Nice purple flower

Today's new home brought me these images. Can you tell what is wrong with this kitchen?

Now, look at image two to see if you guessed correctly. There is a minimum of 3 things wrong with this kitchen. What I find is interesting, is the photographer in each of these houses for sale. Is usually thinking, am I capturing the best view of the kitchen. Well in this photo, I kind of agree. See initially I was totally distracted by the purple flower. PURPLE FLOWER........ Then you start to look at the kitchen and notice a few things. 

The red arrows are pointing out the obvious issues. The purple flower is a distraction to hide many things in this photo. Laundry in your kitchen? How is it possible to cook more than one dish on that stove? You have no room on either side of for work space. What you also don't realize is that the person cooking would now have their back to the people they might be entertaining. While still focusing on the stove, let's look at the vent. The vent was an after thought and it looks that way. The more bends in a vent causing the hood to be less effective. This vent hood I am not familiar with but majority of models need to be a minimum height about the stove and unless they seriously upgraded the fan in this hood; this hood doesn't draw the cooking exhaust out of the kitchen. So it doesn't look good and it also doesn't work. Is this really worth it?  I think more planning took to place in taking this photo than took to place to plan this kitchen. While is has pretty finishes that attracts most people initially, once a person lives in this space they know what doesn't work. Architect have the ability to foresee these issues and plan so that created designs solve problems, not create new ones.
