 @59034767 There is an inherent beauty in things that are practical and useful :autumnleaf2: :blobcataww: 

Well except for my popcorn maker that thing's ugly as sin.

 @59034767 This is great. I’ve been thinking about how my design aesthetics have been changing as we try to adopt greener practices by converting our landscaping to native plants and vegetables. Hope to have solar panels soon.
