No, I'm sure I've seen his reflection in our ensuite mirror from time to time. But, we're both getting on a bit now, and that could have something to do with it... Though, I live in my own world, where I imagine everyone's eyesight is as bad as mine, so I still don't look too bad!!! Until I put my glasses on....... But we're both healthy and active, which is what counts! Thanks for the positive feedback on the large print and padded bench. I think I get a long planter for under the coat rack and an umbrella stand for the corner where the plant is now.... Any thoughts on this Umbrella stand?????? I really wanted a tall black ceramic one, but impossible to find!!!

We...actually mean me use gravity hooks AKA the floor for most coats , living in rental at the moment and not allowed to screw anything into the walls. We have some over the door coat hooks from Ikea which drive me demented as it means the doors don't shut properly.....currently designing our dream house, could find a beautiful space for this.....might even give up my gravity hooks which would please the other half no end

This isn't a personal recommendation as I have not yet purchased anything from this company, but I've been admiring the timber floating shelves on their website. https://shelvingshop.com.au/product-category/floating-shelves/wood-effect-finish/ Or you can buy the brackets and have the shelf custom made in whatever material and size you want. https://shelvingshop.com.au/product-category/brackets-2/floating-shelving-brackets/  I think hardware stores also sell brackets by themselves. I was thinking of going the custom route because that means I can ensure the brackets will be attached to the studs. I believe you can paint melamine after proper preparation of the surface, but I doubt if you can stain it.
