Nightstands of NS

[Stadtski]

Could also be a handy bucket to carry things up multiple flights of stairs. Ie; water, sand, malt liquor.

or a durable fish bowl

Inb4 Lawrence with a very fancy, neatly organized desk with staged items to look like a London hipster kid

You've seen my desk plenty of times.

But here's my nightstand, a simpel Kartell Componibili that acts as a stand for my old Phillips Wake-up light and iPhones/iPads, of course this picture also shows off a small part of my library in a not so subtle way.

Yes that's a first edition s,m,l,xl near the Crouwel.

[Mr.Mitten]

My setup. Found my desk on the side of the road, snatched er up real quick. Hard to see but on the far right i turned an old ski into a record shelf. Lots of posters, some albums, a Packer's Fathead, and my posterboard. Das it

Doubles as a barf bucket.

Triples as a portable toilet.

quadruples as a sweet trick-or-treat container to hold all your candy

could also be a drum... for you know.. drum circles

hahaha, yes!

My roommate and I don't have much furniture so we bought a bunch of these $4 Home Depot buckets for all of these reasons and much more.

 

[Sno.]

Is that mat curled up at the edges between the feet of the nightstand?

lol, not because it doesn't have enough room. there's plenty of room for it to lay flat, but it curls up because my cats peel out on it everyday and push it to one side or the other. I need to get the carpet pads underneath so that it will lay flat and not move.

I actually knew you'd ask about that.

 

[Sno.]

ignore the runner, lawrence. I'll fix it--as I said I'm still in the process of setting up our new house.

for now, look at the progress I've made on cord management.

2014....

books.....

Fuck those emtionless pieces of electronic garbage that won't last for 10 years, "10.000 books on storage" brilliant when you can only read one at a time, e-readers have their merits put clearly books are vastly superior and more expensive.

I actually knew you'd ask about that.

I like to be predictable.

This pleases me immeasurably.

I don't have a photo right now, but I have a story.

This past Christmas I went home for the holidays and one of my buddies had a family christmas party on the 23rd (as I recall). To make that part of the story short, I got fucked off this pitcher of cosmo (idk if there's a word for a lot of a cosmopolitan) that his mom had made. Let me be the first to point out how lame and demeaning that is. It was like pure vodka and pink colouring at the bottom and I drank it and laughed. I blacked out hard and made a fool of myself and like borderline insulted a lot of people at a nice party. I'm not proud of that. I'm not really proud of any of this.

I woke up the next morning around 8:30 or 9 and did one of those cartoon blinking double-takes where both eyelids open and close like a camera lens. I sensed something was up, and I could see that my bedside table was askew. The top of this thing lifted up like one of those oldschool school desks, and it was wide open and leaning against the wall behind it. The table itself had been pulled forward a couple feet, apparently violently. There had been a jar of cookies on it, and I saw that they were strewn fucking everywhere on my floor. My first thought was to blame the dog, as if she'd maybe gotten into the cookies.

But then it started to dawn on me - I used to do this thing in high school (still do) where I'd open a drawer or something as like a worst-case scenario failsafe for when I came home drunk. I never actually puked in my drawers, it was just a mental patch I put in place to help me sleep or something. It was never well thought out.

So I crawl out of bed and my head is splitting apart and I feel like death and I look at the table and not only have I flung the thing open (okay, cookie situation wrapped up nicely) I have also filled the fucking table with puke to a depth of like two inches. It was AWFUL. I cleaned it up with toilet paper and lysol wipes. There was puke in every part of the thing and it reeked.

I asked my mom if she'd heard like a crash or anything the night before, and had to explain the whole scenario. She thought it was funny but I was pretty stricken with guilt for a while after. It gets brought up at just about every family gathering. I also broke the lamp that was on the table, but it's since been quietly replaced.

Guilty. I did this too in college when I had an empty pullout drawer from one of those plastic cabinets that I used as a nightstand. Luckily it was really easy to clean because it was all plastic.

Can we make this thread one night stands of NS?

the moderators will never see it coming... commence!

 

[Black-Bandanna]

Yes that's a first edition s,m,l,xl near the Crouwel.

Personally, I find Koolhaas and OMA to be overrated, but what ever floats your boat.

 

[Laurent.]

Personally, I find Koolhaas and OMA to be overrated, but what ever floats your boat.

He is a fundamentally polarising figure with quite often blunt opinions, very provocative, always evolving and very much akin to Corbusier in being a very urban thinker. His 'rockstar' status may be a bit odd in the world of architecture but a well, indeed whatever floats your boat, if you don't have s,m,l,xl I do recommend giving it a read even if you don't fancy the bloke, it's still an interesting book.

And frankly there are much more overrated architects such as Hadid, who has become a bloated balloon of hot organic air.
