holiday styling: outdoor

christmasy house

christmas entryway

outdoor decor, christmas

entry detail

our little cottage, decorated for the season. styling the entryway must be one of my most favorite things to do.

the details:
-mixed cedar garland hung around the doorway
-a simple pine wreath, dressed up with leaf & berry clippings from the yard, and a green sparkly bow
-a spindly siberian spruce, potted & glitzed with metallic ornaments
-thrift shop basket filled with cinnamon pinecones
-mason jar with long cinnamon sticks (picked up on post-christmas clearance last year @ west elm)
-thrift shop sled, with a homemade swag and shiny green ball
-potted cabbage & metal star ornament

  1. Oh wow it's gorgeous! So many details. We have an old sled out front too, and a wreath, but none of the other gorgeousness you've put together here. Very nice!

  7. I love what you've done especially the potted cabbage and the sled (we have one of those from my childhood that I should dig out!) Anyone would immediately feel in the holiday spirit upon your door step!
