I'm a little from column A and a little from column B.

I am left bottom shelf, right mid and top.

I have one cabinet with matching sets of wine glasses, tumblers, Collins, 4 martinis. Also all the matching sets of dansk plates, bowls etc.

Then theres another on the other side with all the mismatched glasses, branded pints, plastic cups, kids cup Disney jam jar cups, etc, and random plates and bowls and stuff.

How did you get a picture of my cupboard on the left?!?

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The builder of my house is one of those nationwide homebuilders. I don’t trust the workmanship enough to fill the cupboards with breakable plates and glasses.

Kinda feel the same about the cupboards in my apartment. They are visibly angled forward and look like they could just fall down at any moment. 😬

What you want to do is get a box of deck screws a cheap drill, and a stud finder. Find the stud behind the cabinets, then put the deck screw through the top and bottom board at a 45° angle from the outside through the cabinet, into the stud. That will put about 6cm of screw to anchor through both the frame and back of the cabinet. Only way it's comming down is if the wall does.

While you're at it, replace the screws holding your door to the wall with them too, the normal screws for a door hinge are 1.5cm max, this will allow your door to sag as well as allow it to be easily knocked down. Replacing them with deck screws makes that far less likely.

There's a reason I don't want glass fronts on my cabinets.

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

Own home on the left, air bnb on the right.

[–] johnwicksdog@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

The one on the left, because I have friends and when they visit they also expect to drink from a glass.

There’s a trend to arrange everything like a sculptures in the louvre. It’s a cupboard, and it has doors for a reason.

This does not spark joy.

I'm so called out in this pic. My coffee mug area is a travesty.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you also strategically choose which lesser mugs have to sit precariously on top of the others?

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

Absolutely. It isn't true chaos. There is a hierarchy of the mugs that cannot be denied.

[–] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

But do you ever use any of them to get Travis tea?

[–] Jaimesmith@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

The left side is a collection of memories, and the right side is a collection of order. I definitely live on the left, and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way!

[–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I am on the right, the wife and kid are on the left.

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

...and everything in between

[–] FloatingAlong@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's not nearly enough coffee cups.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago

Just can't see how deep the cabinet is

[–] sauerkrautsaul@lemmus.org 2 points 1 month ago

My mugs are taking over. I've started having to take some out of circulation and store them elsewhere.

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The unusable cabinet that commonly lives above refrigerators is the ideal purgatory for lesser mugs.
