HAVE A BORING VIEW?  Fantasy Shade

 

FANTASY SHADES

 

(www.melissaborrell.com) provide subtle suggestions of leafy boughs or umbrella trees backlit by the sun.  As seen in O At Home.   Great idea for anyone trying to sell a home  to detract from the current view.

GRILL IT! 
Korin Grill 
Now even solo you can enjoy a burger, skewers, fish kebobs, and more.  Korin's outdoor grill is carved from a single piece of Keisodo clay and delivers nearly smokeless grilling.  At  7" x 7" x 5½" , it has the appearance of a beautiful ceramic candle holder.  Check out the other styles and wood base accessory at www.korin.com.  Look under Kitchenware/Grilling Items.  Mention "domino deals" at check out and receive 20% off the regular $38.50 price.  As seen in June/July 2008 Domino (www.dominomag.com).

 THINK OUTSIDE THE FRAME!  Another great idea from O At Home's Summer 2008 issue.  They borrowed stylist Michael Walter's idea of utilizing wooden clamp pants hangers as impromptu picture hangers.  Just clamp on a photo or drawing and hang in pairs or groupings for a quick and sophisticated art wall.  Think of kids' school drawings, botanical prints, fabric samples, etc.  Check out more of Michael's ideas in his co-authored book Photos:  Style Recipes (Fireside $16).
