Over the weekend, then entire family went to work spreading pine needles and making the yard look nice for Christmas. I put the finishing touches on the front door and wondered if you would like to see it.
The wreath hanger I used has a hook for hanging a wreath on the inside too so I made a boxwood wreath to hang here. I really like seeing this when I walk through the room.
The reward came at the end of the day when we all sat down to rest and enjoyed the first fire of the season. It is definitely beginning to feel like Christmas now.
The Christmas linky party is a week away. You are invited to share holiday projects, tours, and all things Christmas. I hope you can come!
What a clever idea to hang a wreath on both sides of the door. Love the color of your front door!
ReplyDeleteYour home has the warm and cozy touches of Christmas ~ job well done.
ReplyDeleteClever idea for the wreath ~ I'm tucking that one away for future use.
Have a great day ~

ReplyDeletelove your elegant entry with the vine that curves around. also, your tv above the fireplace was good for me to see. i've been lamenting mine ever since a little duct routing issue in the building stage caused my dreams of a retractable painting covering our tv over our fireplace to go by the wayside.
ReplyDelete(found you through between you & me i think)
The black urns with holly are so pretty and I love the thought of kicking back to relax with the family - those are the greatest moments. Looking forward to your party and will be sure to link up my post!

Simply elegant...as always!
ReplyDeleteI'd be a very happy girl to sit in front of your cozy fireplace and I love the idea of putting two wreaths on the door. Did you make the boxwood ball too?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the sweet comments everybody! The berries are actually nandina and acuba. We planted the acubas several years ago and this is the first year they are popping.
ReplyDeleteCamille, the boxwood orb came from Joss & Main. I only wish I could make those :)
