As a committed fan of both DIY
and clutter busting, you’d think I’d be all over the project Country Living magazine labeled “Fresh
Plotline For Used Book”. It’s basically the old-cleverly-conceal-the-t.v.-remote-in-a-book
ruse.
But no, I am not into it. In
fact, I am the opposite. I am actively
against this project. Because this plan seems like a perfect way to lose
the remote control forever.
And I need no help with this.
The guru crew loses the remote regularly. In fact, the remote is currently lost
– I mean, cleverly concealed – in a box. The problem is… which box?
Once I find the damn thing you
can bet I am not going to willingly
hide it again, anywhere, ever, even in an antique book, whose presence on my
coffee table makes me look readerly instead of junk-television-addicted.
This disguised remote project
doesn’t make me as mad as some of my other pet peeves (see getups in the Sundance
catalogue). But it gets me a little bit riled up. Clearly, I need to relax with
some mindless television.
Except I need the remote to do
that.
If you are not as bitter as I
am, and you want to tackle this project, google for instructions. Or go to the
library for the May 2013 edition of Country
Living.
Happy remote-control concealing, guru girls & guys!
