[Okay, let me preface this post by saying I am a traditional
girl who likes square rooms. I know and understand 90° angles in a house.]
This house is contemporary. I guess that means the design calls for asymmetry.
To that end the architect designed it with all sorts of odd walls that come
together at unusual angles.
It’s……weird.
For example, in the laundry room the wall suddenly turns a
corner and forms a small triangular space they made into a counter top. It’s
next to the sink so I guess it does serve a function but they put a regular
square cabinet under the sink wasting all that space under the counter.
I suppose they did this because it backs up against the
master bath. And the master bath is a plethora of odd walls at all sorts of
strange angles.
We took down the plant shelf (that was so 1980’s) and that
has helped quite a bit.
Which finally brings me to the point of this post……...
In taking down the plant shelf Husband had to open up part
of the wall. When I happened to look inside the first thought that popped into
my head was, “OMG!!! Look at that rat’s
nest of two by fours! I was certainly right when I decided against becoming an
architect. All that math would have killed me!!”
....or did the Builder just find somewhere for all his offcuts of wood! (just sayin')
