Kubantu abaninzi abahlala ezixekweni, umbono wokuba nako bonisa ingqokelela yencwadi ebanzi ngaphandle kokubingelela ngeemifanekiso zesikwere ezixabisekileyo liphupha nje lombhobho. Umhlali waseWashington, DC kunye no-Instagrammer UDominique Gebru , nangona kunjalo, wayezimisele ukwenza ubuchule kwigumbi lakhe elincinci. Iprojekthi yakhe yamva nje ibonisa ukuba uhambo oluya kwiziko lekhaya kunye nokucwangciswa ngononophelo kunokuhamba indlela ende ekwenzeni i-luxe, umboniso ofana nethala leencwadi uyinyani-nakwezona ndawo zincinci zokulala. Ngapha koko, awunyanzelekanga ukuba ucofe isiko elakhelwe ngaphakathi ukuze ufike apho. Ngapha koko, uGebru uqikelela ukuba le projekthi iyonke yamxabisa ngaphantsi kwe- $ 250 iyonke.
UGebru wayesazi ukuba kuya kufuneka eze nolunye uhlobo lwesisombululo seencwadi endaweni yakhe. Umlingane wam, uGeoff, uyathanda ukufunda — kakhulu, utshilo uGebru. Xa sangena kwigumbi lethu lokulala elinye, elingena nje ngaphantsi kweenyawo ezingama-500, ngaphezulu kwesiqingatha seebhokisi zethu zazizaliswe ziincwadi. Ngethamsanqa, wayevulelekile ukuba agubungele lonke udonga ngamashalofu aqokelelweyo. Ndihlala ndiphupha ngokuba nelayibrari yasekhaya, utsho. Nditsale inkuthazo yam yoqobo 'kuBuhle nakwirhamncwa,' kodwa ngoku ndisebenzisa nje iPinterest!

Xa esi sibini sahlala kwindawo yabo ngasekupheleni kuka-2019, uGebru waqala wazama Inkqubo ye-IKEA IVAR kwigumbi lokuhlala. Kukho ibhokisi eluncedo ephuma eludongeni, ke bendifuna into emodyuli esinokuyakha macala onke, uyacacisa. Iishelufa (ezichazwe apha ngasentla) zazintle! Kodwa bathathe indawo eninzi exabisekileyo. Emva kokuqwalaselwa ngakumbi, uGebru uthathe isigqibo sokuba ukhetho olonyuswe eludongeni-olusagubungela lonke udonga — yeyona iya kuba yeyona ibhetele kuye.

Ukulandela umkhondo kwishelufa akusoloko kusisixazululo esibonakalayo, kodwa kungagcina indawo, ngenxa yoko uGebru uqikelele ukuba uzakuthatha ithuba kuyo. Ndaya kwiwebhusayithi yeThe Home Depot, kwaye emva kokuzoba kunye nokulinganisa okuninzi, ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndihambe no Inkqubo yokugcina umkhondo weRubbermaid , uthi. Ndandinalo ixhala lokuba igumbi lokuhlala liza kujongeka njengekhabhathi ezukileyo, kodwa kuba sineencwadi ezininzi, ndaziva ndiqinisekile ukuba iingoma ziya kufihlwa.

Nantso ke ingqokelela yale projekthi: Kuba ukulandelela ishelfu iguquguquke kakhulu kwaye iyenzeka ngokwezifiso ngaphakathi kwemodyuli yayo, isebenzisa iingoma zentsimbi ezinemingxunya ebonakalayo kuyo. Kukho izinto zokuhombisa ukulandelela ishelfu ukhetho kwimarike, kodwa uninzi lusebenzisa ngakumbi ubuhle babo. Nangona kunjalo, ukuba ungaphezulu kwe-maximalist kwaye uza kugcwalisa ishelufu lakho kumthamo weencwadi kunye nezinto ezinkulu zokuhombisa, awuyi kuqaphela izibiyeli okanye imingxunya ubukhulu becala.
Ukufumana ukubonakala kwethala leencwadi lokwenyani, kungcono uqale iishelfu zakho kufutshane nomhlaba kwaye uzithathe phantse yonke indlela ukuya esilingini, njengoko kwenza uGebru. Ukwenza isitayile sesitshixo kubalulekile apha, nako. U-Gebru akapheleli nje ekukuguquleni ukwenziwa kweencwadi ngemiqolo emibini ethe tye kunye nokuma nkqo — nkqu nakwishelufa enye, waqinisekisa ukuba iishelfu zixhonyiwe ukuze iincwadi zithathe phantse yonke indawo phakathi kwazo. Oku kwenza ukuba ishelufu eshelfini ibonakale ngathi yenzelwe ngabom kwesi sithuba. Ngapha koko, naphi na apho iincwadi ngokwazo zingakhange zifihle umkhondo, wongeze ngobuchule kwizityalo nakwizinto ezincinci, ezinjengeencwadi zeencwadi kunye neevazi, ukubonelela ngendawo eyongezelelweyo kwaye nika iliso enye into ukuba ijonge kwaye.
Ngelixa iprojekthi iyonke ibinemiceli mngeni embalwa, uGebru wonwabile sisiphumo. Ndicinga ukuba abantu abaninzi bayoyika ukunyusa izinto ezindongeni, ubonakalisa. Elona candelo libalulekileyo lale projekthi yayikukude, ukumisela ukuba zeziphi izinto zokubopha eludongeni ezizakusetyenziswa. Ngodaka lwayo kunye ne-lath phezu kweendonga zezitena, ukufumana ubunzima beewindows. Wayeyazi ukuba iishelfu ziya kuba nobunzima obuninzi bokuzixhasa, ke isisombululo kufuneka sikhuseleke. Emva kokuvavanya iindlela ezimbalwa, uGebru uhambe nezikhonkwane zekhonkrithi ezizimeleyo ezazinde ngokwaneleyo ukubamba isitena. Ezi zinto aziyi ndawo! uthi. Kwafuneka ndisebenzise ubude obubini beshelufu ukugcwalisa lonke udonga, kwaye bayadika kancinane eziphelweni, ke ayisiyongqinelana kakuhle. Abafezekanga, kwaye ndiyabathanda!
