:::::::::::: The ReMix
Christmas is a special holiday. I love to receive “homemade” gifts. I love to give them. This year was no different.
I’m slowly redecorating my fiancee’ home office. My first project, I hoped to increase the office’s functionality. Furthermore, I’d hoped give the room a funki, sexy and unique focal point.
The goal was to build two push pin panels to hold papers, calendars and receipts. Additionally, a dry erase board was added so she could jot down notes and reminders.
In keeping with our mission, every major component was purchased local thrift stores.
The project was an overwhelming success.
