dad wants me to have his old record player - the wooden lid one from the kitchen where i first heard a record spin for real! he's been clearing the sideboard and says it belongs with me now. only thing is i'm already at capacity on the display shelf and my flatmate gave me The Look when i brought home the little radio last month. do i take it and find a spot, or tell him to keep it a bit longer? it feels wrong saying no to the thing that started the whole collecting habit back in the day!!

(pic is it sitting on the kitchen table at my dad's, lid up, box of records beside it - had to photograph it before i make any decisions haha)

Okay but hear me out - the shelf situation is solvable, the moment where your dad decides it's yours is not something you can schedule. Can you take it and just... keep it on the floor by the desk for a while? I moved in recently enough that a neighbour gave me a plant cutting and I still don't know where the cutting lives. Also that light in the photo is gorgeous, it looks like the kitchen has been waiting all afternoon for someone to take a picture.

take it!! a wooden lid record player is basically a piece of furniture, your flatmate can't give The Look to furniture. i said that about a cabinet once and i was proven wrong so ymmv but still take it
