In today’s video, I’m walking you through exactly how I prep my home to transition from harvest to Christmas—because Christmas prep starts NOW. I pulled out all my bins (I have 15 total… I’m basically one tote away from opening my own North Pole) and I’m getting real about the post-Christmas burnout that leads to “throw it all in a bin and hope for the best.” This year, I’m organizing smarter: checking for broken pieces, testing all my Christmas lights, and donating anything that no longer resonates with my identity or brings me joy. I’m also sharing how I’m using Tote Scan to label and track what’s actually inside each bin with QR codes, because “Christmas” on a tote is just not specific enough for me. For organizing, I store like items with like items (ornaments with ornaments, garlands with garlands) so I can find everything fast on decorating day. Then we jump into easy Christmas DIYs: I refresh old ornaments with spray paint, add that soft vintage glow with antique gold Rub ’n Buff, and stain little houses before dressing them up with simple hot-glued embellishments (my favorite, because I can pop it off next year if I change themes). I finish with the cutest DIY Christmas swags inspired by Target—simple bow + bell, and done.
