The front door and portico, with the wreath Boy made and the roping hung by Rich and Junior
The side (now main) entry, all bedecked with roping and a wreath
The door, decorated with a wreath from U.S. Evergreen
More views of the side entry porch
The light post, covered with roping, plus a balsam wreath on the workhouse door
The door to the small barn, decorated with a magnolia wreath
Although Boy prefers only white lights, I insisted that we cover the lilacs behind the small barn with big, red, old-fashioned Christmas lights this year
The lights at night -- Boy thinks it makes our place look like the village brothel

Everything is perfect! I do like the big red lights! Not a brothel but rather Christmas -- an old fashioned Christmas! Love the real greens -- so much better than the fake with twinkle lights!
ReplyDeletehaha brothel -I always think red lights are charming and vintage. It's looking great!
ReplyDeleteLove the post and I hope you had a great holiday!

Jealous-making!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this house!
ReplyDeleteReggie, yes, I agree with an Aesthet's lament. Do they have a jealous button on this thing? I am curious if you can think of a better word than "blog"? The word does not flow from one's mouth with much delight, and your blog is a delight.
ReplyDeleteA Christmas-card home. Beautiful.
