Ow! Ma Tête! Ow!

Feb. 25, 2011

Pictured in this caution-low-headroom kitchen, according to the listing:

Eat-in
Wooden floor
Stove
Refrigerator
Microwave oven
Toaster
Kettle
Coffee-maker
Closet
Cookware

Which isn’t shabby, considering the entire apartment is roughly the same size as a minivan (or, as they say in France, un mïnîvan). But it lacks a certain flair. Oooh… wait… let’s read it in its original French:

Kitchenette
Parquet
Plaques de cuisson
Réfrigerateur
Four micro ondes
Grille pain
Bouilloire élèctrique
Cafetière
Placard
Vaisselle

Ooh la la! But wait a sec. “kitchenette” is French? Are Raisinettes actually a traditional French bonbon? Do les filles et les garçons put rockettes in their shots du sling?

NFSWednesday: Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk House!

Dec. 22, 2010

It’s a tuk-tuk! No, it’s a house! No, it’s a star-gazing platform! No, it’s a delivery van! What on earth am I looking at? All I know is that today is Wednesday and this is Not For Sale. Click on the thumbnail to see more photos, but I can’t promise you’ll be any less befuddled.

Found by: it is a mystery. Which isn’t a clever nom de ‘net; I just don’t know where this came from originally. Anyone want to claim it?

EDIT: Linda Jones found more information. More here.

Loveliest comment, in response to a comment that you’d still have to find a bathroom, by kristen55: Apparently you didn’t notice the bathroom, conveniently located between bins 6 and 7.

I can smell the miso soup, mildew, and sandalwood incense all the way from here, but I don’t care — these are beautiful. And, because this is Wednesday, they are Not For Sale. At least not as far as I know.

Maybe they’re sitting in someone’s front yard, just waiting for the right person to come drive them away, off on an adventure. Maybe that person is you. Have a good trip!

Loveliest comment, by Anodean: Yeah, there they go – merrily shedding flowerpots and loose shingles into following traffic. Oops, there goes the old water butt. Way to stick it to the Man, wealthy antique hippies: window glass is just a conspiracy of the military industrial complex. Crash! Cage squares should be glad they can be one with nature now, eh? Show ‘em. Crank up the volume, Sunrise Aquarius, “Free Bird”‘s comin’ on.

One Square Yard

Funny Real Estate - One Square Foot
Funny Real Estate - One Square Foot

I keep staring at this lower photo, trying to figure out what the orange thing on the floor is. If you’re living in an apartment the size of a minivan, every item you have has to be useful, right? Every possession needs to be justified?

And then they go and get a… a… big orange dot. A scale? A Frisbee? Is it the cork sealing the hole in the floor that leads to the apartment below? Is it the secret passageway to the bathroom? Is it where the kids in the family do their timeouts when they misbehave? I do not know.

What? All this for just $900 a month? Mais non, mon cabbage. It’s a sublet. C’est clair que you just get those two shelves in the middle photo. One for you to sleep all curled up cosy-like, and one for your stuff. Adorable!

Loveliest comment, by ann: why in the world would this person need the multiple dishes and glasses? I mean, sure, they apparently managed to squeeze in the one boyfriend for the photo session, but does anybody seriously think whoever lives here needs place settings for four?!?
