However, Jessica caveats her complaints with the statement: “there’s lots of AMAZING things too, but thought it would be funny to show some silly things”.
It begins with “3 ‘dumb’ things about my new build home…’ and goes onto reveal an oddly sized space built between the wall and the door, where little could fit.
She writes: “This random space in a bedroom that’s too small for anything”.
The then heads off into the bathroom to show some interestingly designed features.
“The shower door hitting the toilet when it’s opened,” she captions the clip.
Lastly, she points out how her sink drawers are strangely positioned right next to the toilet so that they hit her legs when she’s on it.
“The toilet being right soooo close to the vanity,” she complains, as the bad design is easily revealed.
