Of course the best thing about getting a new washing machine is that it comes in a really big box!!! With a sharp knife and some good sticky tape we created a cubby house, with a sky light! Simple pleasures…
Paint Big!
What do you do when you get some really big bits of cardboard after an Ikea purchase, but they are not in box form and there is only two of them so all attempts at making a cubby fail miserably? You paint BIG, that’s what you do! Ikea is also a good resource for drawing […]
