My entire childhood, I grew up sitting by the fireplace at Christmas. There’s just something so special and nostalgic about it. I’ll never forget those special memories with my family.

My husband and I have been married 17 years, but this is our first home with a fireplace. I’m so thankful for the memories we’ve made here the last several years around the fireplace during the Christmas season.

I’ve never had a large fireplace to decorate of my own, but with this one being 20 feet tall and the mantle sitting at 6 feet tall, it was really exciting to create. It may be hard to tell, but it’s really big!! I knew it could handle something large and grand, so not only did I make a huge 4 foot wide wreath, but I also made a huge real touch cascading garland. It was a dream I’ve had for years, so it was so exciting to put together and just sit and swoon over it. I used several different types of real touch garland and stems that I’ve been collecting over the last several years, and layered the different textures and shades of green to give it the look of a real freshly made garland.

I made my first dried wreath and I love how it turned out!

I looked online for inspiration, ordered everything I thought would look nice, received it all, opened it up and just went for it. This wreath took me much longer to make than the real touch wreath, but it was so much fun and I enjoyed the challenge of doing something new.

1. I used a 36” grapevine wreath.
2. Wrapped the wreath in dried moss.
3. Wrapped that in twinkle battery operated lights.
4. Added two types of dried preserved green asparagus fern.
5. Dried German Statice.
6. Winter Greenery Preserved Cedar Foliage.
7. Preserved Japanese Ming Fern.
8. Berries.
9. Dried Wild clematis seeds on twigs /Old man’s beard flowers.
10. Fern. by @decoratingdopamine

I love that the tree looks like it came out of the woods just after a snowfall. The ornaments sparkle and shine with the light hitting them just right. It feels soooo dreamy! ✨🕯️ by @decoratingdopamine

This wreath is massive!! It’s bigger than me and I love it!!

I’ve had this 20 foot tall fireplace for 4 years and have never had a wreath on it, so I decided it was time this year.

I wanted to make a real touch style wreath to match all the real touch garland in my home. I knew I didn’t want to use glue and wires, just wanted it to be simple to make, yet look stunning.

I chose a regular basic wreath as my wreath form, so I could use the fullness of the wreath itself as a full base to build my real touch masterpiece on. It works great as a base, and the perk is, you can use the wire stem pieces on the wreath to wrap and hold the real feel stems into place so absolutely no glue or anything else was needed or used!

Pro tip: to get that “I just paid a fortune for a real, fresh custom wreath” look, buy stems with different textures, colors of green, and types of greenery to give it that gorgeous real look!

I chose all the stems from various places like Amazon, Wayfair, Target, and Marshalls. I wanted specific real touch stems from a major company, but didn’t want to pay the price. I wound up finding a lookalike wreath at Marshall’s that was so nice. I was amazed at the quality, and it was exactly what I was looking for. I bought a few of the wreaths (I show one in the reel before I took it apart) and took them apart to use on the wreath and later on other greenery throughout our home.

I wish it showed up on camera exactly as it does in person,. It’s seriously stunning, and I’m so happy with it!

It was super easy to make and took less than 2 hours. by @decoratingdopamine

This year’s tree is my most favorite of all the trees I have ever created!! I have never decorated a tree this tall (12 feet) and grand! I was inspired this year by a tree that I saw in a 2022 photo in the NoMad hotel in London. I saw the candles in the tree and knew I had to add candles to my design this year. I added mocha tones in velvet, matte, and gloss with touches of champagne and gold. The finishing touch was adding mocha velvet bows. I have lovingly referred to her as my “Mocha Beauty” all season. She definitely gives me “All the Feels”. 🤎🤎🤎 by @decoratingdopamine

✨Merry Christmas!! So thankful for Jesus!✨

✨I love this nativity set given to me years ago by my grandmother. She turned 90 just a few days ago!

✨Vintage items and things with meaning and that are sentimental bring such joy in my decorating style. It adds that special touch and makes me feel warm inside. They give you that “decorating dopamine”.🤎🤎 by @decoratingdopamine
