Hey you guys—today’s video is my Christmas prep with me for 2025, and I’m getting the house clean and ready because we’re decorating really soon (like, less than a week). I focused mainly on the living room and kitchen since those are the first spaces I’m going to decorate. That meant taking down all the fall decor, pulling off the fall pillow covers, clearing surfaces, and getting everything put away so I can start with a true clean slate. I also took down my olive tree because that corner is specifically for my Christmas tree (and honestly, it helps me hide that wall fan that’s an eyesore for me). And yes—I ordered my Home Depot Christmas tree, so it’s getting real. While I cleaned, I shared my decorating plans and Pinterest-inspired ideas, because I’m going for a classic, vintage Christmas vibe this year. I put up my battery-operated wall sconces next to my framed wall art, and I already have a vision: pleated shades, cedar stems, a long luscious satin brown ribbon, and maybe even pine cones to change up the look from last year. In the kitchen, I’m planning realistic cedar wreaths above the range hood (I’m a sucker for realistic cedar—give it all to me), plus a little bell with a brown or sage ribbon. I’m also planning vintage oval-style Christmas wall art above the sink, and in the dining room I’m swapping in Etsy prints and DIY-ing a draped ribbon swag over my wall frames. The house is clean, prepped, and ready—next up is putting up the trees.
