I rent out an artspace and that is long, but no windows. Looking at this video, I am inspired by your organizing I use Kallax as well, I usually find and repurpose them from an upscale neighborhood I find them in, def going to restructure my studio after this.

    I was thinking the bit at the end about it being “our” videos was cheesy but it kind of is, in the sense that (for me at least) most of the enjoyment I’d get from most of this (beyond what I’m personally nostalgic about or want to try writing code for,) is the novelty of seeing something for the first time , seeing how it works , learning about the thing, sometimes disassembling it, but most of the time even when I have a good find irl it gets used like 3 times then sits on a shelf collecting dust. RUclips videos also take up less space and get less spousal complaints (as long as she isn’t made to watch the videos 😂)
    Loved the tour, hope the others either have tours posted or will make one, I’m super curious if the statue is just a joke about ashen’s POV while recording a video lol
