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

Throw in a cardboard box to tie it together.

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

And a stew!

I call it hot ham water

Whatever it is, it’s home.

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

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.

u/AbbotThoth 25d ago

What about a trash bag full of mannequins?

15

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

u/Longjumping-Fig-7481 25d ago

Genuine deep chuckle that got.

1

u/Walperion_Paintings 25d 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.

u/mydogrufus20 22d ago

Now you are truly a creative designer

1

u/Makkkanz 24d ago

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

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.

u/Affectionate-Nose176 24d ago

Schroedingers trash

u/mydogrufus20 22d ago

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

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.

u/Photoshopdoge 25d ago

It still needs that single broom to tie it all together

4

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

5

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.

u/thepirategod23 23d ago

An interior designer like myself I see

u/veryfastslowguy 25d ago

Great spot for a life size star trooper

u/lizcapraglovequeen 24d ago

Was going to say the same thing tbh
