New Bathroom Storage

After 10 years it was finally time to get rid of my "provisional" bathroom cupboard, which I created from an ikea Ivar shelf-unit.
The Probem was that the new cabinet should provide as much stowage as possible, but it also needed to fit under a sloping ceiling.
So after a lot of thought and research I went to Ikea, bought myself a childrens closet called Sundvik.
I then made & added two more shelves and  some boxes, which was both cheap and easy.

making the new shelves. I wish I had a workroom ;)

adding brackets to fix the new shelves

 

Finished ;)

the sloping ceiling the cabinet had to fit under, it could also only be 1,15 m wide

Like a girl

Sheryl Sandberg on female Leaders
 (Untertitel auf Deutsch  verfügbar)

“Success and likeability are positively correlated for men and negatively for women. When a man is successful, he is liked by both men and women. When a woman is successful, people of both genders like her less.”

And then there´s this ad campaign which raises the question why "like a girl" is an insult.
Which is a very good question. 

Glück im Unglück

don´t think there´s an english translation for that one
Lucky in bad luck would be word by word.

Came home from work, broke off my key.
Aaargh!
Went to my landlord who lives next door, got a replacement key.
Doesn´t work.
Phoned the guy who lives in the apartment on the first floor.
He´s close by, arrives within 5 min and has left his 2nd door open by chance.

Phew!
He´s also a craftsmen and able to remove the lock from the door.

My landlord has got another lock with 4 keys, my neighbor fits it in.

Voila, Problem solved !!!
That could have been so much worse, I´m so happy & grateful ;).
