With that green colour, oven placement would be very much a secondary concern.
“How to make avocado green worse.”
Add some olive. Although isn’t that guacamole?
I quite like it.
Reminds me of my grandma’s kitchen growing up. Way more character than the soulless granite countetops, stainless steel appliances, and neutral cabinets that is in vogue now.
Thank you for saying exactly what I was thinking. If they painted it and changed those ugly ass cupboards it wouldn’t be a bad kitchen.
Yeah, it wouldn’t take much - new doors and some paint. Happy days.
I feel like having everything prepped right there next to you would probably be a benefit not a detriment. The colors will eat your soul though - absolutely horrid.
ITS AVOCADO YOU C*NT!
There’s a salmon colored room at the back too. My entire house was pepto bismol pink with green rugs when we bought it, and I thought that was bad. This place might actually be worse.
I must be weird. I kinda like it. It keeps the grease and heat away from the rest of the prep space.
Really depends where the fridge is… Triangle is optimal, but if the fridge and sink both require walking around that counter it’s gonna get annoying fast.
Also lets them have a little breakfast area as well.
Seems like the most efficient use of space to me.
It looks like a good use of space if you have never really used a kitchen before. Very difficult to use in any real world cooking scenario.
There should be laws stopping people who don’t use kitchens from designing them. I see so many terrible choices like this.
Turn oven 90° counterclockwise, counter along the wall left of the oven instead of where it is now.
Bonus: You can now have storage above the counter!
The kitchen is overall hideous, but I do like that generous prep space adjacent to the cook top.
I’m with you. I kind of like it over there keeping its mess to itself. Kind of dig the green too.
Placement of the oven does not concern me, what does and always do, is that pathetic exhaust fan above it, which may or may not be connected to the outside by a duct, but in either situation, it’s a low quality system that does not even remove 50% of the cooking aroma, it’s like no one has ever figured out how to make one for home use that is effective and not sound like a jet engine. I’ve seen $2 million dollar condos that have that problem.
Ok it’s not just me. The one in my house clearly had a duct but the previous owners removed it. Now the range hood exhausts out the front directly into your face.
Maybe they had an olfactory disability and needed assistance with identifying when they were poorly cooking their meals
I love to imagine the excitement of these listing agents when they see a spike in views hahah
Naughty cooks are sent to the Oven Dungeon
It seems like it’s built for a team of people cooking. One person man’s the range, while the other person works in the main area, and they can hand things off over that big counter.
“Okay, hon, who’s prep and who’s oven tonight?”
Like playing Overcooked
yeah I sorta liked it. I can cook while someone else is grabbing stuff from the fridge or lodaing/unloading the dishwasher and we are not in each others way. Just have to prep well with stuff on the counter to the right.
This house is pretty cute (and priced within reach!), but that kitchen would annoy me…https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2429-Woodley-Rd-Montgomery-AL-36111/72810736_zpid/
Well it’s priced that way because Alabama. No one wants to live in AL.
Is it that cheap just because it’s in Alabama?
I pay like double that for a flat
Wow, houses are still cheap in AL, I remember when they were cheap here (near Nashville, TN)
I mean, it’s an electric stove that wouldn’t be all that hard to change
-
Tear out that oven, hood, and the extended counter to its right.
-
Replace with new oven and hood, rotated 90° so they’re facing into the kitchen.
3: STRIP OFF THAT FUCKING PAINT.
- Wood stain newly cleaned wood.
-
That’s an… odd… placement. I do like the counter immediately next to the stove like that, but, yeah … no.
I thought the same thing, but it needs to be shorter!
It’s the sink being so far away from the stove that bothers me. Those two things need to be together
It’s like they built the kitchen, then suddenly remembered after the fact that maybe a stove would be a nice idea.
I think doing that little loop around the counter every time you tend to the stove would get real old real fast.
Could well be that the house predates the built in oven?
There’s no bathroom.
We’ll get that fixed.
Not me fucking up my sims kitchen for the 6th time in a row
I hate when they put stoves next to walls like that. they’d be covered in oil and crap.
Tbh that counter would be a great staging area for all my little stir fry ingredient bowls
Assuming you didn’t knock your hip while rounding the corner and spilling them everywhere!
The absolute worst part about this picture is the gas stove with a fake vent hood
Maybe those are fake cabinets that are just hiding the channel for the vent?
Probably not, but it’s nice to dream I guess.
They’re not fake since they have hinges, but the wall they’re against looks to be exterior considering the placement of the window, so they might have an actual vent and some extra storage around the outlet.
It’s so you can easily get to the vent for maintenance or repairs, I’ve seen this sort of “fake” cabinet before.
Maybe but I’ve seen a lot of real cabinets above these too. The house I grew up in was like this and my GF had one in the house she was renting too. Seems very common unfortunately.
This is what I have almost always had in my place. Almost identical range hood with a cupboard around the vent tubing to give some storage for spices and shit. I assumed that’s how it was in the picture cause that’s literally all I’ve known.
I would advise against keeping spices there. Heat and humidity are bad for them. Or store most of your spices somewhere else and only small amounts near the stove.
I keep my tamale steamer/giant stock pot in there because it fits nowhere else and I don’t use it often. Also the coffee pot from my old coffee maker, as insurance against breaking the one that came with my new coffee maker. It’s an awkward space, perfect for awkward items.
It’s too small to fit anything else up there and I don’t have anywhere else to put them unfortunately
I mean, it could be a good fake and the hinges are just there to really sell it, but yeah, that seems super unlikely
Fake hoods have a vent on the front to helpfully blow the steam and fumes back into your face. This doesn’t appear to have that, so it’s probably real.
How did you know the hood is fake? Mine has a cabinet above it too but the hood duct is run through the cabinet and boxed in leaving room around it to still store things
It looked too thin to be venting. I’ve lived in places with hoods like that which just blow the hot air in your face
