A twist on the traditional stairway garland — hang it at the bottom!Â
Have you pulled out any holiday decor yet? I always like to get a few things done before Thanksgiving, but this year I've been on a roll.
Our family (especially my husband) LOVES Christmas decor, and would happily have it up for months out of the year. 😆Â
After Halloween he starts asking when we'll pull out the tree, and when I'm ready to take it all down at the end of the year, he's asking to keep it up for a few more weeks.Â
I've started pulling out the Christmas decor for a few areas and working on spots that take the most time, like our stair railings. This is the earliest I've ever started, but it's been fun to have the time to play around with different ideas for our holiday decor.Â
I'm really excited about possibly being done earlier than ever this year so I can relax and ENJOY the twinkle lights.Â
Our open stairs are one my very favorite parts of our home! I choose classic white balusters and a stained railing that matches our wood floors. Over the years I've added greenery draped various ways at Christmas.Â
The first year I attached thick garland under the railing:Â
I've also swagged the greenery and wrapped it around:Â

All are beautiful! You just can't go wrong with any combination of garland and lights.
I've recently been looking into the "real touch" greenery that has been all over social media the past couple of years. A site called Afloral sells it, but I just couldn't bring myself to spend that much on garland, even though I love their quality.Â
I was THRILLED when I found the exact same Norfolk greenery at Kirklands, and on sale! I also got a discount code when I signed up for their emails, so I got this gorgeous greenery for less than half of what Afloral charges.Â
I had to purchase online and pick mine up at a local store — look for that option if they are sold out for shipping!
This stuff really is as nice as it's hyped up to be. It feels so soft, but you can manipulate the wired branches easily:Â
