{ Outdoor Christmas Decorating }

My back door is the most used door in my home
(well, it's really a side door, but that seems so awkward to say).
But, I've neglected this door for far too long.
So I'm sprucing it up for Christmas with some simple things I have laying around the house.
I purchase nothing to create this back door scene...really, nothing.


I fluffed up an old chair with a throw and this black and white IKEA pillow.


The tree is wrapped in burlap and white ribbon.
I filled the bottom bucket with slices of wood to keep it from toppling over, 
along with a few ornaments.


One of my favs...the yardstick star.


I even added a felt flower pin for a pop of red.


Greens from our yard.




I layered a little of this and a little of that, tied it all together and created this swag for my garage doors.

  5. Effortless and gorgeous!I love it all. I had hoped to use greenery with berries from my yard to wrap up my kitchen decor today but the greedy birds have eaten almost every last berry. I guess that makes my heart happy, too and I did find a few they missed on the bottom of the bushes.
