Transcript excerpt

Pantyhose to turn my pennants into pots of good? I wasn't about to host a boring Saint Patrick's Day party, but in case you're new here, I like to make things that look expensive on a budget. And today, I started by turning my wall into a massive Irish flag before pulling out my projector to make a lit up shamrock over it. But after slicing the pool noodles to add the lights, I realized mine had broken. So while I waited for those to arrive, I moved on, shockingly with yet another use of pantyhose. And that's when the paper plates came out to create the craziest vision. So good. And by then, I finally had the lights, installing them in my shamrock, and bringing the tavern like vibes to the kitchen with vinyl and a clover island. I also had to accentuate my gold with some spotlights before giving the tavern exactly what it deserved, a custom sign made out of recycling and a cricket. And did a pop gluing it on, and oh my good, you guys. It was perfect. Tier is how it looked after a couple of days. Stay tuned to see what I do to the dining table and the entryway where I create this massive lit up rainbow for people to walk through.
