Christmas Decorate With Me ¦ Living Room Decorating Ideas ¦ Christmas at Grandma's House Ep. 2.

Hi there sweet friends! Welcome back to my channel and to episode two of Christmas at Grandma's house. okay so our cozy tree is up and now we're going to bring that same grandma's house feeling right here to our living room our little family room where we all gather and you guys know how much i love those christmases from past that soft glow garland tucked just so room for everyone to gather and squeeze in together so today i'm going to decorate some of my favorite spots here in our We're in our living room. Our mantel, our coffee table, and all those little areas just to bring it all together. So my friends, pour yourself a cup of hot cocoa and let's get decorating. So as you can see we already started the mantle. My husband had to help me because I wanted to make sure the garland didn't fall off. So we did put the garland on. I did put our seven precious grandbabies stockings and I will show you more in detail some of the things that I add to them. This has been on repeat for the last few years and of course tucking some bulbs here to make sure that they all stay so we don't lose our garland. But this is where we really have a lot of fun And it's adding these beautiful decorative elements to the top here just to have the mantle pop a little bit more. And I did share a few things that I picked up from Hobby Lobby and stuff I've had for many, many years. But also, we're going to add a little bit more to this garland just to give it a little bit more color and some texture with some picks. So what I did is I strategically tried to plan. we're always going to put some of these other pieces so i added things like I'm most afraid to take these out let's see gently gently like these kind of glass candle holders if you can see here i have them tucked behind here so when i place some of these other pieces it will give them a little bit of lift to come out from the garland and that way they won't topple over so let's hope i can get this back in just so that little thing went i I wonder. my piece here okay there it is okay so we're going to start off first with look how beautiful this is these i got from hobby lobby this year so if you watch my hobby lobby video you'll see where i talked about these now they're on a timer i already have them set so you got to stay tuned at the end of the video just see everything lit up at night and so anyway i already have it set and so i have a where am i putting this oh right here and i have a red one Right here and we're going to tuck her. You guys call your ornaments him her. I don't know why I do that. But anyway, we're going to tuck this piece right here and I got to find out where is that little piece. There it is. So I got those two anchoring each side of my mantle. Now these little light up bulbs I've had for so many years and i still love them here on the mantle so i'm thinking i'm going to put this let me see the gold one over here now this is where it gets a little tricky because you really want to place them on the garland and without them toppling over so let's just see how this works just stay there and then i got a red one here and a lot of times what i'll do is i'll take some pieces here of the garland and sort of lift them up so it holds on to this so it stays nicely I think sometimes you have to adjust. It doesn't have to be perfect either. That's the thing about it. Just have fun with it. Now I've got this beautiful velvet tree here, and I thought this would look really pretty here off to the side. So I do have one of those candle holders. It's glass, so you can't really see it. Maybe just a little bit here. And there's the tree. Now on this side, oh my gosh, this is so beautiful. I love this gold deer that holds candlesticks. So what I did do is I have like a plant stand over here that we put to put this up a little bit higher to give it some height. So we're gonna put him right here. And then I have these beautiful Flameless candlesticks from QVC, and if I can find anything that I'm talking about today, friends, I will link it for you in the description section. But these also are set to go off on a timer. So I have got everything since it's already daylight savings time. We fell back the time. They all come on, I'm thinking about 4.30. So there we go. It's really fun Because magically, as you're sitting here around 4.30, all the things that... I have on a timer to turn on and it just makes it so warm, so festive and cozy in here. Let's go ahead and get these here into my dear candle holder. I have to look back here from the distance to see if they are not falling over and we'll fix that up here in just a minute. But then what we're gonna do next is we're gonna add some picks. And I have here, let me show you a few examples. I've got some frosted cranberries and this beautiful pick here and right here. So we're going to go ahead and tuck, I got a bunch of these, into the garland just to give it some more depth and dimension and add a little more color and texture. So as I mentioned earlier, these are all our grandbabies Christmas stockings and I just have these cute little sparkly deer I got from Hobby Lobby and these bows from Amazon and I do change these bows out. Some years I'll have a red one. I decided to keep the same as last year, these green Which are so pretty. Just need to fluff them up a little bit. And, uh... This looks so pretty and just give a little more glitz and a little more color here to these stockings. Okay friends so let me steal you away for just a minute to my little home office because you guys know how much I love a warm glow in every corner especially at Christmas time. So let's head on in there. Okay, friends, so check this out. This is the R&W Flame C3, and I want to show you before picture, hopefully I have one, the piece of furniture we used to have here. It was an antique piece of furniture, and I knew I really wanted a fireplace here in our home office, and when they reached out, I was beyond ecstatic about this, and so I want to tell you some details about it first of all. It's ultra slim, which I love. you can either put it inside the wall or you can have it like we have here it is recessed and we just happen to have our old fireplace mantle uh and my husband saved it and how perfect was this look at how pretty it is that we put it on top I just think this came out so beautifully. I am going to insert some footage so you can see. Let me tell you about this a little bit too. It is super quiet. It's only like 35 decibels. And what I like about it, it has a sleep mode. And it has an overheat protection. It's energy efficient. LED flames. It's absolutely safe. It's very, very cozy. There are 12 flame colors. So let me show you here. Look at all these colors. I mean this is just so beautiful just depending on your mood for the day. This one I happen to like because it is yes the Christmas colors. Now you can just keep it just like this to have the the mood, the effect, but then also on this lovely remote here you can turn on the heat which I'm going to do here. If you can gently hear the fan, the fan is super, super, it's low, and I can tell you the heat that comes out of here, my friends, oh my goodness, it keeps this room so, so warm and cozy. You better believe this is where you're going to be finding me probably any time throughout the winter season, especially during the day when I'm doing my work and being all cozy here in my home office with Archie. Let me tell you some more features here. It has a 750 watt energy saving and a 1500 watt high heat for up to 400 square feet. So from 62 to 82 degrees with a timer from one to eight hours. I'm gonna go ahead and turn the heat off right now because, well, it's a little warm in here. Okay, so another thing is it comes with the remote and also touchscreen, which is fantastic. It's so easy. And I won't have all this information listed for all of you in the description box. But I have to tell you, this has completely elevated this room so absolutely beautiful. It is just to me like a centerpiece here when you walk into the home and you look off to the right into my own my home office here. I've always wanted a fireplace. And again, I like how convenient it is. You can either tuck it into the wall or have it recessed, however way works best for you. We just put an extra piece of wood down here because, you know, my husband said, Karen, any time I put any kind of a shelf, I know you're going to find a way to want to decorate it. And he was absolutely right. It is just stunning, absolutely stunning. And if you guys really want to add that cozy factor to any room in your house, definitely look into this I know they've got different sizes this one again fits perfectly here in our home office and so stay tuned for more of my Christmas decorating videos because I will show you the rest of my home office here but I wanted to share this one with you because we are creating that cozy come home to Christmas come home to grandma's house and to me just a cozy fireplace here in my home office Well, it's just, to me, the most exciting added piece, I should say, for the holiday season and from here on out. And friends, if this is something you wanted to add to your home, this is the time to do it. Especially, I know, where we live, the winter season, the holidays, creating that lovely, cozy atmosphere. I'm going to have everything listed in my description box for you. The price point is fantastic. You guys are going to love that. And, hey, if you get one, let me know where you're going to put it. And if you love it as much as we do here in our house, I have to tell you, it has just added so much to this room. And now I wish I had one in our bedroom. Anyway, I absolutely love it. I'm going to thank them so much for gifting me this beautiful, beautiful electric fireplace. I had so much fun putting this together. And I have a gold bowl here underneath. and i just stuck some picks of greenery some with some berries so i've got a mixture of different picks here i also added these picks inside i love the gold with the sparkly gold so i stuck one here and one on this side and then simply filled the bowl up with beautiful bulbs i did put a candle underneath this flameless candle upside down to create a little bit of height So that this wasn't down tucked inside, that it stood out just a little bit. So let me see here, looks like it's a little crooked. I'm thinking that is straight. Also this flameless candle is on a timer as well. So when the other pieces on my mantle and hopefully what I'm gonna do for my coffee table, they'll all come on about the same time. and i do love how beautifully this turned out it took me literally just a few minutes to put it together okay so now on the other side of my credenza here i've got a bigger deer i love about deer and a larger christmas tree that actually matches the one on the other side but because this is larger deer and then i have this one that i thought i would just add here too So I'm going to stand back and see. I like how this all came together. I was looking at my bins and I actually had these little mini me's to the bigger ones that I have on my mantle and I thought maybe they will look really pretty right next to the centerpiece here on our console. So let's see what it looks like on the red one. Let's see there. Let's see how the gold one looks. All right I'm going to stand back and see what I think. Okay friends so I was playing around with this. And it came out so beautifully, I didn't want to change it. So I got a beautiful tray here and these light up bulbs. And again, I want to put them set on a timer and then I just put a bag, I have a bag of extra bulbs and I just place them all in here and it looks really, really pretty. So now we have to just add a little bit more here around the coffee table. I do love to add coffee table books. So these ones kind of match the color, white and gold. So candlesticks is on and I think I'm going to add Some extras here, so these two little deer and my wick cutter and my sniffer. Snuffer, what is it called? A snuffer? A snuffer. So I just got done putting some throws on the couch. I've got these beautiful red pillow covers that I just added those to our extra pillows. so now i want to add a couple decorative pieces to this piece here behind our sofa and of course our precious gifts are our seven grand babies i do want to add a few additional decorative pieces and i have a sparkly reindeer that i haven't put anywhere which i love this reindeer i put him somewhere every year he has to have a home and i also have this deer that has a little bowl and the one thing i keep a lot of is extra bulbs all kinds of sizes and i love to just throw those in different things as you noticed on my coffee table and then in that bowl by underneath our tv i just love bulbs it adds so much color and festiveness to anything that you're decorating so i just put some in this little bowl i thought we could tuck that on here too I don't know, whatever else we could find. So let's see how this all turns out. But I, again, want to add some of that gold and those red colors here to this table, along with our precious grandbabies. This beautiful deer always has to have a home somewhere. So I sort of move these around and I'm going to tuck it right here, somewhere right there. Okay, and let me see. I've got three pieces I want to put on here somewhere. Let's see how they all fit. This is the deer bowl that I added. Some little bulbs too. I gotta move this out of the way. I don't want anyone to knock it over. And here's another one of those light-up bulbs, and I think this one also can be put on a timer. I love how the gold and red tie right on in to the rest of our living room. Nothing compares to such a blissful home.
