Hello…..I’ve just discovered your website today and have spent some hours looking through all your very interesting stuff…! I’m a 72 year old lady, living in Perth, Western Australia. I’ve lived in my tiny Government owned Seniors unit for 20 years now and have always treated it as though I own it. I still do all my own decorating, gardening and DIY’ing and love the sense of achievment it gives me.
I do have adult married sons who will do whatever I can’t physically manage to do, so I have the best of both worlds.
I do enjoy looking at what other people are doing and sometimes I wish I could make myself a website where I can put up all the photos of the DIY’s I’ve done over the years. I’m a very independant woman but I’m not very clever with all the technology side of that but maybe I’ll try and do it soon. I’d love to create a record of my achievments for my 4 children and 14 grandchildren to look at. I’m sure they realise just how much I actually do without asking them for help…! I’ve “liked” you on Facebook so look forward to seeing more of your homelife…!
All the best, Nadia xx

I wish we had room for an ottoman/bench for taking off shoes! Our mudroom also has a woodstove and wood rack (I think the wood rack’s location would be ideal for a bench)… We’ve got a little mirror/shelf/hook combo thing that we keep by the door though, so half the problem is taken care of…

OMG this is such an awesome and clever solution!! I want to implement it ASAP! No more messy shoes at the bottom of the stairs!! Now if only I could get my hands on a nice cheap ottoman like that…

I just discovered your site today and I couldn’t be more thrilled! We just bought our first house a few months ago and you guys are giving us tons of ideas! I hope that you never delete your projects from your site because I never know which one I’m going to need! :)

In reply to Devon @ Green House, Good Life.

Haha- so glad it took you so long. It was crazy when we moved in and the walls were dark paneling and it was this big gray box!

I see what you mean — the panel box was so low (and off-center) that no art would have covered it, but putting the bench and hooks there makes it nearly invisible. I had to look, like, four times to finally see it! (I thought it was behind the jackets…eventually found it.)

Woo hoo, I just got this ottoman to put in my small entryway and love it! I have some art on the wall above it so I wont be able to put up hooks for purses or jackets, but we are going to store our shoes in there. Thanks for the great solution!
