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.
Somehow that seems even worse. Especially if he managed to spend $15k on it.
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.
Photo looks washed out/filtered so some details look weird...I mean weird besides Grimmace's moms kitchen weird.
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
