The nolia leaves and fresh fruit "snow" residue can be hard to such as pears, apples and remove after the holidays and pomegranates. can hamper the operation of If you have a rustic style home, consider adding antlers, a cowboy hat or rope to your wreath. For a coastal home, consider a wreath of woven sea grass with sea shells or a brightly painted life preserver with lights and decorative glass floats. If your door doesn't merit all the attention, consider wrapping it in bright paper with a large bow or framing it in lights. Hang a set of sleigh bells on the door knob, which will give a festive jingle every time guests pass through. Accessorizing Your Doorway Frame your entryway with a garland and lights – add bows or pine cones for more decorative detail. Place pots or urns planted with seasonal greenery, poinsettias and lights on either side of the doorway. Put out a welcome mat designed with holiday accents. Add new brass or nickel accents such as a kick plate, porch lights and a door knocker to dress up your door. Painting Your Door If it's not yet too cold to paint outdoors, brighten up your door with a fresh coat of red paint or a strong color that provides contrast to your current color scheme. Made especially to accept paint, Do's and Don'ts of Decorating Doors When decorating, be careful to protect your door. Avoid putting a nail in the face of the door, as this can lead to damage in the future and could void your door warranty from the original manufacturer. Use a door hanger to hang a wreath from the door knocker, or place a tack on the top of the door frame and use clear fishing line to hang a wreath. Santa's Elves got together to recommend the following "naughty and nice list" of ideas for windows during the holiday season: Santa-Approved Window Decor Affix suction cups on the window glass to hang glass ornaments, plastic snowflakes or glass icicles so that light can come through the windows to enhance the decorations. Hang small wreaths on the inside of a double or single hung window by using suction cups with hooks. Use clear fishing line to loop the wreath gently over the window hardware. Swags of garland or evergreen wreaths outside the home may be put up best by affixing to the siding of the house and not to windows themselves. Bay and bow windows are the ideal location to position a Christmas tree for maximum viewing, from both the interior and the exterior of the home. Make your curtain rods work during the holidays. Remove the curtains and hang ornaments from the existing rods on different lengths of fishing line or colorful curling ribbon. No curtain rods? Just add some inexpensive tension curtain rods to the top or middle section of your windows. Hang decorations from the rods with fishing line or garland. Decorate the rods themselves with holiday ribbon or fabric. New Holland toys are built every bit as tough and reliable as the machines they're modeled after.
