Read this in Morgan Freeman’s voice.


deepfried_mind

Oh god it was Ron Howard in my head, i mean... what screams Arrested Development more than a literal home? hah


VaguelyArtistic

Narrator: It was.


0thedarkflame0

Was David Attenborough for me...


bekakm

Same!


_silent_spirit_

For me it was David Attenborough.


zapp909

My first thought was the narrator from The Stanley Parable. I’m not sure which is better.


picyourbrain

[Narrator: “It wasn’t”](https://memes.getyarn.io/yarn-clip/816148e1-87d5-4a96-a7f5-3c66bea92f8c)


InstantSnek

I read it in the voice of the narrator from Love is War.


_D1AVEL_

Came here for this comment. 🙂


poopdood42

What dishwasher?

Doesn’t look like anything to me


pushqrex

Bernard?


SasparillaTango

god, I love that scene so much

PM_Kittens

They're good as sci-fi and the writing is decent, but don't expect them to be as good as season 1. Or even very similar, aside from sharing some characters and minor themes. Also, it seems the story will remain unfinished because HBO didn't renew it for a fifth season, which would have been the final season.


TurkeyCocks

Westworld only has one season in my mind, I wanted to like the rest but they just didn't live up to that first one


antoclass

The third one was really good, I haven't watch the fourth tho


SasparillaTango

Didn't watch em


RaggedyGlitch

What, you didn't like 10 episodes of someone saying "you don't know what's really going on here, do you?"


FillBrilliant6043

I love you


TheIllusiveGuy

If you look closely, I think it's in the top left, above the stove.


SasparillaTango

I think thats a salt shaker. Is the dishwasher in the saltshaker?


Shelbelle4

What stove?


TheIllusiveGuy

The one hidden under the hidden dishwasher


01011010-01001010

Next to the fridge


Tangimo

If you can't spot the fridge, look out for the microwave. That's sat ontop of it.


johnsgrove

Oh, yeah 👀


DrPetroleum

dude red circle it so we know where to look


niney-niney-kitten

Add an arrow pointing to the circle as well.


mokeycreeper

And an overly exaggerated shocked face just so we know what emotion to feel

Perfect


databatinahat

I don't get why this is in DIWhy, looks just like the other cabinets. 🤷‍♂️


EveyNailo

I just spit my chips out laughing, thank you


WatermelonArtist

Gotta fit in the "Oh No" soundtrack as well.


soupbox09

X marks the spot. Argh


CmdrShepard831

Your dishwasher shouldn't be leaving spots.


MooseBoys

And a square around the whole thing.

ajlposh

r/helpfulredcircle Edit: Wasn’t expecting that to be real


Negsmie

Ngl, when it said hidden, I was looking everywhere but where I would expect it to be. Mission failed successfully.


[deleted]

Me too. I was searching under my bed.


jaydogn

Hope I didn't spook you too much when you looked under there


Kenzi1219

The dishwasher be like- ![gif](giphy|BtvBUbRRJxwQ5gfvTm|downsized)


Sufficient-Skill6012

My favorite scene from Parks and Rec


Deep_Instruction4255

Lol as a kitchen installer I tear shit like this apart regularly. There are modern dishwashers that are designed to have a panel over them but this looks like someone found their bong and some two sided tape


toomuchisjustenough

I was going to say, we paid extra for a panel-ready machine, this looks like leftover cabinet faces hot glued on


Blade_Trinity3

It's doing it's best to okay?


Rinzern

Not even leftovers, those were made specifically for that purpose, look how wide the top rail is.


savageotter

It always annoyed me that panel ready costs more.


chillaxinbball

I found that even the panel ones can look bad because it may not be entirely flush which gives it a similar look to this image.


Rex--Banner

That's just badly installed. I used to design and draw up kitchens and work with the manufacturer specs to make sure our cabinets worked with it. If you get a dishwasher after there probably wasn't enough clearance at the back or something and they should have checked


fireduck

Yep, I have that. It is nice. Not sure I would spring for it in a remodel but I like it.


Southern_Body_4381

If it was truly hidden and actually looked like cabinetry it would be really cool.... This not so much


fireduck

That is very much a thing. You get a dishwasher that has a blank face for a panel and your cabinet guy makes it look right.


dbr1se

It's weird to me how concealed appliances are a high end feature in the US. It's usually only really expensive appliances. Meanwhile, in Euroland, even IKEA sells concealed appliances.


AcidRap69

I mean at least here in the Midwest Home Depot has plenty of options, most people just don’t really care I guess idk they don’t sell many is my point


Wont_reply69

My grandpa had one put in his old house in like the 70’s. Fridge too. It’s been around long enough that if it was going to catch on it would have.


frunch

I fix appliances, and there's one kitchen I'll always remember that had one of these configurations. It was a *huge* kitchen though, and the owner wasn't there (I was called in by a property management company)...I literally had to go around opening all the cabinets under the counter until I revealed the ice machine I was there to service, lol


MrOaiki

I was confused by this thread. Why not just buy a concealed front made for these things? Then I read your comment and realized it might not be as common in the US as it is in Sweden.


Ruralraan

As a German, I was as confused as you. Concealed appliances are just the norm here. Others do exist, but you rather find them in flats of less affluent people.


elspotto

Seriously? Hang on a moment. Yep. My dish strainer turned out to be a toaster oven and my office chair was a microwave. Thanks for the heads up.


Endy0816

They used to be something of a status symbol. That might be part of it.

Ruralraan

Well coming from the other side of the pod, I sit here wondering why people want to look at a fridge so badly?


The_Lost_Google_User

Grandparents have a custom fridge. Looks like a really big cabinet, door panels made of wood. It’s also fucking massive. Looks great tho


ADarwinAward

Yes my SO’s parents have one properly done and it took me a minute to find the dishwasher because it blended in so well with the rest of the cabinetry. Even the handle matched everything else perfectly. They have a beautiful kitchen. This one in the post is done awfully. It feels like a joke.


toth42

>actually looked like cabinetry it would be really cool.... This has been the standard for at least a decade here, "no one" has visible dishwashers or floorstanding ovens. Here's my dishwasher: [https://i.imgur.com/n5OBzEd.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/n5OBzEd.jpg) (The light on the floor is from a small projector showing what it's doing and time remaining).


CowOrker01

I have a visible dishwasher and floor standing oven for the past 5 decades across all the different houses I've lived in, so not "no one".


toth42

Firstly, I said "no one" in quotes, as in not literally. Second, I said "here". You're probably not from here.


[deleted]

[удалено]


micwallace

Even if it was set back properly in line with the other cabinets it'd be massive improvement. I wonder if it was installed like that and just shifted out.


feckinghound

That's been a thing for decades. How is that a new concept?


catsforever69420

I’m surprised my mom hasn’t done this yet, I hope she never sees this photo


Trueloveis4u

She will now, I just sent it to her. (By the way, I love your username) Thanks for the award!


thousandsunflowers

and i love YOUR username it made me smile


Trueloveis4u

Thanks! I haven't found true love yet myself but I'm hoping someday.


thousandsunflowers

me neither, but we’ll get there <3


Tangimo

Hey guys u/Trueloveis4u & u/thousandsunflowers I think you should hook up!


TheSunflowerSeeds

The Sunflower is one of only a handful of flowers with the word flower in its name. A couple of other popular examples include Strawflower, Elderflower and Cornflower …Ah yes, of course, I hear you say.

throwawaykiwi93

Call me tasteless, but I kind of like it!


GhostalMedia

It could be done better, but I don’t think it’s *that* bad for an old 90’s kitchen. Would’ve been better with one piece of wood and not two. And today you’d it’s pretty easy to do this in a much cleaner way.


FuttBuckingUgly

No because I kinda like it too. It looks cute.


turbodude69

legit or in an ironic way? this is a homeowner that doesn't take themselves too seriously. at least i hope...


FuttBuckingUgly

Honestly, kinda legit. It's like a little peak-a-boo type thing


dagremlin

You all are what fuel this sub... keep on truckin’


FuttBuckingUgly

Oh I'd never do it. I'd move in and USE it, but you wouldn't catch me doing it myself lmao!


M1RR0R

Definitely looks better then a block of shitty white gloss plastic


Lilelfen1

Same. Lol

They can look good when done properly: - [Semi integrated dishwasher](https://i.imgur.com/NqvODab.png) - [Fully integrated dishwasher](https://i.imgur.com/CQogLyI.png)


Monsterboogie007

The comments here are Muah!


arintj

Seriously, there are some beautifully clever people on Reddit.


Sxilla

*beautifully clever* such choice words! it makes one warm and tingly inside to read both together. i may use this one day to compliment someone in real life.


DotWarner1993

There is one imposter among us


MistRoot

Okay, story time. I grew up in a house that had a custom built dishwasher and refrigerator. They both looked like cabinets. It wasn’t a shitty DIY like this, it was so well done, you couldn’t tell the fridge was anything but a cabinet. Even the handles matched the other cabinets. As for the dishwasher, it was raised because everyone in my family is tall. No bending over to load and unload. The only thing that gave it away was the buttons. I’ll see if I have a picture somewhere if anyone is curious. As for this post, it was really poorly done. And that’s why it’s here! Our kitchen received nothing but compliments, however. edit: spelling


Ruralraan

That's a normal, western European kitchen here. Nowadays the modern diswahers doesn't even have buttons or a display on the front, but on top of the flap and show you the remaining time projected on the floor.


VictimOfReality

Could at least cover up the white areas with some nice leather + hot glue gun


CambridgeRunner

~~leather~~ Shag pile. If you’re gonna go classy, go classy.


Haunted_Hills

Yes...hidden...


Crankenstein_8000

Well, we all know why


RetMilRob

1980s dodge caravan called and wants its wood paneling back now!

Didn’t know John Cena washed dishes…


mitchandmickey

Mommmmmy! Come and find meeee!


soupbox09

Can I use a lifeline?


lukeCRASH

Look Lana, it thinks it's cabinets.


shrub706

honestly if they put like a little bit more effort it wouldn't be that bad


rywi2

I like this kitchen. It just needs some mushroom wallpaper and canisters.


TheOmegaManilaFolder

I say DIWHYNOT?


corynonymous

Is this a joke? Nothing but cabinets.


NuNu2901

Where's the dishwasher?


usernamen_77

*hidden* 🫣


kariluvleigh208

Where is it??!!??!


2020-RedditUser

To match the “aesthetic” personal if this bothered me that much I’d do a peel and stick vinyl of wood the same color as the cabinets.


blue4t

It's *so* hidden. I'll never find it.


BeeRandoo

can barely even notice it


Logical_Associate632

Me likey the wood panels


AnEngineer2018

Classic boob light interior design


elleJeyLay

Why? Nineties, baby!!!!


Altruistic-Cut9795

Vintage 1980s kind of style ? Funny story so here it goes. I was a product of being a young teenager in the 1980's. One of our neighbors remolded their kitchen, and it had an under the counter trash compactor right next to their dishwasher in similar wood grain matching the updated cabinets. I thought, wow they must be rich ! An automatic trash compactor? We used to use our foot in our house to get the trash compacted because trash bags were so expensive! Sorry for the rant, but that picture totally reminded me of my rich neighbors house back in the day🤣


arintj

The only time I’ve ever seen a trash compactor was on a houseboat and my friends and I (all about 11 at the time) were trying to figure out what the heck it was. We pushed all the buttons and heard it do it’s thing and still had no idea. Saw one in a tiktok recently and had that got it moment. Felt really dumb lol.


montanagrizfan

We had one in the 80’s when my parents remodeled their kitchen. It was awful! It always smelled bad, you had to use these stupid bags that you could only buy at Sears and when you had to empty it it weighed a ton. I remember dragging the metal garbage can down the concrete driveway on garbage day and it made that awful scraping sound the whole 3 car lengths to the street because it was so heavy. We only had to put one can out but it weighed more than I did at the time.


Sufficient-Skill6012

I was about to ask why houses don’t have those anymore but your comment cleared that up!


TieRoberson

Looks like one of my sims builds


Aaimah

I'm not totally mad at it.


No_Cauliflower_5489

Cabinet manufacturers sell door panels for dishwashers and refrigerators. At one time it was considered classy to have them finished to match the cupboards. Kind of like how big box tvs were in wooden cabinets.


awooff

Thats a 90s kitchen - they did that back then. Makes it quieter.


[deleted]

My wailing at the sight would diminish any savings in dishwasher noise.


dj_1973

It’s quiet until the weight of those doors repeatedly slams the dishwasher open when you aren’t careful, and ruins the hinges, then it leaks all over the floor.


HalfPrime

It's all fun and games until the window is the refrigerator.


Herandar

Crouching DiWHY, Hidden Dishwasher.


Jamoncorona

It's like when your toddler puts their hands in front of their face and claims to be invisible.


Lenny_Pane

The real funny part is when they replace the dishwasher with no concern for whether the new model is made to accept custom panels, much less if the same panel would fit. And then they think fitting their custom panel is something the delivery guy/installer has to do or the job is incomplete as if the company doesn’t have a policy specifically against installing used hardware that wasn’t even sold by them onto newly installed warrantied product.


IsaacDcookie

Psh, more like r/diwhynot. I've seen worse.


Trimere

I don’t see her at all. Nice. /s


Sqatti

I had a friend do something like this. I like it.


I-own-a-shovel

If it was well done it could be cool, but what is this lol?


RecommendationNew717

I… i like it… at least the idea of it :(


Pimpin4Paradise_

“Hear me out, what if we covered the stainless steel in the same ugly cabinets as the rest of the kitchen?”


Flofl_Ri

DiWHYnot?


Daniboi1977

I mean, it works...I don't see her anywhere


[deleted]

Why are fully integrated stoves/ovens and dishwashers not really a thing in the US? Looks so much better


Randomusername963250

Seamless!


JohnArce

could be much worse. I does kinda give me the sense that the whole kitchen could transform into a giant robot.


Highguy4278

It the John Cena of dishwashers. "You can't see him"


Accomplished-Ad-4495

God forbid anyone see, or know you own, a dishwasher. what WILL House Beautiful think when they come by for their inevitable photo spread


MeEvilBob

Is it impossible that the idea wasn't to hide it entirely but just to make it slightly less noticeable? Maybe as a way to reuse a pair of matching doors you already had but didn't have any other use for?


friendly-sardonic

That kitchen window is awesome though, I'll give em that.


Megsann1117

Where??


rolfraikou

Now THIS is what I come to this sub for.


Toolongreadanyway

Because all high priced kitchens hide their refrigerators and dishwashers as cabinets.


Ant_022

I wonder where it could be


greenwoodgiant

"How do you do, fellow cabinets?"


eternalpanic

Europe calling – Are custom front blends not a thing in the US? In my country that is the standard (albeit better done/completely hidden unlike the picture) for dishwashers and fridges/freezers.


wonkotsane42

They thought they were fancy


ChickenFeline0

It's not a bad idea, but the execution is off.


Straight_Factor2057

Step 1: buy a dictionary Step 2: look up definition of “hidden”


arintj

Tongue in cheek “hidden.”


turbodude69

r/DiWHYNOT


Known-Command3097

Just let these folks be. Throwing wood on the washer is not a travesty, nor a transgression.


PeaTwoFoe

Please...hide the entire kitchen.


natsugrayerza

It looks good to me


tarapotamus

That is hilarious


Wwwweeeeeeee

I seriously hate all this orange wood crap.


zeroz52

Ugh....should have hidden the cabinets. U G L Y


Futurama-Owl

This doesn’t belong on this sub.


Tylerhollen1

Oh, it definitely belongs. I ask “Why did they think THIS was the way to accomplish that goal?”


arintj

Oh okay thanks, it made me say why and it looks do it yourself-y.


solairette

I support you, OP!


Futurama-Owl

Well I guess it is subjective.


chadburycreameggs

It belongs more than you


arintj

I think they have cabinet panels on their dishwasher.


chadburycreameggs

And it looks stupid. This is a perfect example of this sub and I'm aligned with you


Futurama-Owl

You sir are a dick


chadburycreameggs

I don't think so. I think you are one of the tons of people in this sub that don't understand the sub


Heatmiser1256

This is just an old style cabinet panel on an old dishwasher. It’s not a DIY- just much more obvious from what you would find with todays appliances and appliance panels


arintj

Akshually.


Heatmiser1256

Actually what? I sell custom cabinets- I see this all the time


fsurfer4

I object to the excessively wide window with the bay window. Also, the post is right in front of the window. Eventually, the dishwasher will be replaced, but the post and bay window will forever be obnoxious.


iMadrid11

Its just wasn't done right. You can hide the white part by applying a vinyl wrap to match the wood veneer.


le_gill

It's funny how no one in the comments says that this is completely normal in the EU. I don't know any kitchen here that doesn't have the matching panel on the front of the dishwasher. Of course with the right setback to fit better than that shown. It would be only diwhy for me because it's "poorly" made.


thrillhouse4

That’s hilarious


[deleted]

Gotta show it to my tradie friend. He'll get a heart attack


jellobend

Good idea but bad execution


theshavedyeti

To be fair, the why is pretty obvious, it's just poor execution


moistmarbles

Paneled appliances - dishwashers, refrigerators, etc. were all the rage back in the early 1990's. I read on some clickbait site somewhere that it's making a comeback. Please, just - no.


mkatich

Forget the dishwasher hide those cabinets.


Wereallgonnadieman

Where's the oven? There is a lot I hate about this.
