Haul Out the Holly
We spent the better part of the day hauling decorations down from the attic and up from the garage to deck the halls. We did take a break to go to a tree-trimming party, so I’m still vacuuming up needles and stray bits inside, but the outside is pretty well finished.
I think we may add a garland around the front door. Another option is to put a bunch (or swag, if you prefer) of evergreen under each porch lamp. We have a boxwood wreath on the red door, but, of course, it isn’t lit.
I’d love to hear your ideas.
Oh~my~dear,talented, friend. Your home is simply beyond Currier & Ives holiday perfection. Martha will be calling you soon for a photo shoot. It is so welcoming and warm and I know you have a hot toddy on the stove waiting for me! :) xoxo

It looks gorgeous already!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks beautiful! Your house is charming.
ReplyDeleteIf you feel you must add more greenery, I would add something tall to the urns on either side of the door.
The white branches look nice, and some evergreen, with perhaps a bit of red, would pop against your white wood house.
But really, I think you've done a wonderful job.
Your home looks gorgeous! So festive and warm and welcoming!
