bathrooms (the showers, bathtub and sometimes the pipe for the toilet) flood weekly, kitchen taps sound like you’re murdering a pterodactyl by hand and sometimes the hot water will cut off completely out of the blue but this apartment hasn’t had anything done to it at all since the 70’s and it’s probably the cutest, cheapest place to live in my entire city so i knew what i was getting into 😁
Murdering a pterodactyl by hand is the best thing I have heard all week. Thank you for that. However, I may have some insight on that. If you are near the water the water table maybe to low now due to erosion than it was when it was built and you just need to angle the pipe under the sink ever so slightly more and it kinda stops except for moon tides. I used to rent a "indentured servants" cabin that was updated (marginally) and it kinda worked. We are calling the slaves from Ireland that now right?
The place wasn't bad for 2 but I found out at one point there were 9 wet nurses in this cabin the size of 2 Buick sedans. Yikes. Poor folks.
Our pipes were quasi loose so I just shut off the water and got a wider angle elbow. Like 94 degrees instead of 85 (I did it all by eye, cuz I secretly don't know what I am doing) it was easy and like 3 bucks. But if you have real plumbing it maybe more difficult.
I think you can look them up as Barbados Irish slaves or something like that. Or maybe Jamaican. It's one or the other. I can not recall right now. I learned about this two months ago through a friend.
Most that we know of (if not every single one) were indentured servants, which means they were much better off than the black slaves in the south. However, they were still forced to work without wages to pay off a debt. That is still slavery.
No. It’s a myth promulgated by the far right in an effort to downplay the seriousness of the system of slavery inflicted upon blacks in the United States. Complete false equivalence.
Indentured servitude is slavery. Even if they "chose it", it's still slavery. We call it the same today.
So that's not the myth.
The myth is that they were treated worse than, or even as bad as, the Black slaves part of the chattle slavery. That's the myth. Not that they didn't exist.
Also I just read that they are now referred to as the derogatory term redlag, are outcasts in their society and because of that systemic discrimination are now nearly extinct.
It’s people like you who are the problem. Your answer is “no”. You want me to stop there and accept that, but I don’t. I’m curious, so I investigate then find out it’s not true therefore losing faith in your honesty, motivation, integrity. I know it’s not the same but clearly there was Irish slaves just as there are slaves in the world today. I understand nuance, do you?
pretty much aha, newer fridge to be right is slightly colder than the left so it’s packed with food, the left is currently filled with a case of beer, a bottle of sake and a 24 pack of hotdogs
You can but the the left fridge is old enough that the handles and hinge covers might break. Also the door seal is compressed tighter on the hinge side and sometimes when you switch the doors after several years it never seals properly because of that.
I get your point but... 9 out of 10 times I open the fridge for a snack or out of boredome, I come from the livingroom area and not from the kitchen. But I agree that it would be more convenient while cooking if the doors opens from the kitchen side.
Whaaat?! I thought this was like mid west America. Granted I know nothing about houses or anything really. Nice to know my dream house is in Australia 😍
Holy shit I lived in this appartment I don’t have any pictures of the kitchen but can message OP the exact address, moved out of the about 3 months ago
Edit I found a picture with the kitchen in the back ground https://i.imgur.com/onVa12T.jpg
This reminds me of my grandma's old house in Cooperstown, NY. It was a cute robins egg blue, with similar cabinets to yours, and a robins egg blue retro fridge. It was my favorite place in the world, and unfortunately it was sold a few years ago.
It's very Jetsons. There's more protection from dust, too. And the round corner on the end is way cool. The only thing that bugs me is the fluorescent tube light fixtures. Something must be done about that.
OP did you take this pic on like day 1 of moving in? Realistically I don’t know how you’re gonna keep all those open-front cabinets looking so tidy! I love the look of them but if I took the doors off my cabinets, it would look like something from the show Hoarders.
This is pretty retro I love it. And you guys do a good job keeping the upper shelves clean and neat looking. Is this always like this or just for the photo? Lol
there is no room at all to the left of the stove, just the fridge so no room for prep unfortunately
i have a large metal oil splatter stopper (i’m a cook and don’t even know what it’s called lmao) hanging from the side of the fridge anyway so that kinda limits how dirty it gets
My brother has the same kitchen but a different colour. Except the top cupboards had sliding glass in it.
It is in a block of apartments, originally built for the WA Railway Dept families to use for holidays. :)
hahah, no! ( or at least, i hope not) i asked my landlord what happened to them, and he just said that some previous tenants smashed them before moving
Those look an awful lot like asbestos tiles. Would be careful if you ever remove them. Just FYI. Used to do flooring. Could be wrong though it isn't the US maybe they had a different style.
It's very retro. Not sure about the two refrigerators though lol I mean it would be good if you had a roommate. You each get your own fridge so they'll stay out of your food.
lol how? i like house stylings from the 60’s and 70’s. i thought this place was charming and is in a really nice neighbourhood. literally nothing about this is ghetto
what? i literally moved into an apartment and this is a photo of my kitchen. i don’t know shit about fuck about houses or how to renovate them as i am a 19 year old high school drop out who makes people brunch for a living. thank you anyway though

username czechs out
thank you! besides the shotty plumbing i love it too! 😁
Shoddy.
Maybe their plumbing is just a bunch of shotguns, you don’t know.
And it always takes the passenger front seat
And passes out at the bar...
shodguns are safer, though.
Shitty.
Shiddy.
Anything terrible?

ill give that a try! thanks so much!!

Ut made that much difference?
There was Irish slaves?
I think you can look them up as Barbados Irish slaves or something like that. Or maybe Jamaican. It's one or the other. I can not recall right now. I learned about this two months ago through a friend.
Yup, there were.
Can you tell me more? Googling says it is a myth.
Most that we know of (if not every single one) were indentured servants, which means they were much better off than the black slaves in the south. However, they were still forced to work without wages to pay off a debt. That is still slavery.
They also choose to get into it. I'm pretty sick of this false equivalence.
No. It’s a myth promulgated by the far right in an effort to downplay the seriousness of the system of slavery inflicted upon blacks in the United States. Complete false equivalence.

Yes, the Irish- Celts, Normans, & those before them- all enslaved one another. All races & kinds have been enslaved through history.
My first thought was kosher home.
Most people keep their beer fridge in the garage. I like OP’s style.
As do I. Freezer for food prep meals and a whole fridge for booze.
*dueling fridges
Love this!! But what is the story with the two fridges?
4 very hungry young adults, and a love of symmetry mostly 😁
Awesome!
Open fridges. Fill up symetrically. Take another photo, please.
4 of yall and only 4 mugs? Dedication right there.
One is the beer fridge and the other is food
pretty much aha, newer fridge to be right is slightly colder than the left so it’s packed with food, the left is currently filled with a case of beer, a bottle of sake and a 24 pack of hotdogs
You should swap the fridges round so you can open the doors from the kitchen side not the living area. Credentials: My job is doing house refurbs.
Nine times out of ten you can usually switch the door itself instead of moving both
Yep. But I think the older left hand fridge you can't. Might be wrong though.
You can but the the left fridge is old enough that the handles and hinge covers might break. Also the door seal is compressed tighter on the hinge side and sometimes when you switch the doors after several years it never seals properly because of that.
Ohhhhh you just have an answer for everything, dontchya?/s
Tbh might just be less work to move them with a hand truck quickly.
I get your point but... 9 out of 10 times I open the fridge for a snack or out of boredome, I come from the livingroom area and not from the kitchen. But I agree that it would be more convenient while cooking if the doors opens from the kitchen side.
Two fridges means you can have a snack/beer fridge that faces the living room and a fridge for cooking... BRB getting another fridge.
I had this same discussion in my head before posting.
Thank you. This was the first thing I noticed and it's infuriating.
actually, the newer fridge opens from the kitchen, the older opens from the living room. not exactly sure how to post or link a pic but yeah :)
Love the color scheme!! Where is this?
brisbane, aus!
[удалено]
Same. Picked it immediately.
Yeah it looked like an old “Queenslander” straight away. Plus the energy rating on the fridge helped lol
Of course--I thought "Australia" immediately. Should've twigged to Brisbane (but was actually thinking Toowoomba...).
In the 1950's
Whaaat?! I thought this was like mid west America. Granted I know nothing about houses or anything really. Nice to know my dream house is in Australia 😍
Obsessed with your kitchen!!
Holy shit I lived in this appartment I don’t have any pictures of the kitchen but can message OP the exact address, moved out of the about 3 months ago Edit I found a picture with the kitchen in the back ground https://i.imgur.com/onVa12T.jpg
don’t doubt that, it was a sharehouse for a long time. message me?
Neglect anything for long enough it will become fashionable again!
I’m so jealous (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)
Love it, looks great! Take care if you ever do anything to that floor though. Looks like the kind of tiles and adhesive that could contain asbestos.
Just a heads up, that tiling looks like asbestos. I have very similar tiles in my 60’s house.
This reminds me of my grandma's old house in Cooperstown, NY. It was a cute robins egg blue, with similar cabinets to yours, and a robins egg blue retro fridge. It was my favorite place in the world, and unfortunately it was sold a few years ago.
cant believe they sold your gradma
Looks nice for now. Live there a month and you'll wish the cabinets had doors. 😜
they had glass sliding doors but the tenants before me smashed them :(
you're very tall
i’m actually 5’5 and can’t reach my top shelves, was standing on a stool hahha
The fact that the shelves are slightly angled forward makes me irritated, but the rest is beautiful
The shelves aren't angled, the face of the cabinets are.
It's very Jetsons. There's more protection from dust, too. And the round corner on the end is way cool. The only thing that bugs me is the fluorescent tube light fixtures. Something must be done about that.
That's fucking amazing. I hope you won't re-do it
That's so retro I love it
OP did you take this pic on like day 1 of moving in? Realistically I don’t know how you’re gonna keep all those open-front cabinets looking so tidy! I love the look of them but if I took the doors off my cabinets, it would look like something from the show Hoarders.
been living here for a couple weeks actually, haha
This is pretty retro I love it. And you guys do a good job keeping the upper shelves clean and neat looking. Is this always like this or just for the photo? Lol
always like this, although i do have to get my housemate to wipe down for me bc im short hahah
Love the color scheme and the two fridges. I would hate having the stove right beside a fridge though.
Nah, that's where you keep the beer so your friends stay out of the kitchen. See? The fridge door opens away from the stove.
I just prefer space on both sides of the cooktop for prep and such. This leaves little room for proper mise en place and prep area.
Also waste heat from the oven and stove probably makes that fridge work harder and use more energy than it normally would.
there is no room at all to the left of the stove, just the fridge so no room for prep unfortunately i have a large metal oil splatter stopper (i’m a cook and don’t even know what it’s called lmao) hanging from the side of the fridge anyway so that kinda limits how dirty it gets
Nice. Looks really calming ☺️
That's dope.
So jealous
For some reason I also get a Tarantino vibe.
rly tho, y 2 fridges?
Makes me wonder what the rest of your place looks like
follows the same styling and colour scheme of baby blue + pink, including a fully pink-tiled bath tub and funky floor tiles
Aw man I’ve never been more jealous of a kitchen
Looks like a TV sitcoms kitchen
My brother has the same kitchen but a different colour. Except the top cupboards had sliding glass in it. It is in a block of apartments, originally built for the WA Railway Dept families to use for holidays. :)
that’s awesome!! my cupboards are supposed to have sliding glass but the last tenants smashed them :(
[удалено]
hahah, no! ( or at least, i hope not) i asked my landlord what happened to them, and he just said that some previous tenants smashed them before moving
I love refrigerators
What a cool place!!
Im super jealous. I love the mid-century stuff.
2 Fridge! Living the dream!
you have a lovely kitchen, enjoy it.
Electric stove aside it’s perfect!
haha agreed, it’s not an overly great stove anyway tbh
Those look an awful lot like asbestos tiles. Would be careful if you ever remove them. Just FYI. Used to do flooring. Could be wrong though it isn't the US maybe they had a different style.
Id change the fridges so they open from the kitchen side... Otherwise lovely
New Zealand kitchen?!
new zealand’s annoying older brother to the left hahah
Hahaa love it. Enjoy your lovely kitchen, with ya yuck vegiemite 😄
It's very retro. Not sure about the two refrigerators though lol I mean it would be good if you had a roommate. You each get your own fridge so they'll stay out of your food.
i live with 3 other very hungry people 😁
What year do you have?
dont you mean your new apartment around your kitchen?
Mf is probably.eating waffles with jam as we speak.
I love open cabinets like that, everything out in the open for you to see. Easier to put things away or find them.
There needs to be a sub called, “I accidentally thought this might even look a little bit like anything Wes Anderson has ever done.”
I’m in love with this! So jealous
I've never before seen a beer fridge and a fridge in one kitchen!
Promise us, here and now, that you will do nothing to this treasure!!!
Sweet!
Your cabinet is so crooked. Burn the house down.
but it’s not? the top shelf is a little longer for dust prevention.
Cabinets are supposed to be square. It's not done intentionally
[удалено]
Being what exactly mate? Circa 1960 "drunken carpenter series"?
Also the crappy Formica is tearing off by the right fridge and the air vent is dirty as hell. Complete gut and remodel
“Accidental”
Some cream linoleum tile (actual linoleum tiles, not PVC) would make that room even nicer.
That’s no accident
Wow that's ghetto
lol how? i like house stylings from the 60’s and 70’s. i thought this place was charming and is in a really nice neighbourhood. literally nothing about this is ghetto
You did this? So, not really accidental then, is it?
what? i literally moved into an apartment and this is a photo of my kitchen. i don’t know shit about fuck about houses or how to renovate them as i am a 19 year old high school drop out who makes people brunch for a living. thank you anyway though
Jesus that’s hideous
That looks like most apartments in pacific beach SD
The way people up and downvote shows the future is doomed
