I don’t like to read too much into things – but my imagination can take me places…
Personally, I think this decoration as seen on The Kitchn is looking really freaking odd.
Is no one else seeing that the rope-lamp hanging from the beam looks a lot like a gallows where someone forgot to tie the noose and attached light bulbs instead?
How do you know you’re visiting a bachelor’s dwelling and not just a minimalistic one?
The minimalistic decorated living spaces tend to look a bit more coherent. Also, the one flower pot does look like it’s mean to be there and not put randomly down on a massive speaker because he was expecting guests.
Question to said bachelor: How long have you lived here?
Answer: Four-five years, maybe?
I would have thought he had moved in a month ago.
