Holiday home tour: Outdoors

>> Thursday, December 17, 2009

We only do a little outdoor decorating. I'd love to do lights, but it's a lot more work than we want to put into it. But, here's what we did this year:
e
















(As you can see, it snowed before I took all the photos.)

Do you decorate outside?

Your home looks so beautiful with all the snow! I'm not able to decorate this year with all of the reovation work going on in my house, but you better believe that I'll stalk the Christmas clearances to get great deals for next year!

Gorgeous! Just like a picture in a magazine! You make me want to do something to spruce up my place. :)

First - I hate you for having snow.
Second - I hate you for your window boxes. They are too darn cute. Make some for me and ship them to Virginia. Along with that snow.
Third - I hate you for how awesomely adorable your fence is with the garland swag.

That is all. :)

I love that you say putting up lights is more work than you wanted to put into decorating, yet you decorate every room of your house! I guess everybody has different priorities :)

Oh my goodness! I love your door with the decal! Do you leave it up all year or just for the season? I think I want one for all year long!

My husband is a total fanatic with outdoor lighting. He puts so many up that circuit breakers flip...then he realizes it's time to stop. There's such a thing as too many outdoor lites, so enjoy the beautiful decs you do!

Your house is adorable! Nice touch with the snow! We do decorate outside. Lights around our door and and on the bushes, a wreath on the door.

Kristen December 17, 2009 4:24 PM  

the snow is a great tough! We do lights outside, and a wreath or two

If Audrey Hepburn had window boxes, that is how she'd decorate them for Christmas. And that, my friend, is my very highest compliment. :)

Your outside looks beautiful! We had window boxes in our first house and I miss them!! I love how you added the red bow! The fence looks great! The snow just makes it extra special!

Looks fabulous! Love the sled. The snow couldn't have been placed on it more perfectly. It all looks like something from Better Homes and Gardens! Do you have trees in the dogs room? I thought I saw something in the reflection. Love it all Kim. Merry Christmas!

i love your personalized mailbox

Kim @ NewlyWoodwards December 17, 2009 9:22 PM  

Jordan - that's a good point. I guess that I meant I don't like the cold. And, I don't wanna put up lights, on a ladder, in the color. That on top of the fact that we have NO outside outlets. ;)

Kim @ NewlyWoodwards December 17, 2009 9:23 PM  

color=cold

And, Meredith, I do leave up the decal all year. =)

Sara @ Russet Street Reno December 17, 2009 10:05 PM  

Hey, that is way more than we do! We have a little dinky wreath on the outside of the house, thats IT! haha

LOVE the lettered mailbox... fabulous!

And I can't tell you how excited I am that you got an embroidery machine... seriously, that's fabulous. I don't know if I'd ever get anything done besides embroidering everything I could get my hands on. :) What projects are on your docket?

Melissa December 18, 2009 6:09 PM  

Kim- I love it! We do the same thing with our fence (now that we have one) and I think is looks so cute! :)

Aww, your house is picture perfect!! It is so charming and I love, love the mailbox!!

Kristen @ Miss Prissy Paige December 19, 2009 10:29 AM  

I love the ribbon wrapped on the window boxes. Too freakin awesome. And the fence with the garland, I"m in love!

Gillian December 20, 2009 2:20 AM  

I love your mailbox and even more (if that is possible) your door!! Wow! I wish it would work on our door but it has stained glass. Beautiful job!

Your door is so festive! Super cute!

The blanket of snow only adds to the charmingness that is your home. I am DYING over your white picket fence. ::whispers to myself:: Someday, FC, someday.

Leigh December 27, 2009 10:07 PM  

I love the ribbon on your window boxes. That is a great idea! If I had window boxes, I'd run right out and copy you now. ;)

Okay, maybe not. But, Kim usually gets a big smile on her face and says, "They like me, they really like me."
