CHRISTMAS DECORATE WITH ME || PART 1 || 2024

[Music] [Applause] Mary hi guys and welcome back to my channel if you are new welcome my name is Hanah and on this channel we talk all things home decor home Aesthetics mixing high and low with no old and in today's video it is my first part one Christmas decorate with me for the year 2024 so if this is something you are interested in watching just keep on watching if you guys are just clicking on this video Welcome I take a very different approach when it comes to decorating for the holiday season if you are looking for something that's super traditional that screams Christmas you know your traditional red and white or red and green this is not going to be the video for you so the color palette that I chose to go for for this year's holiday Decor is kind of autumn colors burgundy red mustard yellow copper orange and then a hint of stage so I really wanted to embody this like fall tones utilizing things from previous years while still incorporating a few new things in order for this year to feel different from last so I'm honestly so happy with how this turned out I had an idea of what I wanted to do and I really wasn't quite sure if it was going to come full circle if it you know if it was going to turn out how I envisioned it to and honestly probably turned out better than I anticipated I have to say this is my favorite year thus far and I know I said that last year but I feel like every year I'm just gradually getting better I'm gradually evolving in my home decor I'm evolving in my decorating skills and I have to say I just really really love this year so I'm super excited to share it with you guys hopefully inspire you for your own homes if you are interested in where something is from I will do my best to link everything down below in the description box but I'm going to stop rambling I hope you guys enjoy my deck right with me let's get to it we are going to start with my fireplace mantle bringing in these command cord bundlers now I picked these up last year and these work really well for styling a mantle I've done hooks in the past and they just don't stick well to this wood so I love these for decorating my fireplace now I'm bringing in two different types of starter these are Garland of different breeds and I think the more that you guys can bring to your fireplace mantle as far as breeds goes textures the more interesting it's going to look and that's exactly what I really wanted to do for this look so you guys will see I bring in two garlands and I think the biggest takeaways you have to intertwine them you have to almost braid them together make twist them apart intertwine the stems together so that way Everything feels cohesive and that way it doesn't feel like you just placed two different garlands on top of each other and that even goes with bringing in different stems as well so this is just what works well for me I love the way this looks bringing in different colors and different breeds of of stems so like I mentioned I'm bringing in about 10 different fillers for this garlic I really wanted this mantle to have a wow factor and I think the more that I added the just more Grand and wow that it became so I bring in Norfolk and a lot of these stems are from Hobby Lobby I really wanted to embrace that fall color in this mantle look so we brought in that fall tone we brought in a ton of different textures from berries to thistle to Norfolk to Cedar you guys will see I really I really do a lot within this mantle I have it be a little bit more Grand on the corners and a little bit more less in the center so you guys will have to let me know what you guys think of my mantle this is probably my favorite look I've ever done I know it's different and I know it's not traditional but I kind of like it that way so you guys will have to let me know [Music] [Music] w [Music] moving on to stockings and stocking accessories starting with these cascading bells and then I just tied a really fun Sage ribbon to that that ribbon is from Hobby Lobby and I'm just adding those bells the ribbon and our names tags to each stocking now our stockings are a little bit on the warmer side so I thought bringing in that Sage ribbon would be a really fun color combination to just kind of break up all the warmth and I think it's really fun and really pretty and very different I also have a mixture of different textures here and then adding in a pattern which is the hounds tooth stocking that I purchased from AO and I just really love how this whole stocking and mantle look turned out [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] n [Music] moving on to my Christmas tree I had to remove all of our pre-existing Furniture this chair and side table and floor lamp is all going to be going to the opposing Corner we're going to be removing that big Olive Tree and placing in a different room for the time being but just have to get things prepped in order to bring in our Christmas tree [Music] [Music] [Music] moving over to my Christmas tree this is my second Boston Hill tree that I own I was a real tree person for about 30 years of my life and finally did the plunge 2 years ago and honestly balam Hill is such an incredible company this is not sponsored but they do make really great trees they are an investment but this is a tree these are trees that will last you a lifetime you will not have to replace them ever and I've been incredibly happy with their product for the last 2 years and so this is a tree that I got last year from them it's really Grand it's very big very realistic it's got a kind of larger bottom and then tear up uh obviously the fluff process is a process so this took me about 40 minutes to do each layer which I highly recommend doing each layer as you put it on fluffing I didn't realize that when I first got the faux tree I put the whole thing together and then would fluff and then it was just such a pain so definitely fluff as you go as a as a faux tree tip for you guys and so here we are just assembling everything everything clicks into place and it just looks so pretty once it is all lit [Music] starting with my Garland I picked this up last year this is the Paulina wood Garland I wanted to put this on my tree last year but I didn't end up doing it I used it more for a bowl filler so I figured this year let's put it on the actual tree itself and I just really think this is a great way to add that organic touch it's got that Christmas feel because it is gold but I really did love this on my tree this year now I am just bringing in a variety of different ornaments a lot of these I own from last year so I'm trying to be creative and utilize things that I already own while still incorporating some new ornaments like this fun galvanized one that I got on Amazon The Hobby Lobby ones that I had from last year and a few other ones that I purchased at homegood so again just trying to utilize things I already own trying to make things feel different but also having some new items to make it feel fresh as well [Music] w [Music] I really wanted to bring in texture to this tree so I ended up going to Hobby Lobby and I grabbed some of their fall stems these are a really beautiful mustard and then these are kind of a burnt orange exactly the colors that I was trying to exuded this year and so I picked these up they were on like 50% off clearance so it ended up working out really well and I just removed the tags removed some of the stems on the orange ones I ended up cutting down the mustard yellow ones and I just ended up putting these as a little pick inside the tree again for a little bit of texture a little bit of more of that color that Autumn feel and it turned out so [Music] good as I was looking at my tree it felt like it needed a little bit more of that burgundy red color it was reading a lot of the sage and orange and yellow so I ended up bringing these from previous years I had these already on hand they're really fun traditional paper ornament and then I also had a few more red colored ornaments that I wanted to incorporate and I think bringing in just a hair bit more of that red really did tie all of the color scheme together and I'm very happy with how it turned out [Music] shifting gears over to my coffee table and Decor we're going to bring in two different coffee table books this is Wild Horses of Cumberland and American Cowboys I'm then adding the balsom and Cedar candles this is by the company alum in the large size and small size with my Wick trimmers for Magnolia next element I'm adding is this beautiful mck and Co bookst with a coffee table book and then to kind of bring in that holiday feel I thought adding a ribbon draping almost as if it was a bookmark was a fun and kind of creative way and next to that I'm adding a vase that I purchased from Target about 4 years ago with two different stem the Norfolk and a thistle from HomeGoods two more coffee table books next to that with a gorgeous onx dish one of my favorite purchases that I've done thus far this year and then I'm just bringing in those preserved oranges which you guys would have recognized from my home decor Christmas Haul and the last Decor element is a vintage dough bowl that I got from an antique shop and then I'm just placing a variety of my vintage Bells within it usually I would do a Greenery or some sort of filler like a moss that I've done in the past but I thought just having the Bells by themselves just to be on showcase was a little bit different and something that I thought was different for me and a little bit more fun [Music] heading over to the little corner next to my fireplace mantle I'm bringing in a coffee table book in this fun bowl of dried thistle I did utilize these for my fall Decor but I definitely think they could be used for winter as well and then I just have this little iron deer that I have right next to it bringing in my checkered throw and some fun Tex stles to my sofa I one that really enjoys mixing patterns and color I know it is not for everybody I know for some people it might be over stimulating it might be too busy but I really enjoy just having fun on my couch I have fun mixing things and kind of getting creative with different pillow combinations and again although this does not read very Christmas I do love having things have a longer shelf life pillow covers that will last me longer things that I can use year round and so this is the final look for my living room space [Music] all right you guys and that is it for today's video I hope you enjoyed my Christmas
