In today’s Christmas decorate with me, I’m getting my new home feeling cozy and festive by doing a clean + decorate reset for the season. I’m the kind of person who has to clear the clutter first, because once the surfaces are wiped down and everything has a “home,” decorating feels fun instead of stressful. I’m sharing my real-life flow as a single mom—working in pockets of time, keeping it simple, and focusing on the spaces we actually live in the most. I’m styling with a neutral, warm Christmas vibe—think candles, a few statement pieces, and textures that make the house feel calm and inviting. I also share some of the items I’ve been loving for my space like my large irregular mirror, candle holders, a matte black jar candle, and my olive tree with a dark grey planter. And if you’re wanting to make the outside feel just as magical, I linked the Govee outdoor/permanent outdoor lights I mentioned so you can check those out too. This video is all about motivation, a realistic reset, and making your home feel like a cozy little holiday haven without overcomplicating it.
