I agree, it looks nice in my opinion. It doesn’t look like the house itself is crooked. It’s just asymmetrical furniture, which I find fun to look at!
I don’t know, some of the kitchen cupboards do not seem to do anything.
The board along the kitchen ceiling is only covering the ventilation tube, but all the other cupboards seems to work fine.
All the hinges are placed on a vertical side of the odd shapes, so they ought to function normally.
I’m torn between “this is terrible” and “this is somewhat good”. I’ve seen much worse that’s for sure.
This is the finest house in Whoville.

I am referencing that story and it’s Wikipedia page says:
“‘—And He Built a Crooked House—’”[a] is a science fiction short story by American writer Robert A. Heinlein, first published in Astounding Science Fiction in February 1941.[1] It was reprinted in the anthology Fantasia Mathematica (Clifton Fadiman, ed.) in 1958, and in the Heinlein collections The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag in 1959 and The Best of Robert Heinlein in 1973. The story is about a mathematically inclined architect named Quintus Teal who has what he thinks is a brilliant idea to save on real estate costs by building a house shaped like the unfolded net of a tesseract. The title is paraphrased from the nursery rhyme “There Was a Crooked Man”.

Wait, I think I remember this story! Thank you for the memory and now to see if I can find it again!
In case you haven’t come back to the post, the story is by Robert Heinlein with the (almost) same title as the post.
It was a reference to the mathematical Orb, or at least a cube version of it.

This can be used to make basically any complex data structures and store physical objects inside.

The Eastern Europe in this is overwhelming
It’s a more 90’s aesthetic where materials were available but not the finances to hire someone to do it well, so people did stuff like wallpaper by themselves instead with varying degrees of success.
People still do that, though maybe less. Men in the family are electricians, masons, plumbers, all at the same time, and with varying degrees of success.
Yes, but you can now afford better tools and materials, online tutorials and tool rentals exist, which can improve your odds a lot with a little preparation.
Edit: I live in an apartment where a construction worker used to live. It’s full of dumb kludges and half jobs, or as slavs would call it, “khaltura”.
No matter how good your tools and materials, a skilled enough amateur can fuck it up. You can’t account for taste either. Furniture shapes aside, those bed covers and the couch are also not something I’d have in my house.
The color schemes, lack of natural light, terrible wall textures, and dated patterns are what kill this for me. The weird slanted perspective furniture actually elevates it, if anything.
Looney-Tunes lookin’ furniture.
I love the idea behind it, just the execution is lacking.
Mažeikiai is where the oil refinery is situated in. Maybe it’s prolonged exposure to petrochemicals.
The last two pics (master bedroom?) and the kitchen kinda give me anxiety with all the slanted furniture but the rest looks good to me
What are those exfrydijg out? Almost looks like microphones.
I think they’re LEDs on stiff, bent wires
Ah, I guess that makes more sense
I expect them to be tiny lights to bring that alien mushroom forest aesthetic.
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.

It’s from a nursery rhyme. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_Was_a_Crooked_Man
There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;
He bought a crooked cat which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.
Is this a situation where they were planning a remodel, discussed their inability to cut straight lines, said fuck it and doubled down?
Its a Pre-React style build.
Its alllll angular
Looks like the ceilings follow the roof lines instead of being flat so they just made the furniture follow those lines
Thanks, I hate it.
