Description: Hello people! Brini here again with some (more...) more ideas for your home. This week it's all about decoupage! Yes, it's not just for Victoriana anymore ' decoupage is a technique that can be adapted to all sorts of fascinating projects. Now I used it as a furniture finish for the surface of my desk and it's proved to be both durable and decorative for 7 years now. It's an easy solution for unfinished furniture and can become the focal point of a room. What makes decoupage interesting is what you choose to apply to your surface. Now we used computer printouts of a wall paper pattern that mimicked tile. We just scanned the paper into the computer, broke out an individual tile from the pattern using a photo editing program and then printed it out 60 times. We laid the job out like a traditional tile job, working out from the center of the surface. We also planned out the job first, so we could just lay the pre cut, pre fitted tiles out without cutting as we went. Now you don't have to use tiles or even computer printouts. There are so many options for decoupage out there ' magazines, newspapers, playbills, virtually any paper product can be decoupaged to a surface. Some things to remember are that edges can catch and peel, so thin paper is best, if you plan to decoupage a table or desk top it's a good idea to cover the art with glass and plan the project out before you glue it down ' the medium is notoriously unforgiving. This week on my NPR podcast I'm discussing brunch. It's more than a meal, it's an opportunity! Be sure and listen' Here are some ideas for dishes to serve: Crown Roast of Cheese The Federal Pancake Fabulous Fondue Don't forget to have a gander at the Brini Maxwell auctions this week. There are lots of fun new items to consider. (less)

Description: Hello people! Another week of tips is (more...) upon us and this week it s all about storage. Under bed (or in my case, under sofa) storage bins are a great way to utilize otherwise wasted space. You can find them in many home stores, but a more eco friendly and efficient way to create them is to attach small casters to drawers from an old piece of furniture. The casters can be found at hardware stores for a nominal fee and you may already have an old chest lying around. If not you can find them inexpensively at thrift shops and garage sales. Make sure the drawers fit under your bed, allowing for the added height of the casters first. I like to store my soap among my towels. Unwrapped, it makes them smell so fresh and pretty. Give it a try! Storage can be quite a problem in smaller homes. I like to take advantage of every space I can by finding the proper storage equipment. Stores like The Container Store and Hold Everything have great products that make organization easy. The first step is to assess what you have to store. Open up that cabinet or closet that you ve been dreading looking at and bring out the clutter. Look it over and categorize it, then you ll have a sense of what sort of containers you ll need. Will everything fit in small shoebox sized bins or do you need larger ones? Will you need small trays with compartments in them? Once you ve made you decision, buy the pieces right away. Don t put everything back until you ve put it all into the new containers. Decorative storage can be extremely useful as well. I m particularly fond of my beautiful leather jewelry boxes. They have a place of honor in my bedroom. Not only do they organize my jewelry beautifully, they serve as a delightful accent in the room. This can apply to all sorts of decorative boxes of many sizes that can be used to store everything from games to remotes to office supplies. Remember, keep your clutter down to a minimum and your home will be a much nicer place to inhabit! This week on my NPR podcast I m discussing spring cleaning- that age old ritual is still a wonderful way to start fresh. Be sure and have a listen! (less)
