It was a big day at the Orange Door. We said goodbye to two long-lived items: the square coffee table and the refrigerator.
Here’s the coffee table. We’ve had it since we moved in together. Matt got it from his roommate Julia. I’ve really loved it. It’s sturdy and yet it’s very easy to pick up and place in other places if need be.
It’s strong enough to serve as a weight bench if that is what’s needed. But it’s also square, and I want a rectangle, and it has been rode hard and put away wet, as you can see from the above view.
Our new coffee table came from Dania and I like its fun lines. It’s also the tiniest bit lower, which is good when propping up my feet. And now we have a dedicated spot for the remotes: in the overhang section!
You will note, however the square coffee table is still in the living room in this picture. From the future, I can say that I haven’t yet gathered the courage to set it out on a new adventure.
We also said goodbye to our refrigerator, which has served us ably since 2007.
Due to the shelving I built, only a certain size refrigerator can fit in the space. And due to my dislike of chrome appliances, it’s mostly exactly the same refrigerator, but now without a handle to get all grimy.
We do need to figure out a method to hang that dishtowel. The grimy handles came in handy for that task.
