Fix-It Friday is an occasional series that details the projects I’ve done around the house. Check out some past posts here and here. The old fixture looked like this, with a plain plastic cover to hide the bulbs. This past weekend, I decided to tackle a home improvement project I’ve had on the back [...] I will never be someone who makes her own deodorant like Matt at DIYnatural, or who composts like Mrs. Money at Ultimate Money Blog.
