Real talk, though, I bought this thing thinking it was one of those thin ones you use to flip eggs and shit, but it is REALLY thick:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001VZAKGM
And I was like "WTF does anyone need this for? Burgers?? I'll never use this shit".
But then I tried stirring things in my cast iron frying pan with it.
Spatulas bend and tend to slingshot food out of the pan, but this monster? Damn near as indestructible as the pan itself, AND it keeps the pan in good working order because cast iron needs to be scraped smooth regularly-- especially if you want to keep it seasoned instead of re-seasoning it after every use.
It is NOT a substitute for a real spatula, it cares not about egg yolks and lightly fried fish fillets, but damn if it wasn't one of my better $5 kitchen purchases.
Those look like the pine-scented sticks people hang from fake trees at Christmas to make them smell more realistic.

then this is the unit you need. it's affordable and well-designed. i could not find a single other record stand that had room for a receiver which was astonishing to me. only downsides are that it is frequently out of stock, and somewhat complicated to assemble. also, they don't have holes in the back panel for cords so i had to cut one myself.
Redeeming qualities: the desk and the raw wood floorboards. Besides that, pretty much everything has to change. Here are some suggestions:
whitelight fixture to something more modern or just simple. The tangled cord doesn't look good.Hopefully that's actionable and helpful.
He spent $40 on it! Guess he's getting his money's worth out of its "use"
I came here to say this! You can also make one yourself, I've never tried it but people say that it's easy. Just make sure there's no metal in it...
Merry fucking christmas
I don't have time to make sure it's comprehensive and everything but I can throw some stuff together real quick:
Knives
You really only need 2, a chef's knife and serrated knife. A pairing knife is occasionally useful but rarely necessary. If you really like sharp knives, buy a whetstone and learn to sharpen, cheap knives can get just as sharp as expensive ones.
​
Pots and Pans
You need four or five things here. I'd say your mainly looking for a large saute pan, a stock pot, and a sauce pan. If you cook eggs you can grab a non-stick saute pan too. Don't use non stick pans for things that don't stick to pans. They wear out fast and they're garbage when they lose their coating. Oh and a sheet pan.
​
Other Shit
​
This is just suggestions if you don't have the stuff already, I think the real bottom line is that the stuff you already have is likely fine, and being a good cook is about knowledge and technique and putting effort into tasty food for people you care about, not gear.
I love the left side of the room. The right side all looks like it came from grandmas guest room. Which it potentially all did... as did my entire first college bedroom, but it's be easy to liven that up and make it yours. You have a pretty cool minimalist, tech vibe going with that desk, lamp and chair. Keeping the other side of the room more simple will let more exciting things be the center of attention.
With the bedspread, a solid light gray is always safe- you could throw that cool blanket on top in the winter too. It lets you get some bright pillows to add color if you want. With the lamp, a cheap way to go would just to get a more simple lamp shade. Something Light gray or white with some texture would be a start.
After that, some blackout curtains and a long curtain rod would be awesome. I imagine it really opening up the feel of the room.
Now plants, it's crazy how much it really livens up a room. If light is low, give this article a read. You'll find something at Home Depot or Lowes that you can take care of. Put some smaller ones on one or two cheap shelves with what ever other cool nicknacks you start gathering at school and it'll feel like a castle man.
I see a lot of stuff about wall decor on here. Get a poster or two if you want, maybe a mirror. Old maps are cool too. Find an old map of whatever town you're in or from. Maybe a cool (quite) wall clock, but don't go crazy; college dorms can start feeling like dungeons when the walls get too crowded.

Hey! It's no lotion, but personally I am always cold. This was a great gift I got once, used it a lot! http://www.amazon.com/Intelex-Plush-Elephant-Microwaveable-Warmer/dp/B002WILK7A

We had 165 guests, and probably bought about 60-70lbs of candy (most websites recommend you have 0.5 lbs /person).
We used CVS and Amazon for bulk sized bags of the typical stuff (5lb bags of kitkat/reeses, peanut M&Ms, Haribo gummy bears and gummy cola; 1lb bags of Dove chocolate) and various online vendors for non-traditional gummy/licorice, since I'm a candy-fiend who wanted brand name, extensive, yet slightly outside-the-norm variety. We used Sweet Factory and Economy Candy, since they had the most extensive collection but there's a ton of different online vendors out there, that are all similarly priced, such as Candy Warehouse and Oriental Trading (good if you want to shop by color, and don't care about brand) We thought about springing for personalized M&M's, but found them kinda pricy and not worth it--since we had so many other types of candy, I doubt anyone would have noticed. If we were JUST doing M&M's, we probably would have done it, though I remember the shipping time taking awhile (at least in late April, during the start of wedding season)
Our candy was out the entire time, and at the end, all the chocolate was gone, most of the gummies were gone, and the licorice was eaten the least. The most popular of the unique candies were Gummy ice creams. We had about 10 or 15lbs left over, which we ate for a few days, then gave the remainder away.
All our glass jars came from various thrift stores and Michael's, and were a range of sizes, heights, and shapes. We got the scoops, bags, and a few plastic risers from Amazon, some trays from Ikea for the scoops, and then gave everything to our coordinator to set up and lay out, and let them figure out what looked best. It was a HUGE HUGE hit,and one of my favorite things to plan.
I've got one of these and love it. Have to give the lid a wipe down every now and then but otherwise it's great

Or, you may prefer a Buddy Christ.
Shelves- From 1-10 the difficulty level was about a 5 with my husband helping. In each bracket there are 3 holes you have to nail into the wall while keeping it even. Using a leveler helped greatly but it took both of us to be able to do it. I'm sure a more handy person wouldn't find it as difficult but I will say they weren't the most user friendly shelves. That said, it took about 45 minutes to do and it looks great! I would definitely say worth it.
It's just an acrylic ball. Got if off Amazon for about $15

I used this guy which worked soooooo much better than using the "dip a string in lighter fluid" method.
I broke the project into 4 steps:
This was my end-result process. I tried a few different ways, but this was the most efficient. I started with about 50 bottles, and ended up with about 25, so I had about a 50% success rate, which I call a win! :D
I got them from Amazon. Here is a link.

I always thought getting something like this and turning them all into drinking glasses would be a cool idea. Havent done it yet though
https://www.amazon.com/Scentsicles-Winter-Scented-Ornament-Fragrance/dp/B014J7UQ9E
It's a simple google search away lol. Here's one example.

Now I usually cut with electric tile cutter and sand on DIY flat lap, but for someone looking to only do straight cuts and not make the glasses for sale I'd say go with one of the jigs available and then just do the hot-cold water routine, a candle or a jet butane torch over the score line.
Alternatively, you can also make a jig yourself, it's not that hard and will probably save around $30.
What in the snoo snoo is a GPU display stand? Perhaps you are talking about this, or more specifically this?
Sure!
The arcade buttons came with all the relevant wiring and the usb cable.
I got a coupon that I used on the tea box, which is why it was less than $30 total for me, but it still ain't an expensive box. I also drilled all the button holes into the bottom of the box, because the bottom is made of particle board and much less prone to splintering when cut/drilled.
(I already had this from making my trash stick). The printed design is one I saw on Pinterest--not my own. It's really meant for a marquee but I adapted the sizing of the image for this. I might suggest others use a paper with a glossy finish, or design their sticker on redbubble for a higher quality finish. That would probably be more convenient, since the box is longer than a standard piece of printer paper so I had to add more sticker to the ends (that's the brown borders along the right and left side). You could also just not screw up with ugly holes like me and then not do a sticker at all. =P
That's it. =)
I'm not OP but I have the same shelves, they are from Amazon [here] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077GQ87NP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yHuhDbQ4M08GY)
So, full disclosure this (and morning Uber rides to work when it's cold) is my biggest personal struggle, budget wise. That said, there are stretches of weeks/months where I'm damn near perfect with it and I can share those tips :)
So, the biggest thing for me is that I make sure that I've packed a snack to eat at 3pm every day. Even if I'm not hungry and even if I don't want that snack, I eat it. Because when I leave work at 6, I'm not so terribly hungry that even just boiling water for Kraft Mac n' Cheese is too much time/effort and "terribly hungry" is when the cravings get you and next thing you know, you're spending $25 on fancy ramen.
My personal go-to is sliced up red peppers and hummus or tzatziki sauce (which I rarely have at home so it's usually hummus). Protein is key to maintain the feeling of fullness, and the bulk of the vegetable satiates you. But it could be anything: mini Babybel cheeses (this is actually my go-to for breakfast-- some kind of seasonal fruit and cheese), a small charcuterie plate with olives and cured meats... whatever, get creative, don't ignore your calorie/ nutrition goals (this is why peppers and hummus are the best IMO)--just make sure it'll hold up in the fridge from Sunday- Friday and prepare enough to grab and go in the morning or keep in the work fridge and set a daily reminder for mandatory snacktime.
I've also started to make my own hummus, using this recipe1 (but I'm lazy and buy canned chickpeas--I do remove the skins). I can tweak it to my exact specifications and can make a whole lot of the stuff for very little money (compared to the store brands, the major ones of which I've never really loved). I'm not saying you have to do it, but it's something I've come to enjoy and makes me look forward to mandatory snacktime because I'm damn proud of the stuff.
Which goes into a more general tip: learn to cook some basics/ easy go-tos and make them yours and make them your favorite versions of said food (or at least your favorite available). A bit tricky for NYC when there's awesome food everywhere but you can do it.
Make use of that freezer. I have a go-to recipe for Mexican shredded chicken that I'll make pounds of in one go, and then freeze the extras in freezer friendly quart ziplocks (freeze them "thin" so defrosting takes 10 minutes in room temperature water. There are a million different receipes for this concept. Some limey and cilantro-y, some tomatoey and cuminy. Here's a quick and effective way to get an airtight seal and avoid freezer burn. Make a bunch of different types This then can turn into whatever. Stuff a quesadilla, make enchiladas, make some soup, mix in with rice, eat on top of a bed of spinach. Ditto with some sort of spiced ground beef (or turkey).
In addition, if you always have a couple chicken breasts and a pound of ground beef/ turkey in the freezer (take out of original packaging, put in freezer friendly ziplocks, save as thin as possible for space concerns and also ease of defrosting), and even a sort-of stocked pantry, you'll have the ability to "wing it"/ get creative/ bail yourself out in a pinch (my dinner last night: my "emergency lazy food" package of herb and butter Rice a Roni with sliced chicken breast. Not a restaurant replacement but it was fast and I saved myself $20).
Try to always have some basics on hand. Whatever your "basics" wind up being, that will be personal based on your taste and your easy go-tos. For us, it's rice and tortillas (married to a Central American, my favorite food is Mexican, so your mileage may vary, most people seem to gravitate to bread and pasta). We always have a couple different kinds of shredded cheese on hand. Ditto with sour cream-- there's always at least some in the house. We always get a package of spinach, green onions and a lot of limes at the store (and often some extra red peppers) because we've found we use them up every time. We also make sure that the onion, garlic and egg reserves never go down (these items keep for weeks if stored properly). Oh, and canned tomatoes and black beans. Always have a ton of those. I have a lot of homemade chicken stock in the freezer (whenever I make a whole chicken, I put the bones and vegetable scraps in the slow cooker for 12 hours. Boom. Chicken broth), but you could keep canned on hand or "better than bouillon". This helps with soup and also adding flavor to whatever you're cooking. We've got a nice collection of spices and oils and vinegars which helps. Most of this keeps for a long time and can be morphed into anything AND goes well with our standard go-tos.
Once you get your basics to where you like them, you'll start to feel a bit silly going out to get X because it's really just ABC mixed together and you've got A and B in the home and you could pick up C right now for $2 AND yours tastes better. It's also fun and a challenge to learn new things and even more fun to follow a recipe exactly the first time and then make it yours the second. Also, give yourself a bit of leeway. This is "never eat out again" this is "stop paying 10x the price for something I can easily make at home, probably better". You love Indian? Go for it. Top notch sushi? Cool. But you do not need a $20 hamburger. Or Tex-Mex (authentic Mexican food is certainly something worth spending on). Or...whatever.
For inspiration, and bang-up awesome recipes, can't go wrong with America's Test Kitchen. Get a trial subscription or ask for one for the holidays.
Oh, also (sorry, I'm rambling). BUY GOOD SALT. Forget anything iodized. You don't have to break the bank but get some descent fleur de sel. Then don't be afraid to use it. Keep it in something like this, right by where you cook. Go talk to the people at the fancy salt store linked here. They'll back me up on this. Part of why you crave eating out so much is because they season their food properly and there is a 90% chance that you do not (most people don't, from a fear-of-salt thing from the 60s/70s that was the low fat diet scam of its day). You're addicted, basically. A couple weeks of home cooking will break that, especially if you're providing yourself a good substitute. Salt is not evil, and I can guarantee you that even if you feel like you're using a heavy hand in your kitchen, you probably won't be using as much as restaurants anyway.
Alex says he would dig if we got these, too. Class-ing up our house up and all!
My guess would be [these.] (http://www.amazon.com/Azar-326046-6-25-Inch-Three-Tier-Acrylic/dp/B006W8G85K/ref=sr_1_32?ie=UTF8&qid=1425609264&sr=8-32&keywords=acrylic+riser)
We've used this one for years.
I got one of these
It fits all of the main figures very nicely. I then have the crystal figures under them on a small endtable. The power discs and playset pieces are in the endtable's drawer.
I freaked out for a second thinking that I was an idiot, but Amazon confirmed that is how they are supposed to be. phew...

Have you tried scentsicle sticks? One of my cat babes loves to climb xmas trees (artificial) and I got those and hung them in there and they all steered clear of it as long as I kept those sticks fresh bc they hate the smell. Your plant areas will smell like the sticks but that's a small price to pay to not have demolished plants!
These shelves were given to me as a gift back in 2013, and I've just decided to put them up now because they conveniently fit playing cards nicely. I'm not sure if these are the exact ones but I found these on Amazon which are the same dimensions and color.
I used Container store ones at first, but those are kinda expensive and didn't fit that many.
I got a few of these, can fit more Pops and they're pretty sturdy:

Plants! They're great to have, I have some bamboo right now. I love it. Here's a really pretty bonsai tree!
And you definitely need a crock pot! They're super handy to have, just throw some food in in the morning and come home to a super easy meal, plus leftovers!
An electric kettle is another essential! Especially if you love tea.
Cheap, cute end tables! I turned the top of mine into a chessboard! Fancy-s up my room a lot.
Here and here are some really nice shelves!
You definitely need a set of knives too!
A really awesome bottle opener!
Here are some really cool glasses.
Aaand the cutest sake set ever.
Okay I'll stop linking now. I just really love household-y things! :D
Thank you for the contest and I hope this list helps!
Acrylic Risers
These would work in the way you'd want them to :P
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 + $7.62 for shipping.
That is an absolutely massive stash, very impressive! Are all those boxes unfinished kits?
I have those same display cases, ikea detolfs. I think you should really get some lighting for them, ikea makes these LED light strips that work perfect for the detolf, they're called dioder: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20119418/
I also use a few clear acrylic stands I bought on amazon so I have a lot more room to display my kits:

Get these https://www.amazon.com/Rockler-Blind-Shelf-Supports/dp/B001DSZ35A or some sort of cleats, anything going into the studs will support the shelf.
Try organizing your figures with Niubee Acrylic Riser Display Shelves from Amazon. Here’s a photo of my OOB collection with the 9x6” variants.
A metal spatula costs less than ten bucks. Screw "the principle" of the thing, I'd just buy one and tell everyone "we're using this now."
I have one of [these] (http://www.amazon.com/Buddy-Christ-Statue-Dashboard-Driver/dp/B000AP5974)
I like these for stuff like this. You can get a couple sets and put glasses on the top and in the shelf. It turns out to be really cool looking if you add some other fun stuff in there, like maybe a shaker or a glass of stirring rods. If you put them in a single like then you'll have more visibility and you can play around with these. Best of luck!
Oh, yuck, my boyfriend and I got mono last winter; he contracted it first, then we had a date a week before he went to the doctor and got diagnosed, so I ended up with it. It's no fun at all, so Internet hugs to you both. :(
If you decide to send a care package to him, a heating pad or one of these helps a lot with the sore muscles. And if either of you are biology nerds, there's this.

Thanks! It’s a rather cheap cabinet from the ‘70s. I’ll have to reinforce it a bit if I use it regularly.
Here’s a nice alternative. There are other styles and sizes available too.
This is what I use. Just ordered several more actually. Dimensions:
> 9-Inch W by 6.25-Inch D by 6-Inch H. Each step measures 2-Inch D.
These used to sit on built in shelves, but I just bought a half-height half-width Ikea Billy with a Glass door to display them instead. Set it up last night actually. Glass shelves with one of these on each shelf. The craftsmanship on each step-display is inconsistent, but for the price it is great.
I can upload a photo of my previous setup and new setup (as of last night) using the risers if you like.
Edit: Apparently I bought the last two in stock (sorry). It is sold directly by Amazon so they will restock.
I use a combination of these two:

This is the one I got. There are plenty of "witchy" stores online. You could just search "Witchcraft Supplies" or something similar.
They were all super easy to hang up. I'll link the better ones than the ones I had to assemble myself. They are the same price. The square shelves are kind of cool but I would rather have more of the medium size one than the big ones (except for Mega Yarn Yoshi) wish there was a way to order just the medium sized ones. I'll be needed more shelves soon as I already didn't have space to hang my Skymiibo. They were the only ones so I didn't see the point in buying another set of shelves for 4 (8 with their vehicles) so I'm waiting for the 15 pre-orders I have to start coming in before I hang more shelves.

Does Amazon Retail ship to the UK? Yes. You order via http://amazon.co.uk
Does this particular merchant, who is using Amazon's Fullfillment By Amazon service ship to the UK? Doubtful, because the item isn't for purchase in the UK (see: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00LY8KNO0).
The item might exist under a different identifier in the UK marketplace, but that's unlikely as item identifiers are typically the same across all marketplaces.
Thanks! There's a good amount to choose from on Amazon, this is the one I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004G45GLE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . There are probably cheaper ones that do the exact same thing.
The smallest keyhole hangers might work. You have to route a recess for them.

How often do you brake glass using a saw? Right now I use a kinkajou glass cutter and fracture the glass with hot water. I get ~95% success rate using this method.
I bought something very similar to this a long time ago and it's treated me wonderfully since.
Since you have a bunch of tiny figures you could display the most out of them with different kinds of raisers like this one or something more crazy like this one. I just linked the first thing I found, I bet you could get a better deal if you search a bit more.
Did a quick search on Amazon for floating shelf bracket and found several solutions including a metal french cleat that supports 200 lbs. Last year I used this https://www.amazon.com/Rockler-Blind-Shelf-Supports/dp/B001DSZ35A/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1469580161&sr=1-1&keywords=floating+shelf+bracket for a canary wood shelf.
these I love them. I live in my parents attic so the walls are slanted and I really can't hang neat stuff on them like that. So I will live vicariously through you if you put them on your walls lol I get to remodel my room within the next year too...so maybe I'll run a contest like this!
I like these wall decorations :D
Well to get stuff off the table take some small cardboard boxes and wrap them in pretty paper. Then you can set your stuff on them at different heights. It catches the eye more.
EDIT: I just randomly found these and thought they would be prefect for you.
3 walls very light beige (as light as it gets!), the wall with the window, brown!
then use this fabric to make your super curtains!
Let's change out those curtains!
just a few bonus decorating ideas
have this book shelf mounted in one corner of the room, from the way the layout looks in the picture, i'd say that right side corner you should mount this.
and then maybe this floor lamp somewhere on the left side of the room to add a little extra light. And since there are so many different bulbs, you can really mess with the lighting ambiance of the room!
and maybe this poster up above your window, going along with it. Adds a bit more rainbow to the room, and all the colors on the brown wall would really look amazing.
and if i so happen to win, I would super appreciate a GC to go towards my DS fund! :D
I like to find some of the weirdest shit imaginable that I would still treasure. Also, some stuff for hobbies that some people might think is pretty weird if they don't know anything about the hobby. Or in other words...normal.
BOOKS:
NOT BOOKS:
Catfish's daily grind of 'enhancing' poultry comes to a halt when he is accidentally tripped up by a loose chicken, causing him to fall victim to his own process. What proportions of his that were once human are now beyond anything normal. Add villainous corporate and military big wigs, a roller-skating weapon-toting chick named Kitten Kaboodle, a gang of tattooed babies, and there's still that enormous beach monster... And what you have is MONDO, in all its raging glory!
This is neat because it's decorative and can be used for functional storage. Plus it takes advantage of a space that is usually not used, the corner! Good luck with your new home
Sure thing, [here they are.] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005VTP1Z4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=17A26QSVT1THK&coliid=I299VTGY251WX9&psc=1) I really like these, they really accent the office nicely. I think I'm going to buy two more sets for other corners of the room...
I'm actually trying to do some jewelry photography myself.
The first method I tried is shooting on glass with diffuser panels. Then underneath the glass, I had another diffuser panel with a bright continuous light right behind it. That made the background pure white. There were no shadows because it was on glass. And the reflection doesn't show up if the background is bright enough. Unfortunately, using this method, there were a ton of reflections that I couldn't really control.
So then I tried shooting inside a light box. I cut a hole the size of my lens in a piece of big white cardboard. So the only reflection what would show up is the lens, which is easy to spot remove in photoshop. Inside the lightbox, I have the piece of jewelry on a piece of acrylic. Something like this:
https://www.amazon.ca/Medium-Profile-Riser-Clear-Acrylic/dp/B0095MH2ZU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485548418&sr=8-1&keywords=clear+risers
To make the background pure white, I put a light underneath the lightbox (I put the lightbox on top of a cardboard box with a hole it in). Then I also put a light right against the back of the lightbox. So the bottom and the back of the lightbox are very bright and make the background pure white (or very close to it so that you can just fix the levels in photoshop).
Here are some test shots I did recently:
http://imgur.com/a/DS6SI
The last one was done without a lightbox. It makes the gem stones look much more dynamic, but the lightbox makes the whole thing look cleaner and without any bad reflections. I might try and do multiple exposures so that I can get the best of both worlds with dynamic stones and also a clean overall look.
The main issue I'm having with the rings is that the clients wants the gem at the top and the band at the bottom. I've just been flipping them vertically in photoshop which looks alright, but sometimes it looks a bit funny because it's like a mirror image of the piece of jewelry. I might end up having to use wax or a fishing wire to get the rings to stand up properly in the correct orientation.
If anyone has any advice or tips for me as well, let me know. I'm not charging much ($15 per piece), and there were 37 pieces of jewelry to photograph... so my method can't take very long for each piece of jewelry.
edit: shooting with a Canon T5i at f/11, iso 100. Using a Canon 60mm f/2.8 macro lens. I'm using focus stacking also.
I don't know the dimensions on that turner, but these look similar.

Figurine, per the movie
The bobble on the other hand seems to be difficult to find.
Judging by the notches in the back, probably something similar to this
I like these! http://www.amazon.com/Intelex-Plush-Elephant-Microwaveable-Warmer/dp/B002WILK7A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417138404&sr=8-2&keywords=animal+rice+bag

If you don't mind acrylic, Azar? I imported a wider one from Amazon US for ~£23.50. Delivery took 1 week.
Perfect for displaying stuff
If you get this, you wont need to take up space on any other tables or desks. It's been a godsend for me with little trinkets I like to display. Best of luck to ya!
Someone on Reddit recommended these to me. They’s worked perfect! No more cat damage since I started putting these in my plants.
Scentsicles Tree Ornament White... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014J7UQ9E?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Hey guys! Sadly I have the smallest room in my apartment, and it’s pretty cramped in here. I’m a musician, so I’m trying to fit a somewhat functional set up in here which really only requires my amp and studio monitors. I also love listening to music so I’m trying to get a stand for my turn table and records like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Novogratz-1324222COM-Concord-Turntable-Single/dp/B079HKMMC5
Luckily the other things I keep in here, like other music gear and my surf boards, are stored elsewhere in the apartment.
I’ve included a picture of my room as well as a screenshot of a layout I made so you can see dimensions, and here are the dimensions of my furniture:
Bed - 54” x 75”
Desk - 59” x 29 1/2”
Drawers (under desk) - 14” x 22 3/4”
Chair ~ 27” x 27”
Amp ~ 21” x 10”
And the closet that sticks out of the wall the door is on is 14 1/2” deep and 63 1/2” long.
My color scheme is really monochrome and I would like to keep it that way, but maybe add an accent color to the sheets or maybe a rug to make it all pop more.
Also, I know the desk is massive, it’s the largest size ikea linnmon and I would be willing to downsize since there’s a bit of unused space. Also my bed needs to stay against the wall it’s currently on, as it would be blocking the floorboard heaters otherwise, but I might be able to turn it the other way.
Thanks for all the help!

Sure. These are what I got, though I definitely got them cheaper (the price fluctuates so much). Don't spend more than $15 on these, the quality isn't that great; they look exactly like you see in the picture, screws and all, and aren't too stable.

Winco 6"x3" hamburger turner: This thing is heavy and not flexible. Winco is generally great, they make no-frills heavy duty products and restaurants use them. They make different size versions of the same spatula. If you want to spend more, it looks like Amazon sells fancier brands with nicer wooden handles.
It's probably too thick for eggs, but then spatulas good for eggs are gonna be bendy and not the best for flipping meats. For that a fish turner like this woud be more appropriate.
These two both have wooden handles, meaning putting them in the washer is gonna weaken the products. If that's an issue, look for spatulas with plastic handles.
I did basically the same thing except with a bamboo tea box from amazon
It is a little bit smaller but I can fit my palms on it for when I want to rest, which is all I really need the size for:

I have Detolfs and I buy these for three-step risers.
Here is a photo.
I also have this set of 3 individual risers. It looks like they're slightly bigger than the ones you linked.
Here is a photo.
Hope this helps!
I used these, which Amazon doesn't seem to have in stock. Didn't find a lot of products out there when I was originally searching.
For the lazy.
If you have an Amazon account, this one is fairly inexpensive and works well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001VZAKGM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's not as large or perfectly balanced as the pancake flipper many people recommend, but it's also 1/6 the price. For $5, it's great. You do want to sand down the sharp corners so they're not digging valleys in your seasoning - takes less than 3 minutes with a grinder or rasp.
i have this, got it from this post.
I bought my Master Tech a Crystal Ball. He always said that he left it at home... But now he's prepared.
