The tradition of using Christmas lights actually originates with ancient people that feared the long, dark days of winter. During the winter solstice, large bonfires were kept burning to "lure" the sun back. This tradition continued throughout the ages but, like many ancient traditions, it evolved and mutated so much that its origin is not readily clear.
A house with lights looks amazing but adding a few additional touches can take amazing to fabulous! Wreaths, window boxes and tree's are incredible additions to you outdoor space.
This front-door decoration brings to mind an elaborate bell-pull. The badge consists of dried flowers, fruits, pods, pine cones, and fresh greenery. The badge was created on a styrofoam disk and the fresh greenery is layered in burlap. The designer constructed the bottom tassel and attached it to the medallion.
To create this look, use pine boughs as a base and then add seasonal produce to the mix. For even more holiday flair, try weaving outdoor ribbon throughout your arrangements.
Cold winter days are an asset for this display because they allow produce to stay fresh longer. You can replace the fruits and vegetables as needed, or set up the display right before a holiday event.
Decorate your loggia ,add a tree to your Outdoor space. The boat house, Gate house or Studio located on your property should be dressed in it's holiday finery too .
