Hey guys—today’s vlog is all about decorating my new construction living room for Christmas and turning it into that modern, cozy cottage vibe I love. I’m mostly using decor I’ve collected over the years, but I did sprinkle in a few new affordable finds to give everything a fresh, elevated look (without it feeling overdone). I started with my 9ft cashmere-style tree from Hobby Lobby and added a tree collar from HomeGoods that gives the whole setup a little “razzledazzle” while still keeping it neutral and cozy. Then I moved on to my mantel and shelves, styling them with realistic greenery and little Christmas trinkets to make the space feel more “Christmy.” I shared my Amazon garland that looks super similar to the viral Hobby Lobby one (honestly, it might even look a little more realistic), plus my stockings and brass hooks because you know I love adding a touch of “lux” with warm brass tones. I also took you outside to show the faux cedar trees I found on Amazon—two 4ft trees that look real from the sidewalk—and I finished with a few cozy details like red-striped pillow covers and my huge Sand + Fog Costco candle that’s stunning and smells so, so good.
