It’s lovely to have an indoor task on these chilly nights. 6 GoodGymers gathered in the heart of Kingston to help re-arrange furniture in the British Heart Foundation home store. At 17,000 sq ft across 3 floors, it’s pretty big for its kind. You can find anything from filing cabinets to exercise equipment through to cute footstools in shape of animals. We were tasked with rearranging a particular section of the shop with items for quick sale – we learnt that height matters here 😊 Tall cupboards at the back with just the right width corridor in between with lower units in front and the little ones forming the front row. All so it’s easily seen and accessed by potential buyers looking for a bargain.
Whilst retrieving couple of sofas and armchairs from the basement floor, we have also been given a tour of the space – Aladdin’s cave is an understatement. All items in the right order and place, we finished off with a lovely group picture blending in with just the right kind of red in the background with animals of our choice providing a bit of respite before heading to swimming for Rachel & Jennie.
