Indolent Bastard posted:I think people forget what your kitchen looks like. See, just extend that idea out to a larger space. If having crap out is A Bad Look, why is it suddenly acceptable just because you justify it with more countertop? And I agree with the slice of countertop by the stove, I'd rather have one of those thin euro-fridges (or those more sensibly-sized american fridges from the 50s) but alas the space was built for what appears to be a family of jabba the hutts throwing buffet soirees

Ebola Dog posted:You can get specific drill bits for ceramic tiles which I would use over a standard masonry bit at least to get through the tile before switching to the appropriate bit for whatever is under the tiles, anything to reduce the risk of the tiles cracking is a good idea. you can probably use a glass drill bit in a pinch as well The Bloop posted:So what's with those appliances or storage units on the counter? ones a water boiler which stores.. boiled water, so you can't put it away the coffee grinder I probably could, but I'm unsure what I'm going to do with it, might switch to just using the manual grinder or replace it with something else, but yeah I could probably do something better there

peanut posted:We go through a liter of milk a day and gallon jugs don't exist here so I buy 3 or 4 liter cartons every shopping trip. Empty cartons are cut and flattened and used as disposable cutting boards What makes you think that the outside of a milk carton is sanitary to start with, can be cleaned to a sanitary state and doesn’t leech random chemicals into your food? Gross, why?!

Hey thread, how about some bad corporate/commercial interior design? This is the elevator in my doctor's office building and I hate it SO loving MUCH. The same carpet is in the hallways, but the hallways are done in a solid muted gray that doesn't compete with the pattern.

Multi-track barn door kitchen cabinets. 4 tracks at least, all sliding back and forth in front of and behind each other.

Isn't side sliding upper cabinet doors that an old actual kitchen style? I've seen that multiple places here in old houses in Scandinavia, especially in smaller summer houses.

Unrelated: If anyone has any cool images of what you'd consider a "cozy space", please post them. Can be homes or other spaces like cafes or businesses or whatever. Just want to see what people consider to be "cozy".

Barn doors are just pocket doors for people who are too lazy to tear out a wall to install them.
