      Just a hint. When using the tape pull slightly and wrap on itself. The stretching makes it sticky so you do not need to press and you will get a smoother, less bulky look.

    Yes Mary, I knew you could get the “Brown Floral Tape”. I ordered some for our youngest daughter’s wedding. I too wanted to match the natural color of branches. So I ordered 3 ….”3” thinking I was going to get 3 Rolls…. There were 10 in a ROLL ! LOL!!!!! She was married 10 years ago and I still have not opened 2 packages….LOL!!!
    That would be a pretty idea for a Spring Bridal Shower with pink blossoms on a branch ( since I’m not near beautiful blossoms like that ! )
    Thanks for the inspiration!

    I have had trees like that in my home for years. I put the mini fairy lights on them and fall foliage on them with the brown wrapped wire. That way it's easy to change out my leaves for different seasons. In the winter, the trees are bare but with the mini lights that really doesn't matter.

    That’s showing them Mary! I was at Lowe’s home improvement store yesterday and saw a faux palm and it was $169.00! 😳 No where near as nice as yours! That brown florist tape is the trick! Thank you for the lovely footage of the conservatory. We have one at the Biltmore House and Gardens near my home. I love walking through there and seeing all the orchids and other tropical plants. I also have a dream of having a little greenhouse/conservatory to sit in and relax. Knowing you Mary, you’ll build your own out of some leftover windows, etc., and it will look like a million bucks!!! 🌿

  • @Aiko2-26-9
    @Aiko2-26-9 Рік тому

    The tree turned out wonderfully. It really is the perfect touch for that corner. I really haven't paid too much attention to it in the past but I love your flooring. So many houses have a grayish flooring but I love your rich brown with all the white. You have such a good "eye".

I have many trees in my yard and a mountain of forest right behind my house. I hope I can be as fortunate as you were finding that ‘perfect’ branch even if some trimming was required. I can do that!! 😊 Thank you so much for this inspiration video! ❤

So, I try to find unique ways to bring green everything inside! I love your creative ideas. They inspire me to keep trying to find new ways to spruce up the dull winter months...punn intended!
    Mary, I bet you would love Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh, PA. I love to go in winter. A nature Lover's dream trip!
    They have plants galore! And, they are so welcoming there, too. I have gotten so many ideas there.
    Thank you and your family for sharing God's love.
