I have this corner in my basement (slrpnk.net)

Hello, Lemmy,

I had been posting here about my basement build for the last few years. I had been using a different account, but then that instance folded and I became a refug.ee.

The current phase of my man cave is basically done. Phase one is two bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen. I have this corner of the kitchen I am not sure what to do with. Its in between a sink base, an upper cabinet, and wall. Its about 20 in wide and there is 66 inches of clearance from the floor to the cupboard.

I already have a decent enough place for my garbage can. I was thinking maybe a tall thin cabinet for brooms? or maybe a chest of drawers for my kitchen implements?

Any ideas?

Having examined the picture for several minutes, I can indeed confirm that it is a corner.

I'm not sure what size it is, as you're using mediæval units, but I think a cat tree would probably fit in there. If you don't have a cat, just put the tree, and leave the door open.

In my initial post I mentioned it is 20 in wide, with a 60 in clearance. I mean I guess inches are medieval, but I can't tell if you're being obtuse, European, or an asshole. Not that I can discern a difference between the latter two.

Cat tree is not a bad idea, except I live down here with my partner and he's allergic.

Well, since you're being so nice about it, my advice is to kick your partner out and get the cat you always secretly wanted.
