Christmas Decorating Outdoors

I don't usually write a post two days after another but...
it's that Christmas thing
and it is that "new door" thing.

And, although
I am saying
that I have finished the entry door decorations,
one never knows.
I have a tendency to adjust over and over again.


I cannot explain in words
how excited I am to have what feels like a real "front door"....
even though it is on the side of our house,
it is our entry door.

Decorating the entry to our home for Christmas is just such a joy this year....
Yah, I think you probably get that
but for once I feel like these urns really have a place.


I started with the branches as you see below.
I like to add a lot of dogwood followed by sumac branches which provide another hit of red.


And of course, more is usually more in this type of decorating.


Now, hmmmm.....do I or don't I add fairy lights??
Still debating on that one.
I will have to save that decision for later in the week.

  2. I do love those new doors Donna. And your urns look gorgeous. I think I'd add the fairy lights to them to brighten up the front door for the winter. They'd look very pretty with snow on them. :)

  9. Just caught up with your blog! You have snow -- gorgeous. Your new front doors are wonderful. We got new double front doors last year, and it changed my life! (Cue the angels singing...)

  10. I love fairy lights and those urns look so right with the double door. BUt really, the best thing is the snow... it makes it look so Christmas-y... I ordered some to the sky, but all I get is rain... So hard to get exactly what I order ;)

  11. I love the urns as they are but fairy lights always come into their own at night and are so welcoming to visitors, so I'd go for them !
    If Magali gets snow, I'll be getting some too as she's just over the mini pond. At the moment we're sharing the rain !

  13. The lights and urns look great! Love your reading nook area, so cozy. I think I may have the same table, though your's is certainly looking better than the layers of dust and dirt on mine : ). Patty
