My inspector called our future kitchen 'a testament to 1970s avocado-colored optimism' and now I can't unsee it.

We were ready to just paint over the old cabinets until he pointed out the laminate countertops were fused to the backsplash in one solid, green, unchangeable piece, which sent us back to the drawing board to find a house with a kitchen we could actually afford to update.

That "avocado-colored optimism" line is so good it almost makes me want a kitchen I can't afford to fix.

Can we start an avocado kitchen support group?

Right? I feel that line in my soul, and also in my sad beige rental kitchen.

Ngl, @david134 my buddy had one of those avocado kitchens and the vibe was great til the landlord showed up.
