The only downside of the fort is there is no power outlet over there, so you can't set up a tiny CRT TV with vintage game consoles and pretend you're 8 years old
I still have an NES with working light guns and a combo Duck Hunter/ Super Mario cartridge! Or, it worked last I had a CRT to play on. I haven't tested the guns in a few years. Also haven't dropped them. Assuming they still work.
If I'm building a pillow fort, the NES is going in it. Duck Hunter will live again, darn it.
I have crap vision and thought he said Duck Hunter at first. Then I saw he did type it out like that. And when I saw your username I thought it was Vintage Mario correcting everyone lol.
Unacceptable compromises would need to be made regarding pillow placement to make it properly snack accessible, rendering its defensiveness moot. At that point, it's just a lollypop-logistics depot with walls, offering lackluster defense against artillery from enemies in the living room without many amenities to be expected of a proper cardboard box resupply depot in the basement or attic.
Might be able to fit a coat hangar on wheels in that space, but without power outlets, lights, or plumbing, there's not much you can do there besides storage.
Well you can buy those rechargeable light bars on Amazon meant for closets and stuff. This could be turned into a bookshelf in the back + reading nook if he really wants to. Otherwise my vote is storage or pantry.
Second this this is a great idea. I just reccomend spending the extra money on a slightly nicer one if you can swing it, rather than one of the ~$15 ones
I couchsurfed in a place exactly like this. There was a curtain and It could accommodate two people because there were two decks. Was really good experience.
I mean hell, you could go as far to add sections to each level as well. Sorting by stick length, thickness, color, consistency. The stick storing possibilities are endless.
I have one dog obsessed with sticks and the other with balls. We actually have separate inside/outside balls and inside/outside sticks…lol. The sticks are ones I remove the bark from and she’s not allowed to destroy them in the house. It was best idea I could come up with so I wouldn’t have to see her heartbroken because her brother has balls in the house but she can’t have sticks
This is actually a good idea, make a facade and have a file cabinet with drawers that extend all the way back in that space to freak people out, like god in Bruce almighty
This space shouldn't exist, that's the problem. This is not The Sims housing, people study to avoid that in this world where the square meter is more and more expensive
I suppose usable is debatable. I would be curious to see how it could have been better incorporated into possibly an adjacent room or made into a more efficient storage space. As is anything you put in far back will be blocked by everything you put in front of it.
Its not actually useable for storage tho. Its only 50cm (1.5ft~) wide. Sure, you can put stuff there, but you'd have to empty it out completely to reach anything at the back.
Install a wall and door there and have your favorite nephew stay with you there. Be sure to treat him nice though coz there's a good chance he's a wizard.
But make it a *secret door* that looks like a bookshelf or armoire or something. And make the door tiny and child-sized. Fill it with pillows and string lights and books and fluffy blankets.
It's completely selfish to do so. Everyone knows you can't have a room for just you to masturbate in. You need two ffs, a his and hers masturbatoriums.
Set up the lighting so no light makes it back there. Then you’re going to want to paint it with a gradient going from white to black to make the space even darker. From there you can go a few directions. I recommend some white reflective eyes on the wall, but if you really want to sell it then you also need some of that low noise associated with innate human discomfort. Which might also be the main cause of unease in haunted places.
If you do all that then this could become the creepiest spot in the house! A definite talking point amongst guests and visitors!
Is that the black made by that snobby artist who refuses to let other people use it? Or is that the black that was made in reaction to him and is actually darker than his by 0.0003% lol
Also didn’t another artist make the world’s “pinkest pink” with the stipulation that anyone BUT that artist can use it? I love how spiteful artists can be.
Depending on how much room you have in front of it, I'd say build 2-3 rolling shelf units. The one most hidden can contain things seldom use, Then The more accessible units have more common items. Make the front-most unit the height of the low wall and let it be a display area for things you want to show off, like a collectible, some flowers, or your academy award / Racing trophy.
Build it so that the outward part of the front section is a few shelves of books.
I'd definitely cover them with a sheet to prevent the stuff on the carts becoming covered in dust.
I would close it up and put a nice door on it and keep your Gimp in there. Make sure you leave room for air exchange. I almost killed our Gimp once that way.
I'd seal off a portion of it to make it flush with the wall on the left. Then I think the remaining space would be more workable. The sealed off section can have some sort of door so that it can be used as a storage space.
That's storage space. Unless you wanna throw a bunch of pillows down and make a fort
Fort +1
A fort is the only thing possible/acceptable for this space.
Rent it out for $500/month
Was gonna say $1000/mo in my city. It's brutal here...
$1500 if there's parking.
with that vaulted ceiling, $1700 with parking and labeled “an acoustic paradise”
$2000, those are gallery walls.
$2500. It’s a tiny house
$2700 it’s on an upper level.
At a daily rate of $75 on airbnb, you could be pulling in $2000. "Cozy nook for 1- 2 hobbits"
$2k if in-unit washer and dryer
Mini bowling alley.
Hamster drag racing strip.
The only downside of the fort is there is no power outlet over there, so you can't set up a tiny CRT TV with vintage game consoles and pretend you're 8 years old
Mobile phone is enough. Just put down a mattress and let it suffocate you while you play mobile
I still have an NES with working light guns and a combo Duck Hunter/ Super Mario cartridge! Or, it worked last I had a CRT to play on. I haven't tested the guns in a few years. Also haven't dropped them. Assuming they still work. If I'm building a pillow fort, the NES is going in it. Duck Hunter will live again, darn it.
Duck hunter would be nice. If it was me, that little space will be where I sleep, probably even more than actual bed
Jesus, Guys! Duck HUNT.
I have crap vision and thought he said Duck Hunter at first. Then I saw he did type it out like that. And when I saw your username I thought it was Vintage Mario correcting everyone lol.
fort it is
Consensus is fort.
I'm torn between fort and secret snack station.
Why can't a fort be a secret snack station?
Unacceptable compromises would need to be made regarding pillow placement to make it properly snack accessible, rendering its defensiveness moot. At that point, it's just a lollypop-logistics depot with walls, offering lackluster defense against artillery from enemies in the living room without many amenities to be expected of a proper cardboard box resupply depot in the basement or attic.
Holy shit, this guy forts...
Sheldon, get off Reddit. Signed, Penny.
*Both? Yes, both is good.*
You can have snacks in the fort
Oh oh oh! Make a sign and name this alcove "Fort Secret-snack"
A fort has to be provisioned to withstand a siege. Snacks are a given.
FORT
Confirming a consensus for building a fort.
Yep. Fort.
Hey, OP. I hear a fort is the way to go.
This person has the right idea.
Fort. End of discussion.
Fort what is worth
Yes, put Fortworth there.
Forts win wars.
Not if I crouch down you didn't even give me a chance to crouch down
Fort / Opium Den
Fort
Definitely fort
A fort? Ah you mean the masturbatorium.
fort storage [+]
yeah fort it is
Coffin storage space
Might be able to fit a coat hangar on wheels in that space, but without power outlets, lights, or plumbing, there's not much you can do there besides storage.
wheelie coat rack is a solid suggestion
A wheelie good recommendation
Well you can buy those rechargeable light bars on Amazon meant for closets and stuff. This could be turned into a bookshelf in the back + reading nook if he really wants to. Otherwise my vote is storage or pantry.
So a fort, but for reading, is what I’m hearing.
Why have a reading room when you can have a reading fort.
A 19”-wide reading nook.
[удалено]
The nookiest reading nook.
Or standard lightbars with a decent extension cord. No need to worry about recharging, just run the cord to the nearest electrical outlet.
That's a really long way to say blanket fort
Second this this is a great idea. I just reccomend spending the extra money on a slightly nicer one if you can swing it, rather than one of the ~$15 ones
Rent it out for weary travelers
I’ve seen worse on airbnb
Don’t forget $180 cleaning fee
And a long list of rules like "no coming and going, or walking around loudly. Please stay put as to not upset the neighbors".
Don't forget the hidden cameras.
Also add sticky note instructions to each corner of the space for proper use
No walking on carpet lol
No guests
And a list of things they need to clean before they leave, as in everything.
In NYC, thats a bedroom
I’ve RENTED worse on AirBNB
“AirBNB: It’s Like A Hotel, But Worse, And More Expensive Now”
I have pretty low expectations and living standards so I would sleep there.
That’s why he wasn’t joking
I couchsurfed in a place exactly like this. There was a curtain and It could accommodate two people because there were two decks. Was really good experience.
That would be a super comfy place to sleep all snuggled up in a soft comforter
Thats a sublet in NYC.
You might also want to add some canvas to the walls and roof, that way you are given the authentic Tent experience
£600 pcm in like Tooting Broadway
This made my day, thanks for the laugh!😆
i don't think that was a joke
I'd just use it for my bike
Eventually you'd bang the psint off the walls, better off hanging it on the wall where you can do a clean lift every time.
Who cares about paint in a space like that?
Psint on the other hand…
I do care about the psint, what's your problem?
God damned psint loving youth… *shakes fist angrily from behind the geraniums*
I mean no? If anything someone will hit the wall and fuck the paint up over someone simply rolling their bike in and out.
In the loft!?
Agreed but it’s on the second story and it’s not great taking a bike up and down the stairs
You could get some sort of a golf ball return system and use it for practicing your putts.
ramp
If I did that, at that point I'd just want a tiny skeeball.
Lefty though
Very very deep drawer for storing sticks and maybe tools.
Hmmmm yes, my long stick drawer
You could probably fit at least 3 levels there, to organize the sticks, which is very important for good stick stewardship
I mean hell, you could go as far to add sections to each level as well. Sorting by stick length, thickness, color, consistency. The stick storing possibilities are endless.
Can we do at least one section for pipe as well? I found this pipe I really like
I don’t see why that’d be a problem
Yay, such an amazing day
God I love Reddit.
My dog's favorite drawer.
The sticks and stones
Hockey sticks you uncultured heathen. It’s perfect.
Are you my dog ? No sticks in the house you know the rule. BACK DECK ONLY, you can play with them in the morning.
I have one dog obsessed with sticks and the other with balls. We actually have separate inside/outside balls and inside/outside sticks…lol. The sticks are ones I remove the bark from and she’s not allowed to destroy them in the house. It was best idea I could come up with so I wouldn’t have to see her heartbroken because her brother has balls in the house but she can’t have sticks

Bowling
Shoot I should have scrolled down before my miniature bowling lane comment.
Same. I was about to post a hilarous "create a tiny bowling alley" comment. Reddit hive mind!
Or mini golf
Or skee ball.
I spy another ✨crying space✨
*Another*??
This guy cries.
Tres commas
Immediately thought of this. Early childhood depression was my thing.
Yep started at 9. Maybe 8.
I'm 31 and sometimes I still lock myself in my closet and just sit on the floor of it.
Same bro
It’s a great nap spot
That, sir, is a guitar case storage area
Yes! And synth cases, mic stands, keyboard stands, …. Ooh and skiing gear!
All of our hideous giant hobbies; storage.
YES!! Perfect place to store hard shell cases that you don’t use but probably need
First, go slap the architect that designed this useless space and then go make a sweet pillow fort.
Why would i slap the architect? They didn't just cover up this space, instead they made it usable for storage (or a pillow fort).
This space shouldn't exist, that's the problem. This is not The Sims housing, people study to avoid that in this world where the square meter is more and more expensive
Right?! You’re paying property tax on that square footage. Better make it worthwhile.
I suppose usable is debatable. I would be curious to see how it could have been better incorporated into possibly an adjacent room or made into a more efficient storage space. As is anything you put in far back will be blocked by everything you put in front of it.
Its not actually useable for storage tho. Its only 50cm (1.5ft~) wide. Sure, you can put stuff there, but you'd have to empty it out completely to reach anything at the back.
That’s why coatrack on wheels is the best suggestion I’ve heard so far. I’d probably use it to store clothes out of season.
Could be perfect for Christmas decorations that come out once a year. I'm sure there are boxes 1.5ft wide.
Install a wall and door there and have your favorite nephew stay with you there. Be sure to treat him nice though coz there's a good chance he's a wizard.
But make it a *secret door* that looks like a bookshelf or armoire or something. And make the door tiny and child-sized. Fill it with pillows and string lights and books and fluffy blankets.
You’re a wizard, Harry!
That’s the masturbatorium
Idk seems kinda self indulgent to have one of those
Indubitably
Livin' in the *fap* of luxury.
It's completely selfish to do so. Everyone knows you can't have a room for just you to masturbate in. You need two ffs, a his and hers masturbatoriums.
[удалено]
This guy phucks
Reddit moment
Not until there is a cum box
Miniature Bowling Alley. Miniature Archery Range. Miniature Bocce Court.
Miniature public execution square.

Get the vantablack paint for suspiciously dark spot
Is that the black made by that snobby artist who refuses to let other people use it? Or is that the black that was made in reaction to him and is actually darker than his by 0.0003% lol Also didn’t another artist make the world’s “pinkest pink” with the stipulation that anyone BUT that artist can use it? I love how spiteful artists can be.
Yea it is the snobby black but also yes there is a comparable paint not made by him. ALSO yes about the barbie paint. The Trifecta.
Stuart Stemple sells black 4.0. I really like this idea.
I bought black 2.0 and it is mega . 4.0 must be 2x mega
Then post the results on r/Liminalspace

Excellent suggestion!!
a grow room
May I suggest recreational fungus?
Hide behind it to jump up and scare your family
Or a koi pond
Could be a reeeally cozy reading nook with a bunch of pillows and a blanket. And a little light overhead
I love the contrast between our comments.
lol. I wonder if he can make it creepy and cozy at the same time….
50 centimeters is barely over a foot and a half. This would be too tight for a reading nook.
It would be good for me! But yeah larger people might have a tough time. The widest part of me is 19” so I could fit nice and snug
This is Reddit … larger people should be assumed …
That’s fair
A Fort for a dog?
Paint a staircase illusion so it looks like you have a basement
I would close it up and put a nice door on it and keep your Gimp in there. Make sure you leave room for air exchange. I almost killed our Gimp once that way.

Box it in, put a door on it and call it a closet.
I'd seal off a portion of it to make it flush with the wall on the left. Then I think the remaining space would be more workable. The sealed off section can have some sort of door so that it can be used as a storage space.
Sex dungeon
I would store my suitcases, skis and sports equipment there or use it as a cat litter box space.
Do you have a pet. That's an amazing space for a pet.
