As someone who is a mix of both OP and the wife, this wouldn’t work imo. One because the stuff would still look kinda messy if you’re using it for your daily needs— I feel like these only look good for stuff you rarely touch and don’t need to keep neat, like books and curiosities. Two because there’s still a surface on top that I would still make use of as a “oh I’ll drop this hair brush here for now and put it where it’s supposed to go in a minute….” And then never actually put it in its designated cubby.
Im a germaphobe and my husband is an 'organization cleaner'. One day, I had proudly disinfected, scrubbed on my hands/knees our bathroom. One could eat off my floor and bathtub. He came home and asked, 'why is the bathroom a mess'. It took a minute to realize he was referring to the bottle of Nivea lotion and mouthwash on the counter 😳
i had a parent like this, and i couldnt leave the house fast enough. for them, it wasnt enough for things to be white glove clean, there had to be announcements, complaints, and regulations, too. no thanks 🙂↔️
It also sounds kinda nice to have - I just wouldn't want to be questioned like that. He could have just put them away himself. It sounds passive agressive, leaning toward agressive
