People have recently become more environmentally aware and there is a rise in smaller homes and simple living. This washing machine hidden under the kitchen counter idea is perfect for that.
You don’t need a whole separate room just for your washer and dryer. Just try and not turn it on while cooking, it may distract you and the food could end up burnt.
Fluffy Flour
Imagine kneading your dough, and all of a sudden, it starts purring! Take one very, very white cat, place it in a mixing bowl, and leave the mixture to settle. And by settle, we mean to fall asleep.
This fiendish feline took the opportunity of sleeping in the very inopportune space of a mixing bowl. It's well known that cats love to sleep in tight spaces, the downside is that they don't know what they're getting themselves into. One could easily mistake the bundle of fur for a pure-white heap of flour. If it were not for its face titled upwards, any hapless baker would have thrown in the eggs and oil!
Secret Bathroom Window
Guests who try to poke around this medicine cabinet are in for a big surprise. This apparently DIY bathroom hack seems quite easy to do. Simply screw the hinges to the frame of the mirror and window casing.
It’s good for overly curious guests and lets in extra ventilation when needed.
The Secret in the Mirror
Despite looking like it could have been produced hundreds of years later, “The Arnolfini Portrait” was painted by Dutch painter Jan van Eyck all the way back in 1434. It seems to be entirely straightforward until you start to look a little closer. Some of the details are strange.
It was a wedding photo, but the woman already appeared pregnant. There are touches like the small dog, the chandelier, and the trappings of the room, which could either be an allusion to wealth or to aspects of religion. Jan van Eyck’s signature is on the wall, and there are unknown figures reflected in the mirror.
A Feast for the Eyes
There are not many pieces of famous art on this list from a lady, but here’s a fine example. Clara Peeters painted this still life, titled “Still Life with Cheeses, Almonds, and Pretzels,” around 1615. She painted her signature on the handle of the silver knife at the bottom.
A still life is mostly just about painting something as accurately as you can, using subjects such as these, but there’s still a fun tidbit in this piece. The jug of drink that is in the center of the painting has a black lid, and if one looks quite closely, one can see a small reflection of the painter herself.
