Rhiannon Ally: We’re getting creative and showing you cheap poise to decorate by
bringing the outside indoors. Mar do we are making today.
Mar Jennings: Indoor and make expensive is not always better, you have to learn to have
a really great eye and discover beautiful things at off price stores and there
is a lot of them available. My favorite is home goods and this all came
from home goods this beautiful glassware. But what you do with it really
makes a different, whether you—
Rhiannon Ally: And these all are cheap, you said just a couple –
Mar Jennings: Very inexpensive, this was 8.99 isn’t that beautiful? And the beautiful
thing about this is that you can change it out and you can put different
things in it, depending of from what time year it is.
Rhiannon Ally: This is a bag of nuts.
Mar Jennings: A bag of nuts, okay right gorgeous. How beautiful display it is and it’s a
real decorating secret is about bring this great element and introducing
them into your home but what you do with them is really important. You
put lemons in there or you can even add some fruit to put a pear in there
and whatever you do just completely gives it a whole new meaning in a
different approach to it right?
Rhiannon Ally: Yes and here I love this, can we show this?
Mar Jennings: Another great vase, look at this and again I’ve picking some pine cones
and I’ve create this wonderful little balls and I put some chestnuts here
and some hazelnuts, excuse me. And the hazelnuts are just the wonderful
way to incorporate again texture, paint from outdoor, things that are
natural and organic.
Rhiannon Ally: You can even use acorn and look at this, you glued this ball together.
Mar Jennings: I did and you know I sold this, it was mad it was expensive and I said I
could do this so want to have and created this beautiful ball and what I do
is I spray with hair spray to give it this great laughter and shin and it just
make it to a real impact you will love that. It’s a conversation piece and
you can do that every couple of years when I get best to that go ahead and
hit some more hairspray with it.
Rhiannon Ally: So here spray and the glue gun, love that.
Mar Jennings: It’s perfect, easy project to do.
Rhiannon Ally: Okay, we’re moving to the table.
Mar Jennings: Let’s move to the table and you know your table’s keep is so important
especially if you’re entertaining for the holiday.
Rhiannon Ally: But it doesn’t have to be expensive?
Mar Jennings: It doesn’t have to be expensive, again all price stores a great resource
these things came from home goods and I’m going to start with this
beautiful decorative plate just $3 now a simple play can change out the
entire experience of the table skip you can do a thanksgiving plate or you
can do a Christmas plate. Another way, key way to dress up your table and
you don’t have to even invite Mother Nature to sit down is using a
magnolia leaf and with the metallic paint you can simple write your guest
name on it and you can put that on the table on the beautiful women
napkin and that way is just speaks the people to say, wow it’s creative, it’s
a great way to use Mother Nature elements, a beautiful magnolia leaf and
then of course just writing peoples names on it.
Rhiannon Ally: And it’s inexpensive.

this for Lorrie.
