I know, I said yesterday would be an update on my master bath reno, but I’ve delayed that so there will be more to see. Just a hint: Tile is being laid as I write this!!
That said, here are the fun and newsy must-reads I read this week and thought you’d enjoy…
The tour’s cool, but what really caught my eye were those letters shaped from Reader’s Digest Condensed Books—the best repurposing of these I’ve seen to date. There’s no tutorial, but I’m guessing it involves a straight edge, and a jigsaw. C’mon, admit it: You’ve always wanted to mess with power tools. What would you spell out?
