My Chinese better half appreciates his heritage being honored in our home, as well. We use a lot of red, gray, black and gold because it goes well with the Asian decore celebrating his culture, but also works well with my European culture as well. Being a landlord, I would probably not want my rental units painted with red walls. That being said, you can still use your walls to your decorating advantage. For example, we inherited and collect vintage Chinese and Japanese gowns (which you can often find in thrift stores and in China towns). We hang them on our walls using decorative drapery rods as art because they are so beautiful. I give them “faces” by hanging my collection of venetian masks above each gown.

You can also find beautiful Chinese toile brocade fabric at JoAnne’s fabric store and when you use the 40% off circular cupon they are quite inexpensive. I’ve used this fabric to make pillows, placemats, even a throw with fringe sewn to the edges. They make beautiful valances and draperies as well.

Chinese tend to like rosewood which resembles a mahogany wood tone. You can pick up beautiful, yet very inexpensive stands upon which you can put plants, vases and sculpture either table top or or on the floor. Lucky bamboo in a chinese pot look great and bring your home luck.

Look at the stamp stores where they have a boxed collection of chinese language symbols. You can blow these up (once stamped on a surface) and do all kinds of things with them. You can make a stencil and use fabric paint to make placemats, a table runner, art…My collection cost less than 10 dollars and I never stop finding uses for it.

You can also find Chinese symbols which are on bedspreads (Brylane home, Chadwicks home, Spiegel, bed bath and beyond, linen N things) also I found them embroidered in gold on black towels as well.

I have a signed ceramic coffee mug, how do I preserve it?

Do you have any tips what can be used as enamel?

There is a clear, glossy spray called Ceramicoat. It looks like a china glaze when dry. You can buy it at a craft store or at a Walmart. If it is a valuable collector’s signature that you want to preserve, I would be more inclined to take it to a china store and have it done professionally.

what happened to travel mugs that could be used in the microwave ?

why can’t I find any travel coffee mugs that are microwave safe ?

Try Dunkin Doughnuts, it doesn’t SAY that it’s microwave safe, but that’s what I use it for. I had the same problem.

Not a speck of metal on it, all plastic (and considering I’ve used it many times.. hasn’t melted) All for the price of like 3 dollars. You get free hot chocolate when you buy it too!

Would an electric coffee cup warmer work as a fondue warmer?

I am hosting a Fondue party this weekend for mine and my roommates friends and coworkers and I would like to do it for as cheap as possible. As such, I am wondering if going down to the Salvation Army and picking up a used coffee cup warmer would do just as good a job as a fancy fondue set.

get a double boiler used or get a big pot and put a few inches of water in the bottom and set to boil then get a 2nd pot with handles on both sides so you can set it in the big pot but with out the bottom of the smaller pan touching the water. this will cause the cheese or chocolate to melt but not burn.
