2015 Christmas Entryway
Every year I decorate our entryway for Christmas, especially our entryway table. It’s like my mantel in a way because we don’t have a fireplace and mantel.
Now, our tree and dining area of our great room, which I’ll show you tomorrow, is mostly silver and white themed, but I decided to add a little color in our entryway.
Here’s what I used:
needle
thread
scissors
7 paper snowflakes
1 holiday banner
1 Command™ Clear Small Cord Clip
7 Command™ Party Ceiling Hooks
2 Command™ Party Banner Anchors
I made the ‘ho ho ho’ banner with some card stock and paper I had. I used my Silhouette machine to cut out all the shapes, letters, and snowflakes.
To hang the holiday banner, I adhered 2 Command™ Party Banner Anchors, one on each side of the entryway table. Then, I wrapped each end of the holiday banner around the party banner anchors a few times to secure it in place.
Note: the banner lasted 2 weeks before Owen noticed it. And then it was removed. Hey, at least I tried.
To hang the snowflakes to the ceiling, I started by adhering 7 Command™ Party Ceiling Hooks to the smooth ceiling surface above the entryway table in a dispersed, random order.
Then, I used a needle and thread to punch a hole at the top of each paper snowflake and thread the thread through and tie it off. Hang one paper snowflake from each party ceiling hook.
I think I’ll keep these snowflakes up all winter.
I usually always put a small tree in our entryway that I put all of our sentimental ornaments on. But with Owen being the curious one year old that he is, I decided it was best to put a small tree on the entryway table for our sentimental ornaments. And so far he hasn’t shown much interest in the tree.
I wrapped a piece of red and white polka dot fabric around the tree as a makeshift tree skirt.
I used 1 Command™ Clear Small Cord Clip on the backside of the entryway table and clipped the Christmas tree lights cord into the cord clip to keep it in place.
I love those things.
I added some garland to our entryway mirror, securing it to the mirror with zip ties. And I put some shatter-proof ornaments in the hurricane pedestal thing. I seriously have no idea what the technical term is for that thing.
If you put up a ‘pretty’ Christmas tree, do you also put up a tree for your family ornaments?
This post is brought to you by Command™ Brand. As always, opinions are 100% my own.
Our big tree has our family ornaments on it but I like the idea of splitting them up too. Some of our family ornaments aren’t on the tree this year out of fear our toddler would break them. A small tabletop tree is a good idea. #buyallthetrees I want to check after Christmas sales for stuff.
Yeah. it’s definitely a great solution for homes with grabby toddlers. 🙂
What a beautiful decoration. I will use some of these ideas. Than you for sharing them! Happy Holidays!
Thank you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Chelsea; beautiful! where is your white table from? I’ve been looking for something just like that?
Thanks, Karen! It’s from Amazon circa 2009 so, unfortunately, it’s no longer available. Sorry I’m no help!
