Stand in the Corner

in Dwell on 11/16/10

There was a little girl
Who had a little corner
Right in the middle of her foyer.
When it was filled,
It was very, very filled,
But when it was empty, it was boring.

I bought a little stand this week in an attempt to fill a glaringly empty space beside my front door.

It’s a small space. I was hoping to find something tall enough to functional for flowers, Halloween candy or pizza deliveryman tips.

I bought the stand after brewing on it for a few days. I knew it would fit and I love the look of it, but something made me hestitate. Which I figured out as soon as I put it in the corner. It just doesn’t seem to work, does it?

It seems boxy. Too square of a stand for this square of a corner.

I have another home for this little guy and he was only $17.50, so no harm done, except that I’m back to the drawing board on my corner.

I might be persuaded to go with a column. I’d rather have a little hidden storage, but needs must. Maybe something like this would work:

Oh, and I need to pry that pesky alarm keypad off the wall. But one thing at a time.
