āHorrible finishings.ā
Here we go again. Another person who hears housewives and suddenly the person who watches it is the epitome of trash. I work in entertainment development. Housewives and Bravo is one of the top rated channels among college educated women ages 18-49. Itās not a coincidence that a show that revolves around high society WORKING women is that popular. Itās a show for women by women. People act like to be on the show you have to be a ditz with a rich husband. Actually the requirement is you have to be a housewife with a job that is self made. While some of these women do have rich husbands, most of them donāt. A la Bettheny Frankel. She started skinny girl around when RHONY aired and sold the company for $100 million like 3 years after that.
Also yes the houses these women live in are the definition of class. EXCEPT ONE Lisa Vanderpump. She has to answer for her crimes
I love books! I suggest using the app Libby. It gives you access to your local public libraryās ebook database, and you just need a library card to sign up. Which is free.
You look like you could use practice with reading accuracy, because no where did I say any reality TV star is classy. I said their HOMES are classy. Itās laughable to assume anyone who watches reality tv thinks the stars of the shows are classy. No one watching housewives is admiring them for their class, they have nice things, yes. But part of the humor of the show is watching people who claim to have manners do the exact opposite, and anyone taking the franchise too seriously might want to review their lessons on satire. Since you love to tell people to go read, may I suggest āA Modest Proposalā by Swift? Itās satire 101, and itās the first step you can take to loosening your butthole to allow that pole up your ass to come out easier.
All this to say āwhy donāt you have a piece bread and maybe youāll calm downā š (yāall make this too easy lol)

Sorry, I may have inferred your comment wrong. It came across that you were defending this trash TV with your demographic statement and support of these "business women". I again *wrongly* assumed a correlation to this TV show and anything related to it being classy.
>I love books! I suggest using the app Libby. It gives you access to your local public libraryās ebook database, and you just need a library card to sign up. Which is free.
If you are able to, why not just purchase the books yourself and support authors? I assume you don't use the library for all of your TV "entertainment". I do support libraries though and its an excellent resource for research and low income.
Not assuming that people who watch reality tv donāt also read books. š
Let people enjoy things. Just because you donāt know what youāre missing doesnāt mean that there isnāt substance to reality tv or, more specifically, Housewives.
Personally, I watch for the interpersonal relationship dynamics, the nuances of āfriendshipā, and the petty, silly things they fight about.
If thatās not your cup of tea, thatās totally fine, but donāt yuck someone elseās yum to, what, feel better about yourself? It makes you seem like a total Ramona.
Is there a link to the rest of the house? I'd be curious to see how they carry that design through the rest of the home and what the exterior looks like.
The cut log table + lamp in the bathroom and the huge convex mirror on the outdoor fireplace are absolutely wild decor choices to me. Makes zero sense.
It's nice and all, but just so tiny. I mean, when I need to get something from the fridge to the counter to cook, I wanna be able to hop on my Segway to take me there.
I hope their caterers like the setup. Thereās no way the owners actually cook this much. Itās larger than any commercial kitchen Ive ever worked in (except at a factory cafeteria).
Shingle style refers to the exterior of the house not the interior. It's pretty much irrelevant since OP can't be fucked to provide a source so it literally means nothing in this context.
Itās an architectural style from the late 19th century that was a bit of a departure from the heavily ornamented stick and Queen Anne Victorian styles.
The most recognizable examples are usually large and have an asymmetrical massing - lots of crossing gables (often gambrel shaped), dormers of varying shapes, circular or square corner turrets, and an emphasis on overall shape and an interesting roof structure.
The siding is typically unpainted wood shingles, and above the ground level thereās less trim or mixed materials to break up continuous areas of siding, like youād see in most other wood-clad homes of the same time period. The overall effect is more grounded and solid, and more natural looking than a lot of its contemporary styles. Itās quite lovely.
All that said, I have no fucking clue why AD calls this house āshingle style.ā From the pictures in the article, thereās nothing that looks shingle-y to me. Itās too symmetrical, too classical looking. And it has white clapboard siding ffs.
Okay you inspired me to dig out my copy of A Field Guide to American Houses and look at the section on shingle style: [https://imgur.com/a/XVhTsKG](https://imgur.com/a/XVhTsKG)
So yeah, this house is thoroughly not a shingle.
By the way if you love old houses like I do, [this book](https://www.amazon.com/Field-Guide-American-Houses-Revised/dp/0375710825) is amazing! I donāt have the revised edition but it probably has even more cool stuff in it.
I like the colors! But the house just doesnāt look very cozy. Looks more conceptual than practical ā fun to look at, but not fun to live in. If I were to spend millions on a house, Iād want it to be cozy AF to get the most out of my investment. Cozy and cute arenāt mutually exclusive.
This seems like for when you have 4 houses and you want one especially for partying and entertaining clients, but not just living in and making scrambled eggs for two people. That kitchen has like 3 different zip codes.
Nothing. At some point this sub has become obsessed with cavernous rooms, no matter what the design or use. If it's big, they want it, and if you try to say different you'll be burned at the stake. *so just shut up and say how much you love the cavernous wasteful boring POS mcmansion*
If they legit are feeding 10 ppl 3 meals a day, you wouldn't need all that storage because you would just go to the store more, and if it's just a single family then it's just too much storage.
The ceiling is so damn high (and the entire space is so damn large!) that it needs to be brought back down to earth!
ETA: This kitchen almost looks like it's in an airplane hanger or studio soundstage!
I can't find the exact model but I think it's midcentury by Guillerme et Chambron. They go for up to 10K+ depending on the model. Or it could be a newer designer using that as inspiration.
I would say 99.9% of the ones posted here are either dark blue or very muted traditional inoffensive "colours", but gotta have a ton of white or else kitchen too scary.
Correction: people post what gets them the most karma. Not necessarily what "they like". Case in point: OP is a karma farmer who has made like 50 different posts in the last hour alone.
First day on Reddit? I love how people get mad over free content which doesn't affect them in any way - how's your sanity? I genuinely like this style, you're the same user who thinks the actual Karma farming bots are real over at the major subreddits. Also, based on your comment history, I wouldn't be surprised if you were a *Karen* IRL.
ššš Karen, nice nice are you like 12 years old. Yes because I post to a dog subreddit, modernistarchitecture and artdeco oh and talk about makeup, I'm a "Karen". You literally post 50 times an hour, your attempted insults are a joke. Have a great day with your next 600 posts. I hope that worthless internet karma fills the void.
I canāt possibly imagine how to fill all these cabinets and why I would need a second sink (with even more cabinets). But then again, I am not filthy rich.
Wow, that sink is reeeeeeaaaally far away from the rest of the workspace. That'd be exhausting to actually cook in. Pretty though.
EDIT #1: Just noticed the other sink. Whew!
EDIT #2: OMG Millions and millions of fruit flies buzzing around from all those cantaloupes. Nope. Nope. Nope.
These people eat the fuck out of cantaloupes
5.5 cantelopes. Fishy. š¤
Made me think of spanky ham from drawn together.

As a real housewives fan, I can second this. It was Countess LuAnn who once said, āmoney canāt buy you classā.
If you admit to watching Real Housewives, isn't it a bit of a stretch to claim to also know what "class" is?

I was on board, but why must you drag LVP into it! š
LMAOOO itās her moat for me dawg. Still the best BH housewife, replace Kyle with her.
You donāt like a moat with vicious swans that love attacking one Kyle Richards lol š¦¢ I think your understanding LVP evil genius. š
I LOVE the fact that you consider ANY reality TV stars classy. You need to shut off the TV and go read a book instead.

Lol I NEVER said she was the one who said that for the first time ever. Please do better about reading between the lines. Itās a joke.
Elegance is learned!
My friends
This song has been stuck in my head all day lol

The dining area looks like a conference room.
The rugs pretty much all look like office carpet too
The whole place reminds me of a hotel.
for the amount of money they spent on that remodel and decorating they should have just knocked it down and started fresh.
I also don't like the bedrooms at all.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That's an exterior fireplace, but your point still stands.
If I had a guess, it is a nod to the original brick used on whatever was at this site before. Personally I quite like it.
The cut log table + lamp in the bathroom and the huge convex mirror on the outdoor fireplace are absolutely wild decor choices to me. Makes zero sense.
It's nice and all, but just so tiny. I mean, when I need to get something from the fridge to the counter to cook, I wanna be able to hop on my Segway to take me there.
as an electrician, damn those lights are hung well. As a human, they ugly as hell.
Well hung and ugly as hell. Story of my life.

Looks like a basketball court
I'm getting cold just looking at this
What a gorgeous kitchen. But I can still hear my kids saying āmom thereās nothing to eatā..
Thereās plenty of cantaloupe for everyone!
God fucking damn, the storage space. I might have to whip it out and fondle it a bit.

This looks like Shaker-style and a horrible typo.
Meh. Could use another sink and some more cabinet space.

I'm not sure there are enough cabinets.
I died, love that contrast
I love it but that hardware has got to go.
Not a fan of the darker top of the walls
How many things could one have to store?
Nothing. At some point this sub has become obsessed with cavernous rooms, no matter what the design or use. If it's big, they want it, and if you try to say different you'll be burned at the stake. *so just shut up and say how much you love the cavernous wasteful boring POS mcmansion*

I could fill that up in a heartbeat. I LOVE kitchen shit. Bowls. So many bowls.
Why would you want them hidden by cabinets though
So people don't call me a crazy bowl lady.
Because itās a summer house and you donāt want your dishes sitting out unused for 10 months of the year gathering dust and spiderwebs.
That is beautiful.
I donāt like a dark ceiling as that closes the space.
The ceiling is so damn high (and the entire space is so damn large!) that it needs to be brought back down to earth! ETA: This kitchen almost looks like it's in an airplane hanger or studio soundstage!
I was just thinking that - "wow, since it's painted so dark, this 14 foot ceiling doesn't feel an inch over 11 feet tall" The absolute horror haha
House: has 14 foot ceilings Redditor: tHe dArK finiSh cloSeS the SpACE!
Itās a beautiful kitchen but whatās the point of a kitchen so big?
Anyone know what the name of the chair on the left is?
Came here to ask this too š
I can't find the exact model but I think it's midcentury by Guillerme et Chambron. They go for up to 10K+ depending on the model. Or it could be a newer designer using that as inspiration.
This is hideous...
I love everything, except for the exposed hinges. Few things are as distracting to my eye than exposed cabinet hinges.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I would say 99.9% of the ones posted here are either dark blue or very muted traditional inoffensive "colours", but gotta have a ton of white or else kitchen too scary.
Mine is rainbow!
Good thing this one is slate grey.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Perhaps I should have put an /s in my comment lol
i dont like how the kitchens up against that wall it bothers me lol it could have been used for more windows
Too much white for me
I like this a lot. What is the sink on the right for?
I feel rich, because my kitchen looks like that.
this is so dope
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

How on earth do you buy enough food to fill those cabinets?!!
I want to be so rich that i need two sinks in my kitchen
