My husband moved his office downstairs this week — we’re swapping spaces between his office and my reading/ chilling spot. He’s been wanting to for a while, but there’s no internet downstairs and wifi doesn’t cut it. Then he realized that the previous owners had installed phone jacks using cat5 cable instead of pots, which he could reconnect/ reconfigure to create an internet connection downstairs using the existing cable 🦾 Now I’m excited to have a new space to decorate for my reading room *rubs hands together*
