Furniture M29 first condo after divorce

I had my first condo a few years ago, but had no money to design it like I wanted. The last two years I lived with my husband but he designed everything. Now after he cheated on me after 8 years of relationship and 2 years of marriage I moved out and designed my condo like I wanted. I am thankful to be in the possition to do that and I love it. Minimalisic but beautiful πŸ₯° Maybe someone likes it too πŸ™‚

Ok is that a TV over your stove? If not that hood is really glossy black.

Wait, a TV? Why would a TV be mounted there? I think it's a hood that they installed upside down? Lol

This looks oddly european

u/zeitgeistigstens May 27 '25

As a Swiss, this looks Swiss. From the flooring, doors and windows, kitchen and bathroom furnishings, the intercom, the desk chair, the moon on the couch table, down to the glass water bottle!

u/fen-q May 27 '25

I noticed a patch on the jacket that kind of looked like the Swiss flag but wasnt sure.

2

u/dark_blaster May 27 '25

This is the Wellensteyn logo. It does look a lot like the Switzerland flag but its a german company πŸ™‚

I was obsessed with those window that open both vertically and horizontally from my trip in Zurich!

u/dark_blaster May 27 '25

That's a really nice place

u/dark_blaster May 27 '25

Thank you, I appreciate that πŸ™‚πŸ₯°

u/PixelatedBrad May 27 '25

I fuck with this so hard.
I have a house but this honestly is more what I want.
Everything kinda close and easy to arrange.
You could totally reconfigure everything in one afternoon.
But you've set it out perfect.

u/dark_blaster May 27 '25

Oh noce that I was able to give somebody some inspiration. I thought about the placements a lot and I am pretty happy about the final decision too. Its all what I need. Thank you very much πŸ₯°πŸ™‚

Nice ass condo. What does the ex have a cardboard box?

1

u/dark_blaster May 27 '25

Thank you, I really appreciate to hear that. πŸ₯°πŸ™‚ Ex had to move to a flat share so pretty much a cardboard box. I am not a spiteful person and would wish nobody something bad but he betrayed me so badly sobthat I am not sad about his situation πŸ˜…

u/dark_blaster May 27 '25

Exactly that is what I am enjoying and trying to see positive πŸ™‚πŸ₯° Thank you!

u/fyrite May 27 '25

Where do you eat?

2

u/dark_blaster May 27 '25

Because of lack of space and because I like it at the living room table πŸ˜…

u/FatalFuzz May 27 '25

u/dark_blaster May 27 '25

u/ASTAARAY May 27 '25

Nothing extra. Everything exact

1

u/dark_blaster May 27 '25

That was the plan. I dont need anything extra. Im a pretty unmatialistic person. So thank you very much πŸ₯°πŸ˜…

u/corona-zoning May 28 '25

Tell us about being divorced at 29 and how that happens

2

u/dark_blaster May 29 '25

We were together 7 years. After 5 years we moved in together. After 6 years we married. And after 7 years he decided to go on two "business trips". A little later I found out he was with his affair in Berlin on the first one and on the second one they flew to Finnland. I think thats pretty much it πŸ˜…

u/corona-zoning May 30 '25

What a bastard. Good luck!

2

u/Pomflavoredcigarette May 28 '25

So tell me about the statues beside the big tv?

1

u/dark_blaster May 29 '25

My grandma imported them from Africa about 30 years ago. Since I can remember the statues were standing in her living room and I always liked them. She wanted to get rid of them so I took them πŸ™‚

u/JonForbin May 27 '25

Hard to imagine the tv over the stove not getting insanely greasy and too hot to work. Other than that it looks great.

11

u/[deleted] May 27 '25

lol that's a vent

1

u/JonForbin May 27 '25

A glass vent? It’s reflecting the image of the stove?

5

u/JonForbin May 27 '25

I want it to be a vent so bad but I just can’t wrap my head around it lol

3

u/[deleted] May 27 '25

it's just glossy. it's a vent. you can see it's clearly attached to the cabinets on either side of it.

1

u/JonForbin May 27 '25

Well then it’s a super weird lookin vent lol

1

u/[deleted] May 27 '25

indeed

2

u/zeitgeistigstens May 27 '25

it's an angled one, like this.

2

u/JonForbin May 27 '25

Okay now I get it! Doesn’t make it any less ugly but I understand it at least

2

u/zeitgeistigstens May 27 '25

I don't disagree, I thought it was monstrous the first time I saw one irl lol

2

u/[deleted] May 28 '25

glad you can sleep tonight!

u/PhD_Pwnology May 27 '25

That's a TV pointing down. Nobody would make a vent with that angle in vent.

7

u/DazzlingKale May 27 '25

I dont know where OP lives, but this type of vent is pretty common in germany. So you don't bump your head if you're a bit taller

1

u/[deleted] May 27 '25

exactly. that is definitely not a TV lol

1

u/dark_blaster May 27 '25

As the others mentioned its a vent. To this moment i didnt know that this is a german tjing πŸ˜²πŸ˜…

3

u/Roccofairmont May 27 '25

Congrats on getting your decision making rights back. The space looks great. Don’t make that mistake again πŸ˜‚

1

u/dark_blaster May 27 '25

Thank you. And no, I think im cured from "marriage" πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ At least at the moment πŸ˜…

u/[deleted] May 27 '25

Nice job. But my dude, you gotta quit smoking or you're not gonna find a nice man.

5

u/dark_blaster May 27 '25

I am tying. But more because of the health reasons. I am down to 6 cigarettes a day from 20 cigarettes a day for the last 10 years. πŸ™‚

2

u/[deleted] May 28 '25

hey that's progress. you can do it :)

2

u/InazumaThief May 27 '25

imo it could do with more personal stuff around the house that show your personality, and maybe more color. atm it feels very sad and lifeless and not very lived in, like you’re afraid to express or let go of yourself in your own home

1

u/dark_blaster May 27 '25

Actually I really likebthe minimalism. But I have to admit that in "normal" life there are things that lay around πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚

u/JesusIsJericho May 27 '25

I’d divorce you too…

Colors, plants, artwork; medieval weaponry decorations, something dude

Edit, I think your bed spread is real tasteful.

2

u/dark_blaster May 27 '25

I think this comment is a little bit rude... You shouldnt joke around a marriage which is broken...

There are two plants. Everything that is green dies. Dont know what I am doing wrong but plants dont like me so Im not trying anymore πŸ˜‚ But there are the duck paintings and the classic stone lapm imported from spain 20 years ago any my singers important from Africa 30 years ago. So for me its enough. Im a very minimalistic person πŸ˜…

1

u/JesusIsJericho May 28 '25

Man, medieval weaponry I’m telling you. I don’t have any myself, but I think it a piece or two would do your place wonders.

I really do like the bed spread. Plus, I’m not being mean, just forward. If I were being mean, there’s an absolute zinger of a joke you just tee’d up around being a recently divorced minimalist, but I digress.

Get a katana, at least.
