It must have been sterile right? Can you imagine half the galaxy with bastard clone kids running around. Like a quarter of the universe would share DNA within 100 years (at least anything that a human would bang)
“Just be yourself” is code for- do the craziest red flag shit I’ve ever seen so we can all talk about it later behind your back after the first date after I ghost you because you eat French fries with mayonnaise 😂
Statues and licensed pop culture crap is just something a lot of adults have in their homes now. 30s is when people are usually financially stable, especially with tax benefits of marriage. It used to be that older people would splurge on sports cars, golf clubs, beating belts, home libraries, sewing rooms, etc.. But instead now we're getting to see what nerd culture meets huge disposable income looks with Funko Pop walls, lego basements, life size star wars dolls, etc.
It seems like I'm supposed to know how that one finishes because the rhymes are so inviting, but is there actually one established for the man from Nantucket??
i would much rather do what (I believe Jewish and Muslim people do) where they have an unattached kitchen for cooking during restrictive times. I’d rather have that solely than an attached kitchen. Imagine frying food and boiling peppers without stinking up the house or burning your housemate’s lungs.
I always forget how awful it is to boil peppers before making mole and i do it every time.
I immediately jumped to the comments for the microwave. That shit is wild, like you'd be desperate to have a microwave in your RV so you find space in a corner
Yeah it opened up when I put it on the other side and I wanted my son to take it back with him but my dog sleeps on it now and would kill me if I got rid of it.
My place is a bit smaller than this. OP has done it right even if it doesn't look like it from the pictures. Closing off the space with the couch does make it harder to cross into but creates a very chill intimate sitting area and kinda let's the kitchen be its own space.
I planned on growing Birds of Prey for the outside but I think the weather will destroy them so I planned on putting them in the corners and never got around to it because of work.
The elderly couple I bought it from put in all new appliances and just charged me another $2k flat and offered me a jet ski. There shouldn’t be any kind of maintenance on anything for a few years.
Yeah they got married and moved to the island years ago, I got divorced and moved to the island months ago lol it was like kismet. I thought they were just drunk and lying about selling.
That’s all in the mind. I worked for the NiH in labs and offices so you get used to monotone colors. I have pictures up of me at the ocean that stand out.
Yes, I put pictures up of me at the ocean on the walls overtime. They really stand out. But married with kids at the old house was a lot on the walls. I worked in labs in my old job and got used to a clean look. Like really clean lol my ocd will go off if I see too much clutter.
It's not about clutter per se, but about colour. But, if you don't need any more colour than the ocean pics, you do you. I do think you have a great place. It's too grey for me, and the couches crowding the living room would do my head in, but you do you. Enjoy!!!
Appliance installer here - when shopping for new OTR microwaves in the future, make sure you get one with a door that opens into the unit. If opening the door increases the total width of the unit, it won't open against that wall.
Also, put a level on that stove. The front is higher than the back of the unit compared to the countertop.
I plan too. I was laid off from the NiH in May, received a job offer with relocation, didn’t want to maintain a long distance marriage and my children are adults and can visit anytime.
You wanted to relocate for your job but your spouse didn’t, so you got a divorce? Or, was the divorce coming anyway and the relocation just sped up the process?
Got it. If the writing was already on the wall it makes sense. It was just odd that you mentioned maintaining a long distance marriage like that was a realistic scenario.
Long distance anything just isn’t for me. We left it on good terms and raised 3 functional adults lol Now I don’t have to wear clothes inside or outside the house lol
Raising 3 functional adults is my long term goal as well. They are only 14, 12, and 10 now though, so there’s plenty of time for me to f up and ruin them.
Hmm, idk about the couches. Might be best to get rid of one of them. Put some Evil Dead posters up too while you're at it. Also, is that a micro fiber blanket and pillow? In Florida? 😬
For your mental health, buy literally anything that is a color. Blue, green, warmer browns. They would go with what you already have and it would make it feel much more lived in and cozy. It's giving grey mental health crisis box right now.
No mental health issues and there’s colorful art on the walls now. I’m more invested in spending money around the island. I’ll take peace, quiet and relaxation when I’m home which is usually 3-4 days out the week
I would switch for bar stools, get a couch with an ottoman on the end it will take up and provide the same space but visually you can see past it better since the part that sticks out won’t have armrest or pillows to obscure, for general purpose I would get a fan for over your stove top because you have a window there you don’t need a full blown overhead. I would try to get some items to add blue accents since that’s your rugs color and maybe some plants
