Mum’s ingenious $10 Kmart hack

-
A GOLD Coast mum has revealed a "hack" to transform a $35 Kmart side table into something "classy and elegant" using simple stick-on fretwork.

Kylie Hughes from Stylkea, which launched last year selling peel-and-stick panels that turn simple Ikea furniture into something resembling a $5000 Jonathan Adler piece, has now branched into the world of "Kmart mums".

Ms Hughes said the online business was now bringing in $4000 a month, and she planned to quit her day job to focus on it full-time from July 1. "I think I've proved the concept," she said.
"If I really give my full attention to it, I can bring out more ranges. My next step is to do more collaborations with interior designers. There are a lot of creative avenues.

If you feel as though you spend half your life tilting your head every which way, or hanging off the back veranda just to get one bar of coverage on your mobile phone – you could be in luck. The Federal Government has allocated $25 million to the fourth round of the Mobile Black Spot Program. The competitive selection process for round four of the program is expected to commence later this year, and Mr van Manen suggests any Gold Coasters who believe they live or work in a black spot to have their voice heard. “I encourage local residents, businesses and community organisations to engage with their state and local governments through the consultation process to enhance coverage outcomes.” Read this News:  http://www.mygc.com.au/better-mobile-phone-coverage-on-the-way/
