DIY IKEA Hack: $20 LÄTT children’s table & chairs makeover

I’m in the middle of turning Sophie’s room from a “nursery” into a toddler room.  So I spent November sorting out “baby” stuff to make room for toddler-type activities & furniture.

last minute d.i.y. gifts from kids

Here’s a quickie D.I.Y. project I did with Sophie tonight for her grandparents: I was a bit ‘stuck’ on what to get my parents. Really, when you’re in your 50s, you don’t need anything. But I also didn’t want to give them “junk.” When it occurred to me in IKEA a week ago, why not...
