hi, i'm ann myrick and today i'm going toshow you how to breathe new life into accessories you already have. i work--i'm a decorator,and i work with what, what people have, and my focus is really, i'm a--i'm a creativeperson that loves to use what is there and be challenged to come up with new ideas. it'simportant to me to just help people understand that they are sitting on, already in theirhouse, so many things that they can turn into other things or they could breathe new lifeinto. this is a basket that i love that you can sit it on a table or put it on a walland, of course, with a basket you can put anything in it, but this has just a driedflower arrangement in it, and this is going to be messy, but just to show you very quicklyhow you can change it up, totally, would be
you take this--now you can take it to yourbathroom and load it up with toilet paper and soaps and everything, but today i'm goingto use it for a glass caddy. i'm having company and i want to be able to contain my glasses,and so i'm just going to use it as a glass caddy. so, i have kind of a rough basket lookwith glasses. i could line some plates up behind the glasses. i could put napkins init, but i just turned it in to like a little caddy for a party. that's one thing you cando with that. now, i have this great little piece that i got, and it really is more lifefor dried flowers or like a little planter, but i loved it because it had all the wire--thelittle holes in it. so, what i did is instead of, i was trying to think of something thati could put--i am an earring person, and i
love earrings. so, i was trying to think ofsomething that i could put all my earring on, and what i've done is i just hang it inthe bathroom, and i load it up--i load it up with all my earrings, and it makes justa really cute earring holder; and then when i get finished with that i can use it anotherway. another thing i love to do is; your silver pieces, your old silver pieces, instead ofjust letting them collect dust, use them. this one i have use as a flower arrangementor put greenery in. this one i use to hold a candle and i put it in the bathroom andit's just-- it makes a real fun, different look. this is ann myrick and that is how toaccessorize and breathe new life into your accessories.
