What was this for and why a bottom shelf

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!

Put Your Observation Skills to the Test! 

Welcome, fellow observer! Today, we have a special challenge lined up just for you. Prepare to put your keen eye to the test and see just how observant you truly are.

A Tranquil Beach Scene

In this seemingly tranquil beach scene, a couple is enjoying a romantic date. They are holding hands while taking in the breathtaking view of the ocean. Everything appears perfect, but don’t be fooled – there are not one, but TWO major errors hiding in plain sight.

Time to Unveil the Mistakes

Let’s take a closer look at this picture-perfect scene. The first error becomes apparent when you notice the presence of not one, but TWO moons in the sky. That’s right, a full moon and a crescent moon – an absolute impossibility! It seems like nature has played a little trick on us.

But that’s not all. The second mistake is a bit more subtle, yet equally noticeable once you spot it. Take a closer look at the couple’s hands – you’ll see an extra hand holding a phone. That’s quite a glaring mistake, isn’t it? It seems even the most idyllic images can have their fair share of discrepancies.

How Did You Fare?

So, how did you do in uncovering these tricky errors? Did you spot both the multiple moons and the extra hand? If so, congratulations on your observation skills! It’s not easy to catch these illusions.

If not, don’t worry – these illusions can be quite deceiving. Keep honing your observation skills and you’ll spot even the trickiest of errors in no time.
