Home Quotes: How I Organize my Christmas Décor

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a great weekend so far!

Since the Epiphany is over now, we took down all of our Christmas décor.

Do you remember this post when I showed you all of my Christmas décor?

My stuff took up a WHOLE room! That’s CRAZY!!! Isn’t it?

I think so!

Anyway, I knew when I was decorating that I had WAY TOO MUCH!!! So I decided that everything that I didn’t use that year, I would donate or save for our annual garage sale.

Since my theme was white and sparkly with some nature accents, I knew that I didn’t want to keep anything red.

I LOVE red but I can’t keep everything! Plus, I changed my house colors from reds and greens to blues and browns so red didn’t match anymore.

It’s a good thing I didn’t buy anything new last year, ha!

I was able to keep everything that I am keeping into 8 bins! I can’t believe it!!!!

We bought a real tree last year and LOVED it so we donated our fake tree to the Goodwill before Christmas…so now I don’t have to store that anymore!

I also decided not to keep anything that does NOT fit in a bin…it is just easier that way! :)

I picked out some really cute scrapbook paper and made some labels for my bins!

(I got my “red” fix in the labels, lol!)

I just love those little Santas! :)

Then I taped them to the bins.

Now they are organized, labeled and ready to go into the basement!

I am excited about all the space I am saving down there by NOT bringing everything back down there.

I can’t forget this picture. My daughter LOVES organizing with me and she had to get in a picture, haha. She makes organizing more fun! She even organizes the candy at the checkout lanes, lol!
