Just wait until you discover the dishwasher.
I wanted to put a rack for those dishwasher trays into a regular cupboard, so that we could have basically a real dishwasher for dirty stuff, and a cupboard for clean stuff so that we never have to empty it.
My husband Veto'd it, because "that's the epitome of laziness". Which I think is exactly the point, but whatever. It's his job to empty the dishwasher now, which solves the problem too.
Do you mean like this?

It's basically in every kitchen in Finland, and has spread somewhat to the other Nordic countries, but is apparently rare elsewhere.
No, I mean those dishwasher drawers you have in there? You should be able to take those and just slide them into a regular cupboard. You out empty ones in the dishwasher, and over time you fill those when you use the dishes.

doesn't the cupboard get moldy if you keep putting wet dishes inside?
Its hollow from the bottom, the wooden part at the bottom is just in the front so water drips to the sink area under and has good ventilation.
Ooh that some clever design! I know some people who just put dishes in regular cupboards before they are fully dry and it always feels like a moldy disaster waiting to happen.
Thats a pathetic little kitchen faucet. Real grownups use professional multi-spray kitchen faucets with removable head and swivel action...
I just bought my first home and immediately decided my first upgrade was to a faucet like this...
I think I need a new username haha
Oh yeah baby that's it
I’ve showed my mother things like this once and she was very not at all excited at the idea of one in our kitchen.
The knives look like a pain to load and remove though
Yup. Also: I'm tall, so now I can't see everything that's in the sink. It also needs some kind of anti-tip measure if the suggested use is to keep heavy dishes up high like that. Also, I'm not convinced this is sanitary - are we gonna get raw-chicken-water-splashback onto clean plates?
That would cause me so much claustrophobia at the sink i would stop washing dishes.
Maiju Gebhard (September 15, 1896, in Helsinki – July 18, 1986, in Helsinki) was a Finnish inventor who invented the dish drying cabinet as the head of the household department at the Finnish Work Efficiency Institute in 1944 and 1945. She was the only child of economist Hannes Gebhard and politician Hedvig Gebhard.
I love this concept. The big problem is that a lot of American kitchens are (weirdly) modeled after old farmhouses where the sink was always under the one window in the whole room. The trend is absolutely hostile to this idea.
It’s nice to look out while you are washing the dishes.
Bird outside the kitchen, fighting his reflection, what's he gonna win when he wins?
It's the double sink that gets me. I've lived in places with a double sink. I do not have a double sink right now.
I need double sink in my life.
Use the poor man's replacement plastic tub.
This is the way. Double sinks suck. With this you have a double when you need, but can also waeh big things like oven sheets.
Except it won't look so pretty and also I can't imagine using the dispensers without taking them out of that thing unless it's VERY rigid.
My mother in law has one of those and I hate it, its all wobbly and just holds way too many dishes so they end up living there basically.
You think my ADHD ass is ever unloading a drying rack? The dishes would just live there and I’d always be cramming new ones into it.
If only we had some technology that could dry a dish immediately and didn’t take up tons of space or grow mold… like some kind of flexible, absorbent material that sucks up the water? We should have NASA work on it
