Normally, my Christmas decor stays up until January 31st.
No questions. No negotiations. Just vibes. 😂
But this year? I decided to switch things up.
Not because the decor was bothering me — absolutely not.
I just needed that minimalist, fresh start, new year energy back in my space.
So let’s get into this Christmas decor takedown + home reset journey.
Step 1: Storage 🧺
First things first — I needed more storage.
Because yes, the number of my Christmas trees is elevating again.
Are you surprised?
No?
Me neither.
So off to Kooyman I went to grab a big storage bin and prepare for battle.
Step 2: Outdoor Decor = The Real Enemy 🌴🎄
I decided to tackle the outdoors first.
One whole day passed…
And I only finished one patio.
ONE.
At that point I was like:
“How long is this going to take?!” 😭
Spoiler:
Took another day to finish the balcony.
Step 3: The Indoor Madness Begins 🏠
Let’s talk about day three.
Embarrassing? Yes.
But tell me why my smart self decided to:
- Take down decor
- Deep clean
- Do laundry
- And reorganize
All at the same time???
Do I even like myself??? 😭
To make things worse, I needed another bin.
But this girl wasn’t going to the store alone. So what did I do? Grabbed some trash bags and placed all of those ornaments in until I got the bin.
Temporary storage.
Because the show must go on, duh.
Step 4: Deep Cleaning… Again 😫
Once everything was finally down, it was time to clean:
✨ Sweeping
✨ Mopping
✨ Dusting
✨ Wiping
✨ Re-cleaning things I already cleaned for Christmas
At this point, I was running on fumes.
But I HAD to finish.
No turning back now.
Step 5: The Home Reset Glow-Up ✨
Finally, it was time to bring the regular decor back out. So I:
- Added new wall art
- Rearranged the furniture (my specialty 😌)
- Created a cozy, minimalist vibe
And just like that…
The home reset was complete.
Was It Worth It? 😂
This took almost 4 days.
Yes, I’m still tired.
Yes, I might sleep until Jesus comes.
Yes, I’ll probably see y’all in the afterlife.
But my home is reset, refreshed, and giving new year energy — and honestly?
Worth it. Go watch the vlog!
TTYLLLL 💤💀✨
