Happy Hook Day

Leave a comment

It really does not take much to make me smile and today was no exception.

I have a stainless steel hanger which I use for socks and undies which I have owned for a few years. It can be a bit tricky to store but it generally lives on the shelf above the laundry bench.

However, I bought a second one a few months ago and there did not seem to be any easy answer to storing both of them. They cannot be adjacent to each other as the pegs get all tangled up.

Yesterday GMan suggested that perhaps we could hang them up. He found 4 small white cup hooks and then it was an easy matter of positioning them into the timber strip immediately below the shelf.

This is the end result.

A simple but effective solution which makes me very happy.

Last Boxes

We unpacked almost all of the removalist boxes within the first week or two that we were here. However, there were nine boxes of books which remained. They were stacked in the lounge room as we were not 100% sure of where we actually wanted them and there is nothing worse than packing and unpacking books.

After living here for a few months and with the impending arrival of the new lounge furniture, we decided to unpack the books into the shelving units in the office. Office is probably slightly too grand a description as it is essentially a walkway through from the hall to the laundry.

The books take up all of the glassed-in upper shelves and about half of the lower ones. The remainder is storage for some stationery items and other miscellaneous bits and pieces.

Finally, this is the view from the family room through the opening to the office.
