#3: All drawers in such corners should be built like that. Far more storage space than two regular drawers -- which would keep getting in each other's way anyway.
ReplyDeleteI like the concept of the "lazy Susan" drawer, but it's not practical. By it's very design requirements, it would have to be made shallow in order to fit the proportion of a standardized counter depth. This would severely limit the items that you could put in it (such as larger cooking utensils, etc.) from front to back (as most people would).
ReplyDeleteAlso due to it's curvature, drawer organization caddies (silverware trays, etc.) would be impossible to find (unless custom made) that would fit it correctly; this effectively would minimize it's overall usable space leaving little "pockets" that serve no real practical value; curves and corners don't work well together!
You see these same design flaws and constraints on a larger scale in "round" homes; unless furniture is custom made to fit the curvature of the walls (try putting a rectangular sofa on a curved wall!). You loose valuable real estate with those pesky 'unusable' areas that are only fit to just sit a potted plant in. It's what killed a lot of the architectural styles from Victorian through mid-century modern.
So - nice concept - but almost useless in day-to-day operation and practicality from a kitchen storage solution perspective. There are solutions out there to keep standard drawers that are perpendicular from banging into each other in daily use (such as interlocks, which only allow one drawer to be open at a time).
Just another example of a "solution" to a problem that no one ever asked to be solved. Nice, pretty, gimmicky, but not practical.
Looks like a little inbreeding going on in that Victorian family, just sayin'
ReplyDeleteI never knew this about women’s hair during the Victorian Period. My grandmother would have been a child during the Victorian Period. Only on rare occasions did I see her preparing her hair. As a child I was AMAZED how long it was. She was from an affluent family. I wonder if the video has any bearing as to why it was so long.
ReplyDeleteI do believe tornadoes form from the sky down, not from the ground up.
