The Neutron and the Neutron Plus can cut up to 10 sheets of 20lb paper at one time, and has a quick change blade system that allows you to change blades quickly, easily and safely. These trimmers are perfect for home use such as scrapbooking and creating photo projects. The Neutron Plus gives the user the added creative flexibility of three additional blade styles: wavy, perforating, and scoring/fold. The Neutron Plus also features a metallic cutting bed which increases durability.
2. Proton: For your home office or smaller business, Fellowes offers the Proton line of trimmers. Like the Neutron, the Proton trimmer cuts up to 10 sheets at a time, and has the same safety-minded blade changing system. The Proton machines also have variable paper clamps that ensure that your cuts will be precise, and cutting guides that allow for different paper sizes, photos and even angled cuts. The Proton is available with either a 12-inch or 18-inch cutting length. Both models feature convenient carrying points for easy and safe portability.
3. Electron: The next step up, and the perfect trimmer for a small office setting, is the Fellowes Electron trimmer. Like the two models mentioned above, the Electron has the capability to cut ten sheets at once and also uses the Fellowes SafeCut safety blades and quick-change blade system. The Electron, however, features the Fellowes trademark SafeCut LED guide, which gives the user a straight guide line without the use of lasers. The Electron comes with four different blade styles: straight, wavy, scoring and perforating, also features a durable metal cutting base with an integrated storage compartment for blades that are not in use. The Electron is also designed for easy portability, and features clamps for cutting precision.
4. Atom: If you have a large office and are regularly involved with high-volume projects, the Atom series of rotary paper trimmers is probably the way to go. The Atom can cut up to thirty sheets at one time and has an extremely durable metal base with non-skid feet for added safety and accuracy. This cutter offers various cutting guides that allow the user to use many different paper sizes. It even has markings for use in creating angled cuts. The Atom also has an automatically-engaging paper clamp that holds the paper in place during cutting thus ensuring a nice straight cut. This machine has a heavy duty blade that will cut through cardstock, foam board, and plastic sheeting.

No matter what size business you are, producing your own reports, presentations, and proposals is a great way to take the next step forward.

It has been said that everything old is new again. So it is with bird cages. Antique bird cages are a popular addition to many houses and apartments. They fit in with many styles of decorating, including Victorian and shabby chic. Chinese antique bird cages are available for an Eastern flair.

If you are buying an actual antique, prepare to pay a hefty price. Be on the lookout, though, at garage sales and flea markets. Sometimes you can find an undiscovered treasure for mere pennies. More likely, though, you will have to pay.

Ebay is one place to check for antique bird cages. Before spending a large amount of money, make sure that your seller is reputable. One way to ensure this is to only buy from sellers with positive feedback.

Though authentic antique cages are pleasing to the eye, they are not the best home for your bird. Many antique bird cages are treated with chemicals or paints that can be toxic to your bird. If you buy a true antique, use it for decorative purposes only.

If you desire the look of antiques without the price tag, reproductions are also available. Replica antique bird cages often maintain the look and style of the original, but at a fraction of the cost. Victorian reproductions are especially popular. Select Home Décor is one source for reproductions. Department stores, home décor stores, and some home improvement stores also sell faux antique bird cages.

Housing is in a trend right now to smaller more efficient living spaces with a focus on quality materials in smaller homes with multi-use spaces. The drive by the average home owner for large sprawling living spaces seems to have been replaced by the desire to live in smaller, richer environments with rooms that serve more than one purpose. One way to take best advantage of a smaller space is with built in organizers ranging from closet organizers and pantries to murphy beds and tables.

Many modern homeowners use a home office for work or home finances, but need the flexibility to use this space as guest accommodations as well. One great solution to this problem is the modern version of the murphy bed. In a particularly small room, you might even want to opt for a murphy bed that has a fold down table incorporated on the underside.

Smaller homes usually have smaller kitchens which can be a bit of struggle for home owners who enjoy cooking. One option for a smaller home is an open design between the kitchen and dining area with an eating bar in between, opening up the work space nicely. Also consider built in appliances like ovens or range tops. A built-in oven can even be placed at a more easily accessed height partway up the wall, making for less stooping while you cook. Many appliances come in smaller sizes which might also work well in a more moderately sized kitchen.

A more condensed bathroom is often encountered not just in smaller homes but also in many larger homes as well, particularly with secondary or ensuite bathrooms. Unless a bathroom is specifically set aside for guests, they seem to be chronically disorganized due to being so well used by everyone in the house. If there is not much cabinet space in your bathroom, some well placed built-in shelving or cupboards can make a huge difference to the space available for organizing your bathroom. If you can’t build in, try an over toilet shelf to give you that extra space.

All in all, with our current trends to smaller living spaces, we need to be more creative about how we use and organize in our homes. The more that we can creatively use these smaller spaces, the more comfortable we can live in them.
