As I've said before, I'm an Efficiency Type of person. So I have been using the facts that I'm on maternity leave and that Franca is an amazing baby to do some "Bunny-izations" around the house.
(Yes, yes, I'm also sleeping and we know she likely will not be this terrific forever.)
Bunny-ization #1:
A simple one to start: Put the 3 couch cushion buttons back on that my funny nephew Owen removed for us about 6 months ago. :) It seems like an easy task, but I quickly realized I don't own a 6" needle and therefore, this task needed to be Bunny-ized! So of course, I did what any sensible person would do and busted out a wooden kabob skewer and some duct tape!
Attach thread to skewer w/ duct tape, push thru cushion & tie off!
Bunny-ization #2:
Friends of mine who actually BUY furniture got a new coffee table shipped to them with a broken drawer. The company shipped them a new one and said don't bother shipping the broken one back. So of course, they gave us the broken coffee table (SCORE!). I quickly Bunny-ized the broken drawer front.
First, I cut two small pieces of 2x4, back screw them to the drawer front and then screwed thru the drawer sides. Ugly from the inside, but fixed!
Here's the couch w/ buttons and the new coffee table:
Bunny-ization #3:
Our bathroom door knob has been loose since we bought this house 3 years ago. No biggie, except that when you open and close the bathroom door, the knob slides back and forth essentially announcing to the house that you are about the use the facilities. Klassy.
This is not really a Bunny-ization, but the fact that it took 3 years to get around to it and honestly 30 seconds to complete the task makes it one.
See that nice, loud gap there?
and now you don't!
That's all for this installment of Bunnizations!
Time to feed the Franca!

our bathroom door knob is just like that... maybe i should go fix it if it's only going to take 30 seconds.
ReplyDeletethanks for the comments the other day, this whole exam thing is kind of stressing me out!
