Hi YT fam!!!! In today’s video I share the first episode of my Christmas decorate with me series! Today we highlight my entryway space. I hope you enjoy.
Hannah introduces a holiday decorating series for 2026 centered on a \"no-spend\" challenge. She demonstrates how to refresh a home's aesthetic by creatively repurposing existing decorations. This first episode focuses on transforming her front entryway, moving from an asymmetrical design used in 2025 to a symmetrical, high-volume look for 2026.
Hi guys and welcome back to my channel.
If you are new, welcome. My name is Hannah and in today's
video we are starting a series on holiday decorating for 2026.
So if this is something
you are interested in watching.
Just keep on watching.
All right, if you are just clicking on this video,
first off, welcome.
In today's video, I am starting a holiday series.
Now, if you would have caught a video,
a couple of videos back,
I decided that this year I'm doing a no spend
on holiday decor.
So I wanted to bring you guys a series
that highlights different parts of my home,
how I'm utilizing things that I currently already have
as far as my holiday decor goes,
and how we can make it feel and look different
from previous years.
So I'm gonna do like a side-by-side of like,
2025 and this is what i'm doing for 2026 utilizing again things
that i already own this is going to
be something that is going to push me outside
of my comfort zone this is going to push me to get
creative on how to make something look different
and so this video is going to be geared solely
around my front entryway space
so again i'm going to show you guys what i did last year and then
we're going to walk through the designing process
of how to make it feel and look beautiful for 2026
So hopefully you guys will stay tuned
for the rest of this series, I'm going to be
Trying to get this to you guys out as quickly as possible
because I know you guys love inspiration
for decorating your own spaces.
If you're interested in anything in today's video,
I will do my best to link them down
below.
These are obviously items that have been purchased over
the years, so some things will be sold
out.
I will do my best to source other places.
But let's get into it. Happy holidays, you guys.
Let's decorate our home for Christmas.
All right, so here are all of my picks from last year.
I bagged them by style so it keeps
it super organized when it comes to pulling
this out for previous years and current years.
So I'm going to start kind of getting
organized on how I want this to look.
All right, for those of you who are new to my channel,
this is my front entryway space.
This is a floor-length mirror from McGee & Co.
In front of that is the English beam from Restoration Hardware.
And then I do have some baskets there currently.
I'm not quite sure if I want to keep them there,
but this is what we are working with.
Last year, I did kind
of an asymmetrical look where I started on the far left,
and then I had it swag down onto the ground.
Whereas I feel like for this year, if we're wanting to make it
I might do something symmetrical where we're starting at the middle
and then bringing the
garland on both sides evenly.
So I have all of my picks out ready to go,
so it's just a matter of getting these secured.
When it comes to securing things, I use these.
This is from Amazon.
They are incredibly heavy duty hooks,
they're meant to hold so definitely use with caution,
but I will only use these on like mirrors, glass, or tile.
I don't use these on any drywall,
they will rip the drywall and paint right off your walls.
I will link those down below,
but these have been amazing.
I also use the command hooks that have the rubber band,
which I will also have linked for you guys, but let's get to it.
All right, so we're going to be utilizing this garland.
This is just a cheapo garland, but I use these,
I'm going to use these for fullness.
So obviously this doesn't look really realistic,
but I need the volume when it comes to my
mirror.
I want to do something really, really dramatic here.
So I'm going to take this and then I'm going
to weave in my more natural garland with it.
So you won't necessarily see this as much.
because we're going to camouflage it with some
of the other more realistic garland but using this
as my base for volume giving it nice and fluffed up
and then we'll go from there all right like
i mentioned we are starting
with the cheap garland first i'm just getting the shape first utilizing
this cheap garland this is definitely a trust the process video
so definitely stay with me as we get
You get through this.
This is a great way to help you form your garland.
Again, that cheap garland is going
to be covered up between the realistic real touch garland
as well as all the picks I'm going to be adding into this display.
Now, one thing I do want to state,
the cheapo garland, it has wire within each of those
pine needles, so it was actually really...
great to help kind of hold on to some of my picks
because you could wrap it around
so that way it was super secure.
Now I wanted this to be really full so I'm actually just
adding in some of Hobby Lobby's Norfolk stems there.
I know you can see some of the branches
there but I then go ahead and fix it.
So again kind of layering different greens so you have
the Norfolk, you have the cedar that has the pine
and then these are just juniper picks that I use
year round. I love these. These are a great way
to add a little bit of color and I love the texture
So I'm just adding those sporadically throughout
the garland all the way across to the mirror.
Next, I'm adding in some of my everyday stems.
I sourced these in Arizona
and I wanted it to have a really organic feel and I'm just
bringing that volume towards the end of my mirror.
So on the corners of that exterior,
I had then trickled in two, I believe, two stems
of those on either side for the volume
and so that way you could see some of that seeded
stem there.
And then I'm adding in some of these burnt orange thistle stems.
I sourced these from Hobby Lobby I believe two years ago.
These are part of their fall section
so if you are going for the same similar color palette
definitely check them out before they are cleared out.
I know they have all of their Thanksgiving stuff
on clearance right now so this is a
great time to pick it up.
That red sambucus fuga is also from Hobby Lobby
as well as the stem that I'm adding in now.
These are all, again, a part of their fall department.
So I picked these up a few years ago and I'm just adding these in.
This is kind of like a mustard color.
It kind of reminds me of like a wild grass.
I got this last year from a local boutique.
I bought them in stems and then picked all
of them off to give myself picks,
which I would also suggest if you find a stem that you really like,
you can always kind of separate the little stems
Have your built-in picks if you are doing something like this.
So from here, we are just adding in as much color as we can.
The more you can add to a look like this, the better.
It's going to give it more visual
interest. It's going to give it depth.
And obviously that texture is super important.
Ryder was with me at the time of filming.
She really wanted to partake in this. So we definitely
had her help. The last element to this garland,
I'm bringing in these fake oranges that have
dried oranges and cloves attached to them.
And I'm just stuffing them within my garland. I think
this is such a fun way to add a little bit of pop of color
and then adding in that citrus holiday feel
Next, I'm adding in this print from Hobby Lobby,
a stack of neutral coffee table books,
and then I have two vintage cowbells
that I'm just placing one on top and then one kind
of leaning on its side.
To the far right, I'm adding in my Our House candle holders.
I love the brass during the holiday time.
I think it just really screams the holiday spirit.
And then on the left-hand side, I have one of my vintage confit pots
with a low-profile arrangement with just Norfolk
and a little bit of juniper.
And to the right of that, I'm bringing
in a low-profile dish from Amber Interiors
and some really cute Christmas matches.
On the bottom of my console, I'm just adding my baskets in.
Lastly, I'm adding in these bows that I got from Amazon last year.
These are great because they have clips on the back,
so you can honestly put them on anything and put them everywhere.
So I'm just adding those to my bells for a little bit of color,
but you guys will have to let me
know. This is 2025's look
and then you guys will have to let me know how that compares to 2026.
But hopefully my first part of my series
is a great way for you to get inspired on utilizing
things you already have, how we can get creative
and making our spaces feel different without
feeling like you have to buy a bunch of holiday decor.
But hopefully you guys enjoyed and happy
holidays.
And that is it for today's video.
Hopefully you enjoyed part one of my series
of decorating for the holidays,
utilizing all things that I already own.
I'm so happy with how this space turned out
and really excited the fact that I pushed myself
to create something different for the holiday season.
Stay tuned for the next video on this series.
Until then, I love you guys so much.
Thank you for being here.
I'll see you guys soon.
Peace.
