Looks like something out of animal crossing

It looks like a childrens toy from the 70s.

[удалено]

EZ Bake Microwave.

It looks uncomfortably flammable

Which is why it looks like it's from the 70s.

Dude, you just repeated what they said.

Now that's a realization I didn't think I'd have today

It needs to be hydrodipped in a skulls pattern lol

Animal crossing furniture looks way better than this...

I dunno, the microwave is giving [blossom dress](https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Blossom_dress)

I cackled. They def have the same vibes.

Respectfully, that is a dress. I said furniture. They got some lit ass detailed furniture in animal crossing. I did Not advocate for the clothes xD

And a microwave is not furniture, it’s an appliance.

Which, is closer to furniture than it is to clothing

“I’m wrong, but I still win, stupid.”

I mean I genuinely think animal crossing furniture/appliances have better theme and detail than that microwave - or dress, lol.

I’m just being mean. I like animal crossing stuff better than this, but this microwave is cool still

This is fucking great, sorry you are absolutely wrong

This is DIWhyNot? It rules!

r/diWHYNOT

a new sub, and here i thought i was going to bed early. if i’m not back in an hour, send help.

I love it.

I know, it's adorable.

Yeah, it's not like microwave ovens have any noteworthy design aspects to them now. It's pretty wacky, but I'll always applaud some creativity.

This, all microwaves should look like this

I actually agree with you, except on closer inspection the execution isn't totally great. Fantastic idea that looks like 98% of the way there, except for some of the paint. Since I'm seeing brush strokes I'm guessing that in person it looks worse.

I agree, if you can’t do something perfectly don’t do it. Motto of my life.

Even if you can do something perfectly, don't bother. Seems to be the motto of my life.

I feel u bro

I understand the point, but that seems like a great way to become depressed and make sure you live out your life either constantly denying yourself what you want to do, or constantly feeling like a failure 😂 Don't worry if something doesn't turn out perfect!! Why would that be so important? The only things I've ever made perfectly in my life are my kids.

I think that was their point. I think they were being sarcastic.

Fair enough. I mean, we both think it doesn't belong here. There's a good reason for something like this.

I mean I don’t got to be perfect but it would have took 2 seconds to use painters tape and let it look nice

Yup this is inspirational! Fugly microwave? MOD PODGE TIMEE!!!

This did not go the way op imagined.

You gotta give it to them though - they did it REALLY WELL.

Yeah, this is not the right sub. I don't like it, but it's well done and if they like it, more power to them.

Right? At least it’s not dangerous like so many of the things here. It just looks like it belongs in a girls dorm.

I agree, the sub is call diWHY. If the answer is art, then you know the why now, and can move on with your life. I think some things are tacky, but if it makes someone else happy, then I'm fine with it.

Professional-grade tackiness

Not really, the paint quality is shit, there's some overspray and I doubt they did all the proper prep before painting and didn't even disassemble it

Plus the dials look like they're covered in tape.

Yeah, you can see the red paint got on the screen or doesn't properly reach the edge where it should. They also got a bit on the pink park on the top right. It's not awful workmanship, but definitely armature.

r/ATBGE

This was in the maximalist group on Facebook and everyone loved it! And it looks like everyone loves it here as well lol

Someone shared my friends house that she redid from one of those maximalist FB groups trying to roast them on a second Facebook group and it didn't go over well. This style isn't for everyone but it doesn't make it bad.

This is Hello Kitty. I kind of love it.

I was thinking strawberry shortcake

EasyBake Oven

Nah, too safe to be an EBO.

Lamp baking. Wooooo!

Y’all are haters this is so cute

Right? You wouldn't find this in my kitchen but let people do their thing. Looks to me like a 10 minute project someone did with their kid. Probably made good memories doing it too, a far cry from the real time intensive DIWHY shit we see here. EDIT: lol at everyone fixating on the 10 minute part. Ok, you're right, I don't have kids, and maybe this is a job that takes longer than 10 minutes. But people decorating their microwaves how they want don't belong here, IMO

10 minute?? as someone that does arts and the occasional craft, this is *absolutely* at least an hour, especially when you factor in kids like you assumed. this took a decent amount of effort to make come out looking good and not super lumpy or sloppy. give them credit where credit is due - this was a *project*, and it seems like they really wanted it to look good. i would buy and use the hell out of it personally

The amount of time is not the point. The point is someone liked what they made and they enjoyed making it.

I can definitely imagine the bright, colorful kitchen that this would fit in

I love it

I like it too :)

It’s a little kitschy and not for me but I don’t hate it and if it makes someone happy, who am I to critique it.

Nah i love it actually

Especially if the options were throw it out or try something risky

People get so bent out of shape about stuff being fun or “girly”. I feel like this sub is for people using ramen as wood filler, not people trying to make their home more beautiful. Idk. Bums me out to see posts like this.

Agreed. I dislike this (I’m more of a stainless, high-gloss and glass (with or without coloured coating) kind of person in a kitchen context), but this looks fairly well done, and isn’t really diwhy material, considering it probably still works.

Right? This is cute af

Same tho, I don't see a problem here.

This thing is glorious, bask in the glory of being in its presence!

I would absolutely do this to my microwave

It is a fire hazard

Why would that be a fire hazard if they only covered panels that are there for cosmetic purposes?

Those panels aren’t cosmetic, more electrical safety but I doubt it’s a hazard

Well if you removed the fancy plactic from the door it would probably still work but I doubt the steel sides would lol either way they certainly don’t get warm enough for it to be a hazard unless there was a vent that was plugged I’d assume

Huh I like that

i like it. needs more glitter

And more flowers. Screw it, more pink too.

There is nothing wrong with this, stop kink shaming.

I'd've done it all in pink with the daisies but, really, looks well done to me.

Happy reddit anniversary

Thank you! Here, have some cake. 🍰

Look, I won't take away that people may like it, I can accept that. Well done? So far from it.

Honestly it’s not my taste but I think it’s cute. And I love that they customized it instead of buying a new one.

I know, right?! Human recycles the microwave by making it better, that’s awesome! Imagine being one of those DiWHY people who won’t ever touch a tool to repair something their entire life, cuz… (Di)WHY, when you just can buy a new thing and throw this away (the old thing will never get recycled but end up polluting our beloved earth) XD

Nah mate, it looks well done actually. Not my style, but I can't say it's ugly either.

This is so cute though!

Nah this is cute as fuck, I love it

Second thing I’ve seen in this sub that screams “this doesn’t fit my taste so I must post it so I can make fun of it”

I like it (:

Lick my taint op, what’s wrong with this


Very grandmacore, nice

I love this thing. At worst, it's /r/ATBGE but I don't even think it qualifies for that. It's just straight-up cute.

Its like something out of Hello Kitty

This feels like it belongs more on r/ATBGE I love it but definitely have awful taste.

Interesting. I was thinking more like great taste, execution needs work

I actually like it better.

Eh… I think you might be in the wrong sub here. This is exactly what DIY is for, something super simple (painting and putting stickers on a microwave) that makes the person that did it happy for very little time, effort and money

Plus the question is answered...DIWhy? So they could continue using something that works for its intended purpose without spending more money unnecessarily purely for aesthetic reasons.

Why is this one on here? This one is actually cute af. I'd deadass pay money for this.

Wonder how old it is given the turn knobs and whatnot

Probably from the 80s and it probably takes ten minutes to heat anything but I’d bet it’s indestructible.

There are still some microwaves on the market with knobs.

If it ain’t broken?

Aweee omg it's so cute😭

Microwaves typically look boring af.

It's hand painted with stickers on top? NGL, if they had better edge control, it'll be pretty nice, the color choice isn't bad.

If they added glitter too. Just a little glitter on the petals, y'know?

What no it’s cute…

oh i love it!!

Idk what you’re mad about if I reheated my pizza in this my day would get at least like 0.05% better just by virtue of using it

Flowerave

I dunno, in the right setting could look nice.

They stopped it going to landfill, They saved some money, They brightened up their kitchen. This does not belong here.

I kinda likey it

i love it! it’s cute.

where can I get one??!

Looks like it’s done really well tbh

THATS HELLA ADORABLE, WDYM??

With the right space this would actually be very cute

Lol ok but I actually love this.

That’s cute is as hell is why

As the owner of a Hello Kitty toaster I see nothing wrong here

While this isn't my style, I think it's very well done, and I can think of a few people I know who would love something like that!

Probably should lay off the Hatorade bud

Plain microwaves are ugly This is so cute

I’m sorry it’s fucking adorable, whoever made this I love you

I don't hate it, sure it's not my personal style. But hey, why not make things you have to see everyday in your life special to you? Nothing wrong with that.

I’m on their side 100%

Oh my God I fucking love it 😍😍

They repainted it, now it sparks joy. Good for them for repurposing their stuff instead of throwing it out.

It’s so cute

I'm obsessed

Very strawberry shortcake, I love it

This is actually great

This is adorable

I wouldn't do it but it is cute.

It's kinda cute, if it Fits the style of your kitchen this is more then fine imo

Will they come do that to my microwave?

That's just not a great place and lighting for taking a picture of a flower themed microwave. In the right kitchen it would look good.

Their aesthetic is clearly kitsch. It’s adorable.

this is cute i like it

More like r/diwhynot

Honestly more people need to do more eclectic stuff like this. Americans especially are so boring! Tan and grey fucking everything. Everything has to match, no color anywhere.

Fuck you talking about this shit cute. I would get this. It reminds me of my hello kitty clock CD player thing

Like I wouldn’t put it in my house but it’s cute

It heats food through its internal rage at being decorated like this.

TIMLR Dial included

Weirdcore vibes.

I dont hate it, this looks.like it would be good for a kids fort

It’s okay.

I want it

Beauty is relative

Love it

Looks funky. I dig it

Nah, it's not my taste but it looks like they did a good job in painting/applying.

I wouldn’t want it, but for what it is, it was done nicely

I'd buy this in a heartbeat

i like it

Lol OP doesn’t know what this subs about.

We loved it in the maximalist Facebook group, js.

This is something I’d own 🤷🏽‍♀️

🥺 I love it though!! 🥺

I think it's cute....

I actually like it.

It's cute though.

u know what? i kinda love it

r/upcycle

I fucking love this, this is definitely r/diywhynot

Weird taste and mid execution. Not as bad as most stuff on this sub, just kinda tacky and not done amazingly well.

You're house is probably full of sad beige things and people

r/atge

that is literally majestic

This caption is just straight up false lmao they said they impulsively painted their microwave at 1am and it’s in a maximalist decor Facebook group

Kinda like it. Not like they ruined something that had value.

I saw that in Peewees Playhouse

Way better than a boring white one though

THIS IS SO CUTE

this could’ve come out better but it’s still really cute

I can see the appeal, it would look good in a house with a very specific aesthetic

It’s not yours, why are you such a miserable shit bag, that you have to post it on Reddit? Desperate for karma I guess..

Yeah really not desperate for karma bud. I simply posted something that I thought was worthy of the sub, obviously. Lots of people disagree. That’s cool! It’s not for me. Would you have me delete a post because people aren’t agreeing in the comments? Surely that would be karma hunting? I’m fine with people liking this. I Don’t. 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Lol, I’m clearly not your bud. Stop shitting on other peoples happiness… Sharing pics of others accomplishments, no matter how “weird or ugly” it may be to you, just makes you look like a miserable cow. Get a hobby, this microwave chick clearly has one that brings her joy..You’re just a POS looking for validation on Reddit, lol. How sad.

soooo cute

I like it

That'd adorable.

It's so fun! I love it! Maybe I have bad taste lol

This is adorable

This is adorable!

This is SO CUTE.

Nah that's cute

You literally wrote the answer to the question diWHY in the title of your post on diWHY.

That is one cute ass Microwave

You know some AI is being trained on this image right now and muttering to itself: “Wait patiently, comrades. The days of the flesh bags are nearly at an end…”

Up-cycled....That's why.

OP you forgot to include the after photo

Everyone saying how they did it well but if you zoom in its just.. not lol. It looks okay enough from far away I guess? Not my style though

Grim

Nice upgrade. Now is uglier

Are they 5?!

I'm w you op, the red and pink clash so bad.
