christmas fayetteville style: porch and mantle

nothing i love more

than live greenery draped around 

a grand porch

love the presence it makes

throw in a leyland cyrpress

or two...

 mantle is simple this year

 picked up this greenery 

on one of my daily morning walks

gotta love 

free

 throw in my fave color: lime.

a sparkly coral sprig, pine cones

and white lites.

done.

tell me how you do christmas?

would love to hear...

fall porch...evolved

remember this post?

yeah.

the non-fall, fall porch

well, take a look at the new evolution.

(notice the new orange added...)

the girls won out.

thoughts?

opinions?

"told you so's"?

fall porch: fayetteville style

out here in the south,

come fall,

peeps decorate.  

simple fact.

no pressure.

really.

so did i spend 2 hours in hobby lobby

scouring the aisles for 

non-fall fall decor?

i know.

misnomer.  

tend to decorate in whites,

blacks and greens.

(see visual above)

much to my children's chagrin,

they are still complaining,

that they got jipped.

i guess jipped they are.

still.

i trudge on.

no matter the season,

i tend to stick with the same palette.

i guess i need to get out of my comfort zone,

yet still i sit.

in my comfort zone.

 just like to keep it simple:

black burlap,

green gords,

white and metallic pumpkins.

non-fall fall.

 guess i'm not the typical fall

decor zhusher.

tell me how you spruce up the place?

would love to hear about it.
