Onward with the weekly hack challenge – where each week I have to hack an item and upcycle it into something completely new, typically decor related. I’m so tickled with how last week’s project of the DIY solar paper lamps went, and I’m also excited about this week’s project: an upcycled DIY record side table! I’ll be honest – I had a completely different idea for this week originally, but I was having trouble at the hardware store finding screws with the right threading, the right head and the right length that I needed for that other project ..

Plus, I am thinking that it is something that a lot of people will find helpful. But … since we have a little time before it starts, I thought it would be fun to play a little guessing … Read more

Hello people … well, I guess we know each other pretty well now, eh? So I’ll tell you .. I almost decided not to put up this post today. As I am writing this (Tuesday evening), I am wrapped up in cover and have a mug of tea in hand – I have just not been feeling very well today. Because of this, I feel like I don’t have the full focus I like to have when dealing with such an important topic as what we’ve been discussing on Wednesdays. I want you all to know that I don’t write … Read more
