In case you haven’t gotten enough inspiration for decorating for the holidays…here are some ideas, for the Porch. The entry to your home. While we have our tree up, as last week’s blog would indicate, I still feel compelled to do more, in terms of decorating my porch and entry. It’s never too late to do some tweaking! Some of these are extravagant while some are more simple. I like simple.
We have gone without all the outdoor lights, which, in the past, we would have over 60,000 lights strewn through our trees. It became an electrical nightmare when it would rain, and Kevin would spend hours each night, trying to get that back in working order. We have determined that I am certainly Not up to that task, hence no 60,000 outdoor lights. This year we have 12 wreaths on the outdoor lights and pillars and a large wreath above the front door. Large glass ornaments piled in the front planters with some holiday greens and I call it a festive holiday entryway!
Call me crazy, but totally loving these nutcrackers! I have a thing for holiday nutcrackers… and received my 3rd one this year. They don’t come life-size, otherwise I’d put them on my porch. #sizematters
