Ugh, why?

[dr.girlfriend]

I understand the trend for rustic beams and all that, but look at this big-ass tree they put in the middle of one of the ugliest new builds I've ever seen:

[ellipses84]

That’s really ugly and doesn’t even go with the style of the rest of the kitchen. I feel like it could get gross over time and be impossible to ever clean, too.

[WOT?*]

That is fugly. Beyond ugly.

[auroraloo]

It looks like the house was impaled.

[tacokick]

That is freakish looking. I would feel like eventually bugs would make it their home.

There is tree painted white with bark still on it supporting the upstairs in the basement at my dad's house. I've wondered if they removed more trees at some point when they installed the metal supports later, but my great great great uncle that would have known died before I wondered. That house turned 100 this year. It remains an oddity. This is ridiculous.

That looks ridiculous! And even without the tree I'm not a fan of that kitchen; just something about it seems weird or off to me.

I agree.  It looks like a bad DIY kitchen design.  Nothing seems proportional and nothing seems to fit together style-wise.  

Like even if the kitchen was some super super (autocorrect added a second “super” so it must be necessary LOL) rustic kitchen where the tree somehow might work, it’s still way too big.

[auntie]

If a tree falls in the woods does it need to become a design element in a suburban tract kitchen?

And WTF? Is happening with the wood strip below? Is it like a before and after? Who wore it best? Why?

[cmeon]

A little closer to the camera and they could have hung tire swings from it- who needs stools? Has trading spaces done that yet?

[hbomdiggity]

That is hideous.

[thatgirl2478]

OMG that's awful!!

IMO it's that the backsplash/counters/floor don't coordinate / work together.

And, oh, the wood...

[mrs.jacinthe]

Whut. Whoo boy, I've seen some questionable things, but that's really fugly.

Poor house, what did it do to them?

[calico]

That's a new build? Good grief, how fugly.

[ssmjlm]

You need to follow "pleasehatethesethings" on IG. She posts pictures like that one where you think "who thought that was a good idea?" Texas apparently gives her a lot of photos from their real estate listings.

I had a hard time processing that it was a new build. It looks like a bad remodel of the kitchen in a condo we rented in the 80s, (probably built in the 70s).

It's amazing that something brand new can look so dated and wrong.

[bhnumbers]

oh wow.

WOW. looks like a big turd across the ceiling. and everything else about the kitchen makes me itch.

[LanaLang]

Why is it resting on a shelf? What kind of insanity is this?

It's not even fashioned to look like an actual ceiling beam. It's like they just sat it on a shelf in the kitchen for safekeeping.

And there's actually a purpose in removing the bark on interior beams. Y'all know there has to be some big ass bugs behind that bark.

[treedimensional]

WTF
