Continuing the 'Weird Kiev' series.
A special seat for dear guests (or for misbehaving kids?):
I love that.
And here we find a mysterious door in the kitchen wall. This was a rented appartment and I never tried opening that door.
It probably was just the beginning of a renovation of the appartment. Some old houses in Kiev have such high ceilings that some of the owners decide to make a second floor inside their appartments. Personally, I prefer high ceilings.

I love that chair in the first picture, if sitting there were a punishment I'd be misbehaving 24/7!

As a former cat owner I suspect the hanging chair could be a resting place for a cat while it awaits its owners to open the window and let it in. Most house cats have no problem climbing rainwater pipes etc. and make it to a platform in that height.
As a former student periodically without access to a refrigerator I also imagine the chair could function as a temporary place to put a plastic bag or a box with milk, meat products and so on, so that the it stays fresh longer. I once had a similar arrangement myself, and it worked pretty well during the Danish not-summer. Thanks for the blog. I love your work! |

Great and funny insights! I lived without a fridge once, too. We'd just hang a plastic bag out the window)) But what is most likely the case is the economy of the space. Our people often have small appartments where several persons live together. Balconies are routinely used as storages, and in this case, I suspect, the owners just went a step further and hung the unneeded piece of furniture outside their place. Thank you, nice to read some positive feedback |

Aaah, I see. Well, the chair does seem a bit unstable for a jumping cat. And the fridge thing ... why bother making a platform for a plastic bag to sit on?
I guess my skills as a modern day Sherlock Holmes are rather limited. |

Rather limited?
It seems to me your detective skills are in perfect shape... |
