Our house has a large vent for the central heating and cooling. It is placed on the stair landing, right in a very prominent place readily visible as you enter my home and if you sit at certain places in my living room. Not really a very pleasing sight.
The problem is ,you can't block the vent as it will impede the flow of air. Other than the obvious, placing a piece of decorative material over it I was in a quandary what to do.
First I purchased a very tall narrow antique bird cage to obscure it's appearance. It would allow air flow and worked to a certain degree but it seemed awkward and wasn't quite tall enough.
Then I remembered a hall tree that I had bought some time ago for $35 from the Salvation Army. It's back was very open and would look great in that spot.
It had carvings and brass poles across the top along with a few hooks to hang some of my collectibles.
I ventured again into my "Hoarders" garage dragged my prize and put it in place and my problem was solved!
The birdcage found it's way into my garden making a home for my$.99 store ceramic birds.
