I heart Brini Maxwell

Pam Kueber - Updated: August 9, 2021

Retro Renovation stopped publishing in 2021; these stories remain for historical information, as potential continued resources, and for archival purposes.

Brini MaxwellJenn Ski featured this simply wonderful Brini Maxwell video on her blog this week. And now I’m totally hooked.

Brini’s website describes her as “part Donna Reed, part Mary Tyler Moore” who weighs in weekly on decorating, food, entertaining and more — all with an ironic (?) retro flair. Hard to choose the right adjective!

A character invented several years ago by actor-designer Ben Sanders, she now has a super popular cable show and NPR podcast. Brini is the berries! Hey Stephan, Brini is shopping for a place in Palm Springs, too, the bio says!

Oh, I also loved this video because it dovetailed very nicely thank-you-very-much with my post about tidiness, last week. Enjoy! Meanwhile, I am going to reorganize my spice canisters.

    I’ve been a fan of Brini Maxwell since “she” first started appearing on cable television several years ago. But it is fun to know that “she” is looking for a place in Palm Springs! “She” would be a nice neighbor to have, though I am not sure I would recognize “her” (Ben Sanders) out of drag!

    We are spending the weekend trying to get our office organized and just generally reduce the clutter. What chaos, but it is going to be so nice when we are finished.
