I have a big blow up snowman from the other house yet and thought about putting it on the side where you see my van sitting ... but as for the rest, I have no clue. I want to do lights, but the clear outside is what I am partial too, but what about green or red added ... would that look tacky ?
I don't want it looking like too much ...
Then there is the other corner there, I don't want to leave it empty, but I have no other decor to put there. What do you all think ?
Then the windows, I want something there ... grr, I don't know what to do.
So I played around with Paint and you an see here that if it is in red.. I need ideas.
HELP !
Remember, I don't want it to look tacky, or like too much, but yet since were on a main road want drivers by to think, oh how nice a job they did .. or something.
Hey tammie ? yall got a dollar tree where everthing in the entire place is $1 They have here the green styrofoam round forms and ponsettia's in all colors I would make wreath's for each window and hang them up with ribbon or that might be too redneck:P
ReplyDeletewhite icicle lights, on that bare corner a sign that says "Santa Stop Here" or "Sled Parking Only" Keep it simple.
ReplyDeleteI looove white lights. And you could put those fake candle thingies in the windows... or even lights there too.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't go too overboard with the lawn... if you already have the snowman, I would say one of those things that look like trees made out of lights?
Idk... we never decorate the outside of our house so I have no idea.
I'm really bad at the decorating stuff...but it should be interesting to see what people say!
ReplyDeleteI have candles (not real ones)..the kind with clear light bulbs in all of my windows. I put them in at the start of Fall and leave them until after Winter is over! I get a lot of compliments on them.
ReplyDeleteThen maybe add a wreath of some type on the door and a wooden Christmas sign outside!?!? I have one that says "Let It Snow" on it with a snowman!:)
I dont think it would be too flashy to add green and red lights! Those are the Christmas colors!
I have always liked the white icycle lights, but have never had them. Maybe some year!
I didnt read the comments and probably wont so I dont know what's been said.
ReplyDeletePersonally (and I am thinking if this was MY house) I would do lights in each of the windows...buy some long garland and string a set of lights around it and put it around your door....simple yet elegant looking I think.
You already have the snowman so I would use it...I dont like the yard stuff but that is JUST ME. The kids probably love it!
You can also get those candle looking lights for the windows at somewhere like big lots for about 2 bucks a piece...we got ours there and there were even solar powered...
good luck! I love that you used paint :)
Decorating is not my strong point so I will keep my opinion to myself...I didn't even decorate outside this year....
ReplyDeleteYou have some great idea posted here...I put small wreaths on windows, a larger one on my door and if I'm really in the spirit, I do white lights wrapped around pine garland draped over/around the door frame. Simple, yet elegant. Hope you'll take photos of whatever you decide so we can all see. HUGS!
ReplyDeleteI don't decorate outside but love seeing other houses that do. I know I'm lazy. lol I too love the clear icicle lights. Can't wait to see what you do.
ReplyDeletewell, you know my views on decorating for Christmas! LOL I say to heck with it, and don't bother! hehehehehehehe
ReplyDeleteI'm sure whatever you do will look great. As long as you don't end up with 385747 statues and blowup christmas thingies in your yard!!!! :)~
Oh I think you have gotten some good Ideas and I like your ideas too!! I pasted a house on my way to the craft show that I swear had every single blow up out there! Can you imagine the bill they are paying?? Yikes! It wasn't tacky looking either! My kids loved it! I liked it! LOL You could put lights in the windows too!! Maybe find a cute Snowmant thingy to put in the other Corner. Can't wait to see what you come up with! Hugs
ReplyDeleteUse what you have. It will look nice I am sure!!
