It's all about decoupage! Yes, its not just for Victoriana anymore decoupage is a technique that can be adapted to all sorts of fascinating projects.
Now I used it as a furniture finish for the surface of my desk and its proved to be both durable and decorative for 8 years now. Its an easy solution for unfinished furniture and can become the focal point of a room.
What makes decoupage interesting is what you choose to apply to your surface. Now we used computer printouts of a wall paper pattern that mimicked tile. We just scanned the paper into the computer, broke out an individual tile from the pattern using a photo editing program and then printed it out 60 times. We laid the job out like a traditional tile job, working out from the center of the surface. We also planned out the job first, so we could just lay the pre cut, pre fitted tiles out without cutting as we went.
Now you dont have to use tiles or even computer printouts. There are so many options for decoupage out there magazines, newspapers, playbills, virtually any paper product can be decoupaged to a surface. Some things to remember are that edges can catch and peel, so thin paper is best, if you plan to decoupage a table or desk top its a good idea to cover the art with glass and plan the project out before you glue it down the medium is notoriously unforgiving.

Brini, what was the song you did on the show a while back prior to your guests arriving to a party? I loved it but cannot remember the name. I think it is you and your music guy and he puts on a record and you sing to it. What was that I loved it. Is it available on youtube?
That song is called Entertaining at Home. It was part of a 1958 trade show for Holiday Magazine and Du Pont fibers, written by Michael Martin Brown. It's something of a signature tune for me.
