Most homes built in the early to mid-1900s have a small shelf built into the wall in the kitchen or hallway. If you live in an old house, this may be the case. If you didn’t think much of this, you might have asked yourself why it was there. Yes, there was a reason for putting it there!
A phone niche is what that small shelf is called. People used landlines to talk to each other before cellphones. That seems like a very long time ago now. A lot of homes were built with just one space for the phone. A lot of them had a small shelf or drawer above or below the phone where you could put address or phone books. It seems so old-fashioned to even think about an address book these days!
Most people no longer have landlines and only use cellphones these days. But you can use this phone niche in different ways if your home has one! For decoration, you could buy an old phone and put it there. If you want, you could even use it. It’s big enough to hold books or other home decor items. You could also put a bunch of small plants in pots in the niche. There are many choices, and it’s up to you!
While I love how convenient new homes are, I also love how old homes have little details that make them unique. The house we live in is very old, so old that the idea of a phone niche was a long time away. Does your house have a place for the phone? If so, I’m very envious!
People Everywhere Are Loving This Gorilla. Just Wait Till He Turns Around And You Will Know Why.
Animals are the obsession of the Internet. We can’t get enough of viewing videos of cats, reading about stray dogs that have been saved, or researching exotic animals. It is therefore not surprising that this silverback gorilla is so well-liked.
His name is Ambam, and he lives at the Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent, England, with his family. He is, as said earlier, a silverback gorilla, which is not unusual. But what distinguishes him is that he can walk like a person on two legs. It’s important to remember that Ambam is a magnificent 6-foot-34-stone gorilla.
The zoo experts find it astounding that he picked up walking on his own. He immediately became an adept by simply imitating the zookeepers. It’s a really amazing sight.
