While the outside of our country home remains under upgrading (we took down the siding which we did not like ~ but remain undecided on stone, stucco or bead and board,) one place that I am able to add some touches to is our front entrance - will actually the door.
Christmas provides the greatest opportunity to liven up the entrance. But between Christmas and Easter is a long time. So, this year I have decided to add a little Romance to our entrance instead of leaving it bare.
Here is the entrance, ready to greet our guests during Christmas....
And here it is ready to greet our guests during the month of Romance...
I've kept the cedar garland and changed the Christmas wreaths for hearts.
I've also kept the greenery in the urns ... but removed the Christmas birds, balls and the pine cones from the red bows on the sides. (yup... there is what the outside walls look like tie-back - I think that's what that is called).
Added some hearts on a strand..... kept in a couple of the gold touches ...
and stuck in two hearts and an XOXO using very tiny dowels.
There you have it ... Happy Romance Day!
Do you change your front entrance seasonally or by holiday?
