Could this kitchen cause our house to lose value?

[Anonymous]

I love this. The amount of storage/counter space is equal to what I have now, so I don't really see the difference. It's just set-up differently than what most of us are used to.

Target that niche market and you would have a buyer.

In the end, you only need one buyer.

Live your life as you would like it. We all could be dead in five years, so who cares about resale value in five years as compared to enjoying those five years (or more if you dont decide to move)!

This. Those who appreciate it will pay handsomely for it.

I've never seen anything like that. I'm with the PP who said they'd walk out after seeing that kitchen. It may appeal to a small percentage of buyers, but I am certainly not one.

Those cabinets look thick/deep when folder/closed. I would think they will take up much of the kitchen. I would only do this if I were in a loft.

It's very cool looking. It would appeal to a single person or couple (no kids) who, most likely, make more reservations than recipes.

Isn't that the point of a kitchen like that? to eliminate/prevent clutter?

Europeans have no clutter. I was truly amazed at how lovely and clutter-free my pals' homes were. They pay top dollar for good quality items that last. But they purchase so few items. That's their mentality - very unlike our "Walmart" mentality here.

I like it, OP, but you're bound to find criticism from this crew b/c there's just not enough space to house all their stuff!

If you sell, it will be to a single person or a couple w/o kids who appreciate keeping things simple.

And for as simple as the look it, I'm sure you're paying top dollar for that design!

Europeans hoard useless crap too.

Yes they do, I'm married to a German pack rat, who comes from a pack rat mother.

Well then, thank God I'm Italian! We hate clutter!

If you think that picture posted by OP is "taste" then I don't want to know you.

My tastes tend to run more high-end and sophisticated.

uh huh

I think this would work if the rest of the house was equally as modern..as in there isnt traditional or country themes running through the house.

that said, I'd only do it if planned to stay more than 5 years because it wouldnt be cost effective otherwise. I also think this would reduce your buyers pool. Your buyer pool would be people with an open mind

pp here.

did you really just post that? seeing as how we're now engaged in a conversation about class, would you like the opportunity to retract that?

i'm sorry you have such atrocious taste. really, i am. are you also the type of person who likes to showcase your terrible taste in music at traffic lights?
