Valorie Hart attracted lots of ornaments outside to her entrance door in New Orleans. “I produced my noodle from cast-off ornaments by simply hot gluing them to a cheap fake green wreath,” she states. “I included two artificial trees and hot glued the exact same color ornaments, and elevated them in garden urns. I added lights into the wreath along with the trees”

“We do exactly the Williamsburg motif over our door using fresh pineapple, apples and magnolia leaves,” states grammy05. “We are living in the Charleston, South Carolina, area and it is warm, but somehow it does nice.

“Straightforward Texas turquoise, ” states hrhdiane2. “We had fun painting this big Texas color on front door, so we kept the Christmas embellishment sparse.” Obviously, “sparse” in Texas can include excellent peacock feathers.
“We will have building going on in a few days, so elaborate was not in this year,” states er Victoria. “I decorated the tiny evergreen with dried flowers and a few ivy. The wreath has small lights to glow during the night, and all of the windows have candle lights”
“It is our first Xmas in our new house, and I wanted to keep it simple, since the siding and brickwork are busy enough,” writes amackinney. “I will need to step it up a year ago, because individuals have posted so many merry ways of showing their talent and spirit for the holidays.”
Amanda Barnhardt paired a lovely blossom and pinecone wreath with her rich wood door.
