I have an ingenious little table next to my bed which I made. It is the most intelligent thing I have ever seen. It is kitchen shelves for holding food with a piece of wood on top as a bench. I have repurposed it to be a desk next to my table so I can keep shit on it. Why spend money on a proper bedside table when I can ingeniously combine random parts to make my own, autistic, innovative furniture?
I have a bunch of gallon sized glass jars that once held green olives that I use for fermenting small batches of beer. I have graduated to doing larger batches now, and I use buckets meant for fermenting, but I still use my 1 gallon jars when I am experimenting with new brews.
