I
recently solved one of my father's problems - that of bumping into a
sticking out coat. Each time he moved from his bedsit, the former
lounge, to the kitchen, now additionally his bathroom, he got his
walking frame stuck.
This became ...
previously, but there was more work to be done.
I
suggested moving the hallway mirror above the phone table - and
trading place with the coat hangers - this would allow the annoying
coat to be hung on a hangar with its cousins instead of slumped over
a chair...
Dad
agreed, so I moved the two hangings across the room from one another.
It now not only solves the coat-Dad problem, but some of mine. I
found it difficult to reach behind the phone table to select a jacket
for father or coat for me - and very little room to hang my coats.
Now that I have purchased a thick winter coat, I would have had to
keep it in my room - but now, I can hang it up out of MY way.
Additionally,
it looks nicer to have the coats hung up above the shoes - more like
a hallway. Finally, it also looks better with the mirror over the
phone table - seeing as noone actually uses the mirror these days.
By
the way, if anyone in the UK is interested in purchasing new
flooring, I have a discount voucher available that needs to be used
by the end of the year - let me know!
That should make your Dad happier. It must be frustrating enough having to use a walking frame without it getting stuck all the time. Anything that makes it easier should be welcome. :)
ReplyDeleteYe3s, he was pleased at first - but now he bumps into the chair the coat was on - so I am going to have to move that too when I can find a place to stash it!
