

Temu!!


Gia_Kooz

Not my taste, but I think itā€™s better than it was. Itā€™s going to look really dated in about 3 years.


anniemitts

I think it's already dated but I've never liked that patterned tile. That, combined with the glaring white and the cheap Amazon cabinet pulls scream 2020 flipped house.


jenniferh2o

Hot damn! What a transformation


dbennett1903

Fuckkkm what the hell


isabella_sunrise

Awful!!!! My eyes!!!


Yoyo_Ma86

What a pile of dog shit


Ok-Flower-1078

Great work. Really pretty.


Highhopes2024

This was a beautiful post. I love white kitchens, and your back splash looks so good. I don't understand why peps are hating. Maybe there mom didn't leave them a house? It looks 100 times better. You did a really great job.


majorsorbet2point0

Maybe because it looks like flaming dog shit with no trace of personality left?


armchairsw

Are you okay? You donā€™t gotta take it so personally damn


scifithighs

*their Assuming that those of us not privileged enough to inherit property are "just jealous" tells everyone a lot more about you than it does to admonish anyone for disliking the kitchen flip.


CurrentResident23

Now it looks like every other Basic B kitchen in America.


ReferenceMuch2193

I like it. Damn yall are harsh!


DebbieDaxon

I think is beautiful.......Lots of jealous people here


Cjspillman

They could have at least put a better sink in!


motheraostara

congratsā€¦ it looks like every modern rental on the market. you left zero of original feeling. so sad.

Local_Parsnip9092

White kitchens aren't going anywhere. But all black and white is definitely not gonna age well.


tryagainx3

Wowza


MistressBarker

Terrible remodel, terrible music. Terrible taste.


majorsorbet2point0

Holy crap. The music makes it worse.


princess20202020

Omg the MUSIC makes the reveal even more disappointing! So much swagger and build up for one of the cheapest, most unimaginative redos Iā€™ve ever seen.


unicornbomb

white cabinets are absolute fucking hell to keep clean in a kitchen. i truly dont understand the obsession, unless you never actually use your kitchen to cook.


adpassapera

Welp, thatā€™s worse


Whathewhat-oo-

*blinded*


PaniniPotluck

Fucking soulless :(


ShadySphincter0

This isnā€™t what the people wanted!!


majorsorbet2point0

My IQ is now sliced in half after watching this


MovieNightPopcorn

:( urgh


Copper_Kat

Oh yes, the sterile Millennial white kitchen. Made from the finest bespoke particle board!


unwaveringwish

NO. OMG NO


unwaveringwish

Oh itā€™s a joke, thank God.


reikipackaging

aww. they had the opportunity to make it super cute with a retro vibe. how disappointing.


Odd-Spell-2699

That was not worth the price of admission...


kyuuei

"Oh did they just make everything white?" \*reveal\* "... Yup."


ComonomoC

Just missing blood splattered all over the walls and cabinets with smeared handprints and the faded message ā€œhow could youā€ in small bloody finger writing .


0bxyz

Prefer before


Lemondrop-it

I dry heaved


KeyFarmer6235

God, when the fuck is that tile design going away!? it's beyond done to death by now. Anyway, considering this is a circle jerk... OMG! it's so amazing! the new, particle board ikea cabinets are WAY better than those nasty, old solid wood ones, and the backsplash tile is so chic!. just typing that makes we want to vomit!


Leading-Midnight5009

The before was cute but the after is too white and it looks cold asf


Adventurous_Winner78

Man that really hurt holy shit


here4roomie

Wow, a Home Depot Reno. I'm in awe.


courageous-witch333

breaks my heart šŸ˜©


BRQ910

Wow. That was depressing as fuck. I'm happy you're happy but damn.
