eeeek just the thought of rinsing dishes with dirty water makes me squirm. I used to use a small bowl inside my sink filled with soapy water and let the dishes accumulate for awhile but I realized that a bowl of still water covering dirty plates with rancid foodbits, grease.. etc must harvest a lot of microorganisms so I stopped doing it that way.

I wet the dishes with hot water, turn off the water, scrub all of them with a sponge, set them aside and rinse them one by one under running water. Then airdry.

I wish my dorm would let in that much natural light
instead I have an overhead fluorescent lighting crowded with dead bugs
The hardwood floor, all the extra space...
You can't call this a dorm.

@DoubleH Lol my mom also uses hers for pots and pans storage. True, asians don't bake much but my diet only includes less than half of asian food. I also love to bake, so if I was ovenless I would be heartbroken.
I could, however manage to get by. I guess what I cook or bake will just be limited.

I stayed over at my mom's for a week and tried to use her oven. When I preheated it at 400 to bake a cake, the apartment became a smoke chamber...
I had to use her toaster oven instead so I transferred my batter into a tiny muffin tray and settled for cupcakes.
I also made puff pastry. I couldn't find a cookie sheet small enough to fit so I made a one out of tin foil and cardboard.
It was tiring/time consuming to repeat piping/baking in small quantities but oh man... those cupcakes and puff pastries tasted soooo good!

what if they fall on your head? eeek.

This is really smart and creative.

Only thing that makes me really really cringe is the privacy issue..
it brings back unfortunate memories of my parents when I was about five....we used to live in a studio too. ew.

But great place. wonderful job.

oh man im drooling all over my laptop
what a beautiful space! especially love the kitchen

love the chairs and the dog

thats cute... too pricy tho

I thought one of many points of putting stuff in the pantry was to keep them away from sunlight....

I read that a lot of house cleaning, maid service companies have a strict policy to not use water at all. Just a lot of chemicals but they hardly ever spray those chemicals directly on the surface to eliminate germs. They instead spray their sponges, rags etc which only serves to spread those germs from your toilet bowl onto your kitchen countertop. Their cleaning is more about making things look clean.
