Today In Inferior Design Today

Phase IV-A
Moving the large shelving unit from the office to the galley allows dishes to pile on the counter instead of the sink, extending time between dishwashing sessions,
& makes the office seem lighter & larger.

Yes cynics, the hinges were reversed; didn't just remove the handles.
Now I have to train myself to reach for the left side, not the right.

Final revision: Decided to restore the bottom handle, mostly for rag-hanging purposes, no matter how aesthetically pleasing the empty white space was. (And will remind me which side to go for.)
Phase IV-B: Final

Hey! You use the same coffee filters I do.
Oh, wait. They're No. 2.

Do like your coffee maker. Just be sure NOT to use boiling water (about 95°C).

And your refrigerator magnets are too neat.

I like the jarring angularity of the crooked leftist refrigerator, but the design would otherwise be a bit weak if not for the Sex Pistols poster. That really ties the whole room together.

Also, Crooked Leftist Refrigerator is a new 12-piece bearded-hipster Americana band focused on reimagining Depression-era songs using kazoo, hurdy gurdy and harpsichord. Lyrics are reimagined and translated into Esperanto.

Your refrigerator looks about as well-stocked as mine. Except I don't buy milk anymore, just 1/2 & 1/2 for coffee.

Nah. Anyone could have a Sex Pistols poster.
What really makes it is the Banquet® Frozen Meal on the wall.

T.J.'s, you mean? Strictly No. 2s; this is a one-weasel operation; No. 4s I'd be hitting the ceiling. And that jar's just for excess juice, no brewing.

No mere poster, a fabric promo thing. (Needs a rod at the top. Might even be worth 10 15 bucks.)

After going through all that the refrigerator is going to be just as close as possible, whatever angle it takes.

No cereal, no pancakes then, but half&half? Decadent.

That's mostly a reminder never to buy Banquet® crap again. Also to avoid: Hormel Compleats®.
