Ink up your tiles

hInk up your tiles

Too scared to get a tattoo? Try it on your tile.

Tile Tattoos by Mibo are heavy-duty, water-resistant stickers that can change the look of any tile.

Dab with water to apply (no glue required, which means no sticky residue).

The tats come in several designs and colors (black, red, green, blue, white or beige) on white or clear vinyl backgrounds.

A crackled finish on the Ventor design creates a vintage look.

Sold in sets of six, they come in three sizes and start at $16.

Photos on fabrics

Some photos deserve more than a frame.

PhotoShowerCurtain.com and FotoBed.com turn your photos or digital designs into custom fabric shower curtains or bedding products.

A sublimation process fuses the image into the fabric, leaving a permanent and durable imprint of the image.

The printing process doesn’t alter the texture of the fabric and even after repeated laundering, the image will not fade, crack or peel.

Popular choices are vacation photos and children’s art.

Pamper your guests at the dining table

Your guests won’t admit it, but they love to be pampered — especially at the table.

But a seven-course meal, though lovely, isn’t necessary.

They’ll feel special and welcome if you take the time to set it.

“Emily Chalmers’ Table Inspirations: Original Ideas for Stylish Entertaining” (Ryland Peters & Small; $19.95) covers selecting china, napkins, tablecloths, candles, flowers and more.

Find breakfast, lunch and dinner settings for almost every occasion imaginable.

Outdoor and international settings are included, too.

Remember that small efforts (personalizing boiled eggs) can yield big results (scoring points with the in-laws).
