Furnishing My Home!

I found another brilliant tip from Martha Stewart on how to store your jewelry.  If you have many orphaned teacups and saucers, do not throw them away.  Though you cannot use them to keep your prenatal vitamins, these teacups and saucers are just perfect for sorting your jewelry.  Just arrange them in your drawer and you will get to spot your jewelry right away.  Line your drawer with felt or velvet to prevent sliding.  Neat eh?  Drop earrings can be hooked on the rims of the cups.  It is time for me to take out all my jewelry and do some spring cleaning.

I just love this idea from Martha Stewart’s blog.   If you don’t know already, I love using furniture or knick-knacks made from bamboo or wood.  I was going through some tips on how to organize the kitchen at Martha’s blog, I was delighted to see how she use a bamboo steamer to store onions, shallots and garlic.  How come I never thought of using this eh?  Bamboo steamers have holes which let the air in or out when steaming.  Therefore, these steamers are just perfect for storing items which require ventilation.   You can place a tray or plate at the bottom to catch flaking skins or perhaps line it with paper towels.  Ok, I am going out to get a few bamboo steamers soon.
