Loving Your Art
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009
Live in harmony with your art pieces by taking care of them. Here are some tips:
1. Keep your art pieces away from direct sunlight.
2. Open up your windows and keep your art pieces in room temperature. In our tropical country, unless you have a 24-hour dehumidifier, it’s better to keep your windows open. Let your art pieces go with the temperature of the room instead of turning on the air-conditioner then turning it off. Instead, let the temperature go up and down.
3. Occasionally dust off your art pieces. Dust them lightly using a soft-bristled brush. Remember, you’re just taking the dust off the surface.
4. Keep hands off the painting. This would prevent the natural oil of your hand from sticking unto the art piece.
5. On storing art pieces, place them on a rack where the surface of the painting isn’t much touching much another thing.
6. Do not seal off paintings in plastic wraps. The humidity would get trapped inside. Remember that paintings need to breathe. Instead, use non-woven fabrics because painting can still breathe.

Do Magic by Painting your House
Friday, July 3rd, 2009
Give new life to old things with a coat or two of paint.
In these lean times, many of us are looking for ways to save money. But cutting costs shouldn’t stop you from making your house beautiful. There are many hidden treasures around your home just waiting to be discovered. All you need is a paintbrush in one hand, a can of paint in the other, and a weekend to complete any of these instant makeover projects.
Go over your house, room by room, and gather the knick-knacks you’ve collected over the years. Don’t toss them! Now instead of letting them collect dust, paint these all in sophisticated white and display it freeform-style on a bookshelf or small side table. You’ll be surprised at how these items (even the tackiest ones) will look interesting again!
