A CREATIVE FRONT DOOR
can easily greet visitors
all winter, even after
traditional holiday wreaths
are long gone. Impress your
guests with personalized
decorations that ofer a
warm, seasonal welcome.
A cornucopia of pine
and ribbon is stunning and
hospitable, while a wreath of
pine and evergreen sprinkled
with "snow" provides an
elegant and traditional touch.
For a more modern look, a
wreath draped with succulents
provides green throughout the
winter. An easy variation for big
impact with little efort is the
flling of small wooden crates with
succulents or greenery.
As for those summer planters,
transform them into stately
topiaries using greenery from
the yard. They can serve as a
simple alternative to traditional
door decorations or be used in
combination for a grand entrance.
Customizing your front
stoop with whimsical
elements is a clever way
to make a statement. A
wooden pitchfork draped in
magnolia leaves and lucky
horseshoes is perfect for
the horse lover.
Elegant, whimsical or
nature inspired, your choice
can be as unique and diverse
as your family.
