- 1:05–3:17 Decorate Staircase with Garlands and Ribbon
From How to Prep Stairs for Holiday Guests, Step 7: Add Festive Touches (Optional)
Prepare the staircase banister for holiday decoration. Secure a full, natural-looking green garland to the banister, ensuring it drapes aesthetically. After the initial garland is in place, layer a lighter, more delicate green garland over it to add depth and texture. Finish by tying a red velvet ribbon around the banister and garlands at the starting newel post, creating a festive bow. Continue to adjust the garlands to create a full and balanced look.

0:26 [Music] hey everyone it's Emily here I hope you're all having a beautiful day so far I hope you all had amazing Thanksgiving with your family and your friends today I am still getting settled into the house and just rearranging still decorating cleaning you're probably wondering why the floors are covered with this stuff and that is because we've been having deliveries of stuff coming in and out and it was just easier to protect the floors but I will have to tell you that this vacuum is a game changer I've had this vacuum for years and is my favorite cord vacuum ever and it's actually on deal right now during Walmart's Black Friday deals that is going on November 25th through December 1st so whether you are needing regular
1:11 household necessities or you're looking to still get your Christmas shopping done check out Walmart I want to thank them for sponsoring today's video I love being able to partner with them because I shop their weekly and I find so many items there we will be sharing more deals throughout today's video but I wanted to decorate my manister here I'm love the way the Oak and the rails turned out it's so pretty I'm just layering in um some Garland and then I'm going to layer in a lighter Garland as well just to add a little bit of tone I want to add actually some more ribbon and stuff I'm trying not to go too over the top since it is used but I think it's so pretty [Music]
3:12 if you have a stairwell do you guys decorate the rails for Christmas I think it's so pretty you could even hang stockings on them honestly that's actually a really good idea I should do that but I'm going to add in a new rug here to the living room so I'm trying to get that all vacuumed this is my Dyson stick vacuum I've had this again for years and it is a favorite it's a game Cher it has great suction on it for a stick vacuum it lasts pretty good and it's also UND deal today as well so definitely be sure to check the description box below I have everything linked in the comments as well I got a few deliveries and I've got even more coming because I'm trying to shop all the sales I can that way I can get all the deals and make my money go a little B further [Music]
4:02 another item is this Olive Tree I know it's not quite Christmas related but it's a great deal was I saved $40 on it and it was like $45 it was crazy deal for a 7ft tree and it's just two pieces the stock on it the trunk is so realistic looking compared to the other ones I have they did such a good job on this I think it comes in 4T all the way to 8T definitely the time to buy this and I'm actually going to add it in to my bathroom area I think it would look really nice in there um but I just like this because it's really versatile it's one of those pieces that you can use anywhere in your [Music]
4:57 home I have this really cute Al Cove in my bathtub area and I got to figure fig how to feel that if I want to add a shelf to or not but I thought this would look really nice next to the floating tub so I'll share more in the bathroom with you as I get it to come together but everything is still work in progress um but yeah I thought that would be kind of nice and add some height and Greenery which is always nice and then to this little game area that we have here I decorated it but I'm going to grab this TV that is on deal right now for Black Friday at Walmart as well because it's a good savings and then they have a ton of toys and stuff so you can get all your Christmas shopping done this week also I'd love to know are you done Christmas shopping I still have a little bit more to do but some people are already done which is like good for you
6:28 I've got some more rearranging to do in the living room but I wanted to show you some of the tile option I'm looking at for the fireplace instead of doing Rock maybe doing some tile so these are the different tones that I've seen so far they come in larger scale um these ones are all rigid which is really neat looking on the wall and then I have a marble piece um this one is my favorite and I really like the way it looks but again I'm just I'm unsure of what to do so let me know your thoughts on that anyways I'm trying to put the living room back together I want to get some moodier looking um chairs for this space I think one white sofa is enough the rest needs to be different So Soft it's a faux for blanket from Walmart and it's amazing I'm adding in some pops of
7:13 maroon if you saw my last video on the dining room you know I added the maroon in and I really want to add that into the living room so I want to get a couple new pieces for this space but I'm just working with what I've got for right now I'm honestly just exhausted from this moving and I know I'm not alone and being exhausted and trying to juggle everything but just try to take it easy I was ready to take a nap as I was doing this but I was like no press on we can get this finished and done but the living room I have a long way to go with it this is kind of coming together the way I wanted it to but at the same time I want to rearrange the tree try it in a different spot it's just not looking the way I want it to if that makes sense I'm still trying to get a feel for the new layout even though it looks similar to our last house it's not
8:00 the scale is a bit different and so um it's a little bit larger actually which is nice but it's just I don't have the right colors and the fireplace not being here it just makes it look a little bit different it's just not coming together the way I wanted it to you know that happens it's okay but I did order um on Walmart some cabinets for the side so I'm excited to see how those will fit into the space um I'm debating whether I want to do the short cabinets like I will show you here or I want to do taller ones um kind of like more like built-ins so yeah you have to let me know your thoughts on that I really like the way it looks um either way but we'll kind of see I put some felt pads on the bottom of the tree so I could easily move it and that is such a game changer definitely recommend doing that if you can't figure out where you want to put
8:46 your tree like me I hope you all have enjoyed today's video I know it's a little bit more relaxing not too intense but hopefully you enjoyed it I hope you all have an amazing day definitely to be sure to check out Walmart's Black Friday deals going on right now through the 1 and I hope you have an amazing rest of your day and I'll see you in the next one [Music]
