How to Reuse Your Old Scrabble Board

By Elizabeth Seward IN Home & Garden Sep 9 2008

I recently started revamping my apartment. To be fair, I do this regularly, but I've been a whole lot more thorough this time around.

The idea of getting rid of it really pained me because it was the Scrabble board that my family grew up with. I remember countless games oriented around that one board when I was a child. + READ MORE
