What on Earth is an Etagere?
My wife has this rather sweet habit of throwing in a French word every now and then. Of course, I’m always impressed. I know “je” and that’s about it. But when we were talking about bathroom storage she threw in something about a toilet etagere. “Is that like a bidet?” I asked, in all innocence. She smiled with that superior look she was planning when she mentioned etagere. “It’s for over the toilet storage” she informed me. It clicked: “Aah, you mean a toilet space saver?”. She patted me on the head like a child. “You got it, buddy,” she mocked.
