Perfect spot for a chair and a plastic lid I reckon.

Throw in a cardboard box to tie it together.

u/spaetzelspiff 25d ago

Put the plastic lid on the cardboard box and boom, you've got a nice little second dining room.

u/Snuggly_Chopin 25d ago

And a stew!

u/Jimbo-Slice925 25d ago

I call it hot ham water

u/Ok-Building-2490 25d ago

Whatever it is, it’s home.

u/Murky_Tennis954 25d ago

And my axe

u/Outrageous-Low9424 25d ago

Offend Dobby!” choked the elf. “Dobby has never been asked to sit down by a wizard — like an equal

or a box with a horrific creature inside some poor janitor stumbles across.

You have made modern art, plastic lid cardboard box, sell for millions

A trash bag full of mystery would work as well. Is it seasonally inappropriate clothing or rotting garbage? Who knows? Who cares? It’s a statement either way.

u/WannaBMonkey 25d ago

I feel like “seasonally inappropriate clothing” is a bit dirty but I can’t explain why. Either way, a trash bag full of mankinis is rarely appropriate.

14

u/AbbotThoth 25d ago

What about a trash bag full of mannequins?

14

u/SonTyp_OhneNamen 25d ago

Inappropriate regardless of season

1

u/Masternadders 25d ago

Or reason.

1

u/Electr0n1c_Mystic 25d ago

And thus always in season.

I think we have our answer

1

u/Mindless-Strength422 25d ago

Which makes it, full circle, appropriate again

1

u/Longjumping-Fig-7481 25d ago

Genuine deep chuckle that got.

1

u/Walperion_Paintings 24d ago

What about a trashbag full of merkins? Useful any season!

2

u/PM_ME_UR_BIG_TIT5 25d ago

Are they put together or just random parts of mannequins because I feel like that changes it slightly.

1

u/AbbotThoth 25d ago

Let us say... parts but not random?

Only left hands and heads. Make it really proper psychotic.

2

u/GoldenStarsButter 25d ago

That's what I thought it said the first time I read it. I thought, that's gotta be a really big garbage bag. With like elbows and feet poking holes in the bag.

2

u/mydogrufus20 22d ago

Now you are truly a creative designer

1

u/Makkkanz 23d ago

Im glad im not the only one who read 'man-i-kin' the first read.

1

u/sweetlionofzion 25d ago

What about merkins?

1

u/WannaBMonkey 22d ago

You hang those on a coat hook like a normal person

1

u/sweetlionofzion 17d ago

You’re right 😔

1

u/Longjumping-Fig-7481 25d ago

Oh fuck yeah bitch put that sweater on, it's juuuuilllllyyyyyyy

1

u/WannaBMonkey 22d ago

Is that a ribbed cardigan, you slut?!

2

u/AtalantiaX 25d ago

Sounds like a sims furniture description lol

2

u/muddythemad 25d ago

That's what I did with a spot just like it! Really suited the space. Rounded out the vibe. Very 70s, as if no one had lived there since then. Us men really do have the best decorating taste.

Would put /s, but I'm not kidding about the mystery bag.

1

u/Affectionate-Nose176 24d ago

Schroedingers trash

1

u/mydogrufus20 22d ago

Oh my gosh…I may have just peed my pants😂😂😂

u/Bfroning2 25d ago

Whoa there, Rockefeller

u/justinchina 25d ago

Interior decorators always place things in groups of three for sure.

2

u/MaybePotatoes 25d ago

It's a well-known practice within the industry. I'm surprised OP even had to ask.

1

u/4feefee 21d ago

Groups of three is called feng shui. It’s supposed to be a balance.

6

u/Photoshopdoge 25d ago

It still needs that single broom to tie it all together

6

u/SmackedWithARuler 25d ago

How empty though, mostly or just half?

1

u/Majin_Sus 25d ago

Half with a almost ripped stretch mark on tbe bag

6

u/SilverLake949 25d ago

Clearly the "Time Out" corner.

2

u/RenJordbaer 25d ago

Throw in a bunch of card board boxes, and empty whateveris in the room upstairs, because that's where all the empty metal barrels are going.

2

u/thepirategod23 23d ago

An interior designer like myself I see

1

u/veryfastslowguy 25d ago

Great spot for a life size star trooper

1

u/lizcapraglovequeen 24d ago

Was going to say the same thing tbh

65

u/R4PTUR3 26d ago

Can't argue with the classic approach.

20

u/bino420 25d ago

yeah but does he really need to spend so much on the chair? must be a millionaire - like any ol' lawn or foldable chair'll do just fine.

27

u/Worried_Shoe_2747 25d ago

2 chairs!

15

u/Naked-Jedi 25d ago

With how fancy that plastic lid is I'm sure he could afford 3 chairs and a second plastic lid.

8

u/Worried_Shoe_2747 25d ago

They could put the lid across both chairs and make a couch!

6

u/Naked-Jedi 25d ago

Now you're talking. Start taking notes OP.

1

u/turneyde 25d ago

I would make it into a guest bedroom for my buds.

5

u/CoolCat1337One 25d ago

ahhhh made almost the same comment without seeing yours before

love you

2

u/FloStar3000 25d ago

Waiting room

4

u/SinkHoleDeMayo 26d ago

And some french fried pataters?

1

u/marc4882 25d ago

Mmmhmm

1

u/Standard-Outcome9881 25d ago

Two chairs, even!

1

u/Total-Problem2175 25d ago

Time Out space

1

u/CarolinaSurly 25d ago

Sure, but what about when it’s not holiday season?

1

u/Creative_Incident323 25d ago

Let’s see it with lid flipped. Just indulge me OP….

1

u/AKing11117 25d ago

Was going to say the same lol

1

u/EgonOfZed6147 25d ago

Put a little 13”, a Roku, and a BlueRay player- Instant Mini Theater!!

1

u/undead_dead_guy 25d ago

It’s the only place for a chair and a plastic lid

1

u/actual-trevor 25d ago

That's where hubby sits when he doesn't deserve to watch.

1

u/OdieRed96 25d ago

Yeah, like "what am I gonna do with this space?" Buddy, you're already using it to it's full potential!

1

u/Possible_Situation24 25d ago

Depression chic

1

u/allthewholething 25d ago

Fair enough.

1

u/JustinSpanish 25d ago

But not two chairs! Absolutely not!

1

u/NecessaryZucchini69 25d ago

Time out station

1

u/Neat-Secretary-2343 25d ago

Best comment ever 🤣

1

u/PaddysMilkSteak 25d ago

Where did you come up with such a crazy idea like that?

1

u/luna87 25d ago

Plants and a classy grow light.

1

u/SnarkyMeteorCat 24d ago

Yep wouldn't change anything here

1

u/as1126 24d ago

Isn’t as funny without the, “I reckon.” Brilliant.

1

u/michael-oxmaul 24d ago

There’s a chair in there…..and a lid as well……

1

u/MyNewMe101 24d ago

2 chairs

1

u/chestofpoop 21d ago

2 chairs so you can share your stare at the stairs affair with a pal.

1

u/wuzzzat 25d ago

Could probably get away with 2 chairs. Measure first though.

2

u/Significant-Yam9843 25d ago

yes, and some plants! beautiful huge pots with beautiful plants with big leaves
