Hello people, Brini here with some more ideas for freshening up your home. This week weâre finishing the cabinets and desk that we made on the previous episodes.  

Finishing is an important step. Here are some tips. 

Webbing tape is a must for filling cracks and holes. It gives the spackle something to cling to and makes the whole process a little easier. 

If you have large gaps in your wood work fill them with shims. The shims will fill in the space so you donât need so much spackle. 

Donât forget to sand â Sanding your spackling job will make it blend into the woodwork.  

After you sand run over your work with a tack cloth. Tack cloth is a loosely woven cloth impregnated with a sticky substance that picks up the dust.  

Repeat this process twice for a super smooth look. You can even sand between coats of paint if you want a hand rubbed finish. 

This week on my NPR podcast weâre talking with Dian Thomas about using dry ice for dramatic effects in your Halloween entertaining. Be sure and have a listen! 

Remember to have a gander at the Brini Maxwell auctions this week!
