Hello friends, welcome back to my channel. I'm Lorena if you're new here, today we're decorating for Christmas. This is part 1 of my Christmas decorate with me so there will be plenty of Christmas decorating videos to come so make sure you're subscribed if you're not already. I'm super excited just to start making all of our spaces feel super cozy and festive for the holiday season. Today we're decorating our downstairs living area so living room, dining space and kitchen and just ready to transform it for Christmas so hopefully you get some new Christmas decorating ideas and enjoy. So here is a little bump update, she is growling, growling. We may or may not have a little Christmas baby, we'll see, she'll be here sometime at the end of next month so I will keep you guys updated so let's get to decorating. And here is our living room once I took down all of the fall and Halloween decor. It's looking so bare and empty so I was excited to make it cozy in here again and we did have to rearrange some of the furniture on this side to make room for the tree. So this is the 9 foot pre-lit Christmas tree from Costco and it's from a few years ago so the one they have now the lights are a little different but it's still a beautiful tree and I love it so much and I did get Mr. Batman a little Christmas toy so he can be distracted while I do some decorating especially when I decorate the couch I had to move him off of that. But I set out all of my decorations on my dining table just to see what I had to decorate the living room and the kitchen and I'm using lots of greenery and bells, some golds and adding in those pops of red and green and I really really love how everything looks all together. I'm starting with the couch and just giving it a quick vacuum before I add in some pillows. I actually didn't get any new pillows for this couch downstairs I did get some new ones for our living room couch upstairs but I'm just going to use the ones that I already have and sticking with mostly neutrals. This first pillow cover is from Crate and Barrel and this one is from Pottery Barn. I've had them for a couple years and they're just such great quality, super soft and I just used some pillow inserts from Amazon and I really like that they're just a cream color so it's a good like base pillow so I can add in some accent pillows and the rest of them that I have are just from Target either last year or a few years ago. Moving on to the side table and accent chair which complete the little sitting area here in the living room. I'm going to add some decor trees and a bowl with ornaments but first I wanted to show you their color in better lighting they're so pretty and they're going to go well and complement the ornaments and the ribbon that I usually use here on this Christmas tree. This one is from Walmart and I love that dark green color and the velvet ribbon look and then the dark red one is from Target and then I really love these ornaments they're some of my favorites that I've ever gotten. They're from Crate and Barrel and they just look so gorgeous in a bowl as decor and of course on a tree I think they would look so pretty. I also have the red and green version of these which I put on my tree and I absolutely love them. And just adding this cozy throw which I think goes really well with the color of the ornaments and it just completes the look. Now I'm going to add some decor to this coffee table just going to wipe it down first I'm going to do some greenery here and bells and a candle just going to make it festive and cozy but still keep it pretty simple. First I'm going to use this pot for the greenery but it was a pretty big opening and when I put some of the stems they kind of just flopped over so I am putting a smaller vase in there and then just some plastic bags to help keep the stems like nice and up and for it to look more full. These stems are from Hobby Lobby last year and they look so beautiful I think they look very realistic so I'm just putting a few in here and then fluffing them up. Just using this book as a stand for the bells that I'm going to be setting on here I got these bells last year and I love them they are beautiful and I like that they're three different sizes and a little bit of a different shape and then I'm going to add this ribbon from Amazon it has such a pretty brownish gold color to it and I'm just tying it on the loops it just gives such a pretty festive touch I think anytime you add some velvet ribbon to your decor it makes it extra pretty and perfect for Christmas I did it with so much of my decor last year so I definitely had to do it again. Just finishing off the table with this candle it's from Target last year and it's pretty much almost finished so I'll probably have to pick up a new candle but I love how all of this looks together. And now I'm going to add decor to this beautiful cabinet which we just got this year so I've only been able to decorate it for the fall season and I was so excited to be able to add Christmas decor to it it's from Magee & Co and it was definitely an investment but I'm so glad we got it I think it really transformed this room and it's even more beautiful with holiday decor so I'm going to start off with the top shelf which the shelves are pretty tall so I wanted to use some taller decor especially here on the top I found these super cute light up birch trees at Aldi they came in a set of two and they look so cozy lit up and have a timer so they're perfect for any space and then in the middle I'm just adding these two decor books to give height to some brass bells I just added some green and red velvet ribbon made some little bows and I think they look so pretty. Finishing off this other side with these black reindeer that I got from Target I like that they're pretty big so they definitely fill up this space well. For this next shelf I'm going to do a little Christmas village with these ceramic houses I got them from Target they're from the wonder shop and they also have timers with a little light so they look so cute and cozy especially at night I got four of them and they're all slightly different but perfect all together and then I also got some little wooden trees which are actually from the craft section at Target and I think the natural wood color is so pretty paired with the houses and also match well with the wood accent on the shelves. And these beautiful glass trees are from the Target dollar spot and they do have an opening at the bottom so you can put some tea lights and they look so pretty and just complete the look of this village. Just finishing off the cabinet with this shelf I'm starting with this snowy trees framed art that is just a digital print from Etsy and tying in a black accent to match the reindeer with this black wooden tree and then in the middle I'm using a wood piece to anchor three different glass vases which I just put a few different vase filler pieces in them like pine cones red berries and bells it's just vase filler that I've had from several years and I just mix it up all together and then finishing up with a brass letters to Santa mailbox from Michaels and then that other birch tree for more cozy lights on this shelf and the cabinet is finished and I love how it all came together. And we added some garland to the top of the cabinet this one is from the studio Mickey line at Target and then I got two of these which I got last year from Bed Bath and Beyond actually online and I just draped one on each side and then the Target one on top. I really love just that extra festive look that it gives and now I'm just going to wipe down the dining table so I can add some decor. I'm using this brass tray to set all of the decor on and starting with a tall vase and tying some red velvet ribbon just making a pretty bow which really does add such a nice festive Christmas touch and all the ribbon that I'm using is from Amazon and I will of course link it and link everything that's available from today's video down below for you guys. These stems are from Hobby Lobby last year I really love those cedar branches and they also have these little blueberries on them which look so pretty and they also just fill this space very well. And just setting these rustic trees which I got from Target last year but I know that they also had them this year and I'm going to fill the rest of the tray with some pine cones and bells. And I didn't put any ornaments up on the tree yet but I will decorate it for my next video and I still have to decorate our built in shelves and I have another Christmas tree upstairs so there will be lots more Christmas decorating videos soon. And now I'm ready to add some decor to the kitchen I'm starting off with this snow drop scented Mrs. Meyers cleaning spray it smells so good and it's my favorite to use for the Christmas and winter season I'm just going to wipe down the island and start decorating. I set out everything I'll be using here in the kitchen and I'm doing some reds and greens some pine cones and greenery trying to keep it simple but festive as well. Trying to keep this little corner somewhat functional I'm going to set everything on this plate and I'm starting with a flocked tree I just tied a velvet bow for a touch of red and then adding my oil dispensers and then a little tree holder that I got from the Target dollar spot I plan to put some napkins in it but I do want to pick up some Christmas ones and then I'm going to finish off with a spoon rest from Home Goods. These tea towels are from Pottery Barn and I feel like the colors really tie in well with all of the decor here in the kitchen. Adding in some wooden cutting boards and I wanted to give one of them an extra festive touch so just adding some ribbon and a pine cone and berries and it also adds a nice touch of red to match well with the rest of the decor here. Just wiping down this area so I can add in some festive mugs and make a little coffee slash hot cocoa station. This is the only new mug that I got this year from Michaels. It's super cute. The rest I've had from previous years and still really love them. I'm going to use this wooden tray to anchor the rest of the pieces here. I have this cookies for Santa jar but I'm actually flipping it so you can't see the words and I just tied a green velvet bow on top and it has all of the Keurig cups in there and then this little tree is from Walmart and then this cute sleigh is from the Target Dollar Spot and I'm just adding some little peppermint stirring sticks for hot cocoa and then I have a hot cocoa sign that I got from Target a few years ago and I still think it looks so cute here in the kitchen. Moving on to the island. I'm using these stems from the Hearth and Hands line from Target. I love the little red berries and the pine cones. I'm just using this ceramic pitcher from Hobby Lobby and then I'm going to set a bowl with some pine cones and I have some dried oranges in there. I actually had those from my fall decor but I decided to use them for Christmas as well and then I'm going to finish off with a candle. I always love adding a wreath to our pantry door for every season or holiday and I love this one for Christmas. It's from Target and then on the doorknob I'm going to add this Christmas countdown sign that I've had for several years now. And the last thing I'm doing is adding these mini wreaths to the back of the bar stools. They're from Hobby Lobby and I just put some cute dainty ribbon on them. I think they look so pretty and just complete the decor here in the kitchen. I hope you guys enjoyed today's video and got some Christmas decorating ideas. I have lots more to share soon. Thank you so much for watching and I will see you on my next one.
