Making a safe home for dad
Eventually it happens to us all if we are lucky. We get old and hopefully wise. But with the wisdom comes worsening vision, hearing and less mobility.

Fortunately for me he was my father and a good client.

Tastes change. An ornate floral flatware I once thought pretty soon looked fussy. The simple charm of a Dhurrie area rug later felt as appealing as a horse-hair shirt. A “timeless” black sofa with red stripes almost immediately appeared full of all kinds of time, most of it best forgotten in the ‘80s.

Not just a doorknob
I have hung old doors throughout my house. Old doors require old knobs, so I have invested in quite a few. And of course, once they’re sitting around the house, in plain view, other ideas come up.
