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)
