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!
Man Learns Daughter Isn’t His After DNA Test But His Wife Never Cheated On Him
A woman shared on Reddit that her husband took a paternity test, revealing he wasn’t the father of their daughter. She insisted she hadn’t cheated, but the results suggested otherwise. After further testing, the couple discovered the shocking truth: neither of them were their daughter’s biological parents.
The woman, 29, and her husband, 31, had been together since college and shared a 5-year-old daughter. After receiving the paternity test results, her husband’s behavior changed, becoming distant and spending more time at work.
Determined to prove her innocence, the woman convinced her husband to take additional tests. The results showed that their daughter wasn’t biologically related to either of them. They sued the hospital where she gave birth and a police investigation ensued.
Eventually, they found their biological daughter in foster care after another family had mistakenly taken her home from the hospital. The couple adopted her and sued the hospital, receiving a $2 million settlement. They explained the situation to their daughter and planned to move to a new town for a fresh start with their two girls.
