| 0:00.0 | As you know, it doesn't have to cost a lot to be fabulous. |
| 0:11.4 | I'm Kelly Wilkins here with Anita Joyce, and this is Decorating Tips and Tricks, |
| 0:16.0 | Episode 409, Decorating Ideas Under 50 Bucks. We have lots of inspiration ideas and actually some |
| 0:25.3 | specific items for you to make your home even that much more fabulous for just a little bit |
| 0:32.4 | of money. We're really excited to dive into these ideas today. And the episode is sponsored by Diane James Home. |
| 0:40.5 | And we do have a fabulous giveaway from Diane James Home for a $150 gift certificate. |
| 0:46.5 | So listen on so you can enter to win. |
| 0:49.6 | So, Anita, what are your fabulous ideas for under 50 bucks? Where do I even start? I mean, there's so many |
| 0:58.5 | things you can do for under 50 bucks that I had to just shut myself down because I could just |
| 1:04.9 | keep going and going and going. But so I picked some specific items and I have some just general ideas, as you discussed. |

| 1:55.2 | the dimensions. Okay. And it probably comes in some different colors, too. They usually have a variety of colors. It probably does, but you know, that one really caught my eye. |
| 2:02.6 | Okay. Sealing medallion. That is a really inexpensive way to jazz it up. You might not even think about adding one of those or you might think, oh, that's just four or more ornate homes. But there are really simple ceiling medallions, and it just adds this extra profile to your ceiling. |
| 2:19.5 | You know, I'm always talking about considering your ceiling like the fifth wall and doing some |
| 2:24.0 | interesting treatment on it. So even if you didn't want to paint it or blanket or wallpaper it |
| 2:30.1 | or make it metallic like I've been talking about in the past, simply adding a ceiling medallion |
