I guess I'm unfashionable - I still buy books to read them (and then pass them on). I just can't fathom books as furniture or purely for decoration. I often wish I could have taken psychology so I'd understand the motivation behind all-white decor & furniture (where's a modern Freud when you need the answer?).

Simple. Failing eyesight. Older folks like yours truly choose light colours and bright lighting. I should take psychology though to understand the rationale behind modern "invisible" doors.

I fully agree with that books should be read and passed on, but unfortunately it is difficult to get rid of unwanted books these days, especially paper backs. We have a local book exchange booth, and I see how many books gather there, without ever being taken by someone, and quite often those are yesteryears bestsellers. With several copies of each of them. So if people use those unwanted copies to build a bed instead of cutting down a tree for it, I think it is useful up cycling.

8:29 Cover the floor below it with a PVC backed drop cloth, a sheet of plastic, or if it small enough, open an umbrella under it, with the handle pointing upwards. Shut off the light. Spray your chandelier with Sparkle Plenty/Windex/One part distilled white vinegar and three parts distilled water. Distilled leaves no spots. If you have a chandelier with cupped areas, you will need to blot them dry.

Bread warmer in radiator is genius. Your socks and jocks (clean) would be toastie warm when you get out of the shower too.😊

James Lileks wrote a book called "Interior Desecrations" - all about bad interior decorating from the 70s. One of those conversation pits is in it. Absolutely hilarious.

The wrought iron open twisting cabinet pulls, I use a toothbrush and dawn dish soap in warm water. I live in the original dust bowl with two Persian type coated cats. Dust and flocking is a way of life. The pebble sinks, use a foaming tub and tile cleaner and a vegetable brush.

10:02 I'm guessing the coil is made of light metal or something similar that holds its shape. So you can position it and the hose exactly where you want them, and they'll stay there, while the hose by itself obviously wouldn't.
@KualinarКүн бұрын
The coil is steel. Spring steel. It allows you to move the faucet around when washing the dishes. Mostly found in restaurants, but, may also be found in some houses.

a company brought out a duvet with a fitted cover saying you never need to struggle to change cover. i point out "no you will just struggle to take it to the laundrmat to use a giant machine to wash and dry it every time it gets stained"

There are some parts in this world that have minimum dust build up. I was in the U.K. 20 years back in Leicester, on Melton Road, where I spent about 6 months. I was actually surprised that my house remained clean even though it was facing the main road. Although I agree most items in this video are terrible.
