All your hard work is such a glorious success (and your front porch far more stylish than Eddie's.) I love the look of the garland strung between the handsome columns and agree with you that greenery and white lights are the best decorations, (although we do put up a riot of colour in the dining room, as evidenced by my advent calender posting!)Share my Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817611851604816123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-44144194519305430552010-12-07T17:30:21.685-05:002010-12-07T17:30:21.685-05:00Dear Steve, wow!!!! my great congrats for all the ...Dear Steve, wow!!!! my great congrats for all the work you have achieved at your home!!!!

Perfect.<br /><br />Thanks for the Etsy shop tip - wow, their work is stunning and so interesting! i am always hunting vintage too, but when I check out the handmade sections I never ceased to be amazed.<br /><br />I will watch the Eddie video. I love garlands but can never find fresh garlands here. I suppose with some wire I could make my own...unfortunately David is in charge of the outdoor decorations and he likes lots of lights and coloured lights and I can't get into the Frosty the Snowman thing he puts in the yard. But he loves Christmas so I let him decorate how he chooses and just tell everyone "David did that". Inside the house I am in charge except for the Christmas tree where he insists on coloured lights. I want white but since this is the only place where he exerts his desires in the home decor, I let him have his coloured lights. For once I would like a tree with white lights. But he is like a big kid, so I let him do what he wants for this one occasion and honestly it it not that big a deal. I mean, who needs tasteful?<br /><br />Your home is...!<br /><br />xo TerriWindlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-57559539840369029162010-12-05T09:13:40.632-05:002010-12-05T09:13:40.632-05:00So pretty- I just LOVE the look of your house- per...So pretty- I just LOVE the look of your house- perfect!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00764480778381406769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-27846410680790566592010-12-05T08:40:40.374-05:002010-12-05T08:40:40.374-05:00Very classy, Steve!

We don't have any outlets on the porch, which makes me crazy; but, I'm planning to add some silver and white pepper berries (faux) and/or silk flowers if I come across any. We're getting company next weekend, so that is my deadline. You could easily leave the lights and garland up throughout January at least. One year I left them up until spring since they brightened the porch so well and weren't really Christmasy (former house).Daryl at Vermont Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624896971503586307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-11898994980719378212010-12-04T23:44:47.816-05:002010-12-04T23:44:47.816-05:00I don't think it could be any more perfect for...I don't think it could be any more perfect for your home , this outdoor decor.

There is nothing better than a white colonial at Christmas time. Perhaps I feel this way because I grew up in one...but nothing says Christmas better than a white house with columns and greenery and white lights. <br /><br />I've been busy here and hadn't been by Eddie's blog in the last few days and missed this video so thanks for posting. I'll go take a look. <br /><br />What does that tell you that I make sure to check your blog before Eddie's! <br /><br />Thanks for your super comments on my mantel. <br /><br />I think nothing comes across as pretty as it actually is in that room because of the yellow walls. They are actually just barely yellow...really ivory...but in that room they always photograph so yellow. So yellow that even though I like the way they look in person...I'm thinking of repainting in the spring...because I'm sick of that room not looking good in photos. <br /><br />Anyway....I absolutely adore the garland strung from column to column on your porch. And yes, I kind of wish we could just leave our white lights up all year. I love them so. I do have some up on my back patio all year. And I do have a neighbor that leaves them up on her front veranda all year...and it looks lovely.<br /><br />Great wreath too. I'm going to try to get my outside decorating done tomorrow.Nita Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833196166679983378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-14268269521021749992010-12-04T20:27:13.579-05:002010-12-04T20:27:13.579-05:00Tastefully decorated yet festive and very New Engl...Tastefully decorated yet festive and very New England.
