Master Holiday Décor Without the Stress

11/19/2024

The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes the desire to transform our homes into festive wonderlands. But let’s be real: holiday decorating can be overwhelming. Between juggling work, family, and a never-ending to-do list, it’s easy to feel more like Scrooge than Santa. The good news? Decorating doesn’t have to be stressful. In fact, with a bit of planning and creativity, it can become one of the most enjoyable parts of the season.

The Sentimental Side of the Season
Holiday decorations hold a special kind of magic when they tell a story. That’s why sentimental pieces—those handmade ornaments from your kids, your grandmother’s vintage garland, or the snow globe you picked up on a family trip—should always take center stage. These pieces bring warmth and authenticity to your holiday décor and can turn your home into a living scrapbook.
The trick is to incorporate these cherished items in a way that feels intentional. For example:

Ornaments: Dedicate a smaller tree or a prominent section of your main one to those beloved, mismatched ornaments that don’t quite fit a “theme.” They’ll shine as a meaningful focal point.
Vignettes: Create a holiday display on a shelf, mantel, or console table using sentimental items mixed with greenery, candles, or twinkling lights to tie everything together.
Creative Repurposing: Turn a cherished quilt or scarf into a cozy tree skirt, or use old Christmas cards as part of a garland or framed holiday art.

Sarah had a little fun with her upstairs bathroom. Serving as the kids' and guest bathroom toilet paper dispenser and a Pinterest image.
Here's a before picture of the space.

(Sarah and her kids happened upon this quirky toilet paper dispenser a while back at Hobby Lobby and it basically all went downhill
(or should we say uphill!) from there.

She knew that having fun with this bathroom was a must so her guests and kids would enjoy it. When she came across this image on Pinterest it was a no-brainer.
