Fabulous Fresh Ideas

A Canadian House and Home Condos Lofts and Apartments Magazine recently featured these trendy tricks and ideas.

Go to www.juliakennett.com/Newsletters.ubr to download April 2008's newsletter and view the pictures of these products:

1) Put Books to Work!

Use Umbra’s  wall mounted Flybrary shelf to not only hang your books, but also as a shelf!  (retailers across Canada)

2) Hang That Soap?

A metal cylinder is pushed into the soap which then hangs by a magnet from a wall mount.  Your soap lasts longer and looks like art!

3) Easy Mouldings to Trick the Eye

#1  Mounting decorative mouldings under plain shelves can really dress them up and add an elegant feel.  

#2  Updating plain baseboards can be easy by adding a strip of crown moulding above the baseboard leaving a gap between the two.  Then when the baseboard, moulding, and strip of wall in between are all painted they appear as one!
