unused (mostly) entry area - please ignore the clutter, it's storage until I can return some stuff. I'm thinking since the wall where the bike is is a focal point when you walk in, put one piece of art there, then get a stand for the bike and put it in front of the other wall on the left. there wouldn't really be anything else in the room. as to why I don't use it - my place is very rectangular, and so this area gets no natural light. hence I don't really ever want to be in this area, and everything I want to do is already in the other areas that do have natural light.  from the other side - again everything here will be gone except the stuff above the tile. oh god the hamper!!! i swear i'm doing laundry. i usually have this light above the door on at night as it's quite soft, I don't use those other LEDs at all, they are bright as gently caress

Because when you take clothes off to discard them most of the time you will be in your bathroom about to have a shower. It doesn’t matter if they soak up moisture; you’ll be washing them. Dirty laundry also smells. Why would you have it in your bedroom where you sleep? I’ve literally never been in a house or apartment where people keep dirty laundry in their bedrooms.

Most of them continue to live with their parents and the ones that don’t rent apartments or houses. Dorms and on campus living isn’t really a thing; except for maybe international students and a handful of kids that came from tiny country towns and grew up in boarding schools.

Our bathroom has an outside window; it gets plenty of ventilation.

I mean; we aren’t wasting water, the machine is at least 75% full; and it has variable water levels based on the size of the load (toploader). We do 6 loads of regular laundry a week plus a load of towels and a load of sheets. In winter we do a load of woollens as required. Insects that eat fabrics are attracted by the trace body odours on clothing. If you put garments that have been worn without having been washed in the closet you will absolutely see an uptick in those insects; assuming you live somewhere where they are a thing to begin with

OK, that’s pretty rad and I’ll keep an eye out for things like that as I browse. It’s been weird to me seeing all of these houses that completely lack some sort of air circulation around the stove though; when I lived on the East coast every place I lived at the very least had the crappy one built into the bottom of a microwave above it. When I started apartment hunting in Denver I was shocked by how many lacked something I’d consider so important to a kitchen.

falz posted:Curious what climate/area you're in that moths invade laundry baskets? Definitely doesnt happen here, which ill just generally say is a state adjacent to one of the great lakes. Subtropical part of Australia. It’s complicated by the fact that my dad is a nut job that changes pants daily, but he also goes through 2-3 shirts a day - occupational hazard. I wear pants for a week or so; but on any given day I’d burn through at least 2 sets of underwear and 2 shirts plus pyjamas. We also put the daily tea towels in the wash.

This discussion reminded me that I should probably upgrade my plastic laundry basket to a more elegant hamper. I missed out on buying this bamboo hamper for $25 because I thought it would be too small. If I would've just measured my current basket, I would've realized they're volumetrically equivalent.

oops forgot attachment. i am thinking about putting a sconce above the left edge of the bed. I tried putting this above the bed but I think it's not wide enough for that. It's 36" wide and the bed is 66" wide. I still want to use it on this wall though. actionjackson fucked around with this message at 04:18 on May 24, 2020 |

Is this a regional thing? 1. I've never lived, or for that matter seen in person, a bathroom that could fit a laundry hamper. 2. I've never encountered any threat of an insect infestation in my clothing, clean or dirty. 3. Dirty clothes do not emit a foul odor unless you've been doing something foul with them. This might be different in a tropical or near tropical environment, though I lived in one for four years and my hamper didn't stink. 4. Hampers belong in the laundry room / next to the machines. But if you live in an apartment without that luxury or with roommates it belongs in your bedroom. 5. People should do their own laundry once a week. Daily communal laundry is shocking unless you run a hotel. #laundrygate

Moths spontaneously generate from dirty clothes (only when they're in the proximity of clean clothes, though, obviously) just like maggots spontaneously generate from meat and flies from fruit. Everyone knows this

actionjackson posted:Josh, have you considered a media console and then getting soundbar? For example many of the BDI consoles have gaps to let remote frequencies in, and a soundbar shelf.  I think, for my current budget, it's enough to simulate a super long floating console for $280 (2x Ikea grated TV stand) and maybe even cheaper depending on what I can find.

Mr. Prokosch posted:Is this a regional thing? 1. Most bathrooms I've seen can! Australian cities are pretty low density and the overwhelming majority of people live in houses, not apartments. I will provide a handy photo of mine - for reference the laundry hamper is in the corner of the room behind the door, and there is a built in linen closet in the opposite corner next to the shower.  2. Infestation is a gross exaggeration, as is the notion in another post that they spontaneously generate themselves. I have no idea if this is a regional thing or not, but little moths that eat through cotton/wool (wool in particular) are a very real thing, and I'd say I'd notice several of them in my bedroom a month. They are drawn to the scents left on clothing by wearing them, and can be warded off by having nice clean clothing, and using a detergent with Eucalyptus or lavender oils. 3. I'm not suggesting they knock you down with stench, but used clothing definitely has a funk about it that is noticeable if you have a bunch of it in one place. It gets worse the longer the clothing is left. The funk is caused by body odour transferring itself onto the fabric, and is exacerbated when you sweat a lot. At the extreme end, 4 of my friends rented an apartment by the beach for a week. I visited on the last day. They hadn't done any laundry and had dirty clothes all over the place. The whole apartment reeked to high heaven. 4. keeping the hamper in the laundry is even weirder. That would mean you take off your clothes, then take them to a different room. If you live in a 2 storey house you're probably taking them to another floor. Most people change clothes in the course of having a shower. Showers take place in the bathroom; therefore it makes sense to keep the hamper there if you have room. The next most likely place you'd be changing clothes is the bedroom; but as mentioned there is a downside to keeping all your laundry there. 5. I just don't see how this works, unless the US has much larger washing machines than the ones available in Australia. For reference, ours has a maximum capacity of 8.5kg, and is one of the larger models available, though not the largest. A day's worth of clothing fills the machine from around 2/3 to 3/4; and as a top loader it has 4 different water levels so you can adjust water usage to suit the load, thus not wasting water. We do 6 regular laundry loads a week (my grandad thinks it's shameful to be seen doing laundry on a Sunday) plus a load of sheets (we each change them weekly) and a load of towels (my grandad and I go through one towel a week, my dad showers twice a day and usually goes through 2). Arguably we could get away with doing laundry every second day, given that we already do a 2 day load on Mondays, but my experience is that maybe 20% of the time it ends up being too much for the machine; so we just do it daily for convenience sake. There is absolutely no way you could do it weekly unless you're wearing the same shirt multiple days which would be gross. Edit: the tablecloth often gets thrown into the regular washing load as well whenever it happens to need it. peanut posted:Washing pajamas daily is absurd. Take showers at night if you're extra sweaty and stanky. I don't think you understand. There are 6 months of the year where you wake up drench with sweat. Where your pyjamas are roughly as wet as they are when you pull them out of the washing machine. There are nights when the overnight temperature drops to a low of 30c (86F) and the humidity is high.
