Welcome to /c/DiWHY!


DiWHY (pronounced D-I-Why) is a community to share DIY (do-it-yourself) projects that leave you questioning the meaning of purpose and practicality. Have you ever seen or attempted a DIY project that seemed like a good idea at first glance, only to realize it was a total disaster later? Share those moments here!

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

[–] Dud 8 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] grue 8 points 4 months ago

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.

[–] Dud 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Cort 2 points 4 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah, it looks photoshopped
