And the appliances look like cheap knock off stainless steel. Waiting for this fad to die...

Looks very DIY

Ouch! You people are brutal.
The kitchen is new to me and I like it!

I think it looks great. I'm betting this is a condo with an efficiency kitchen or it's in a very old home that moving walls was not an option. My guess if it's an older home is there is a butlers pantry and/or a root cellar for storage.

This would have looked so much better with lighter cabinets.. Cabinets with inbuilt appliances. Everything about this kitchen screems 'Put me in a big kitchen"... This does not work for me at all..

If you love to cook, but live in an area like NYC, San Francisco, or somewhere else with small places and exorbitant home prices, it's not always possible to add kitchen space without making the living area the size of a closet. I'd prefer a double sink, but if it came down to a choice between sink and stove....well, I can wash things in batches, but I can't make the stove have more burners!
