1. Fresh Greenery

If you are purchasing a real tree this year, be sure to collect some evergreen trimmings to decorate your door. Plenty of lots have extra tree trimming, so even if you don’t buy a tree, just ask to bring some home with you! For your door, bundle together some limbs and tie them with a festive ribbon and use hang as a door ornament in place of a wreath. (via Sara Tramp for Emily Henderson)

Porch Decorating Tip

For a porch that looks finished, think in three heights. Place something tall on each side of the door, like a lighted tree or a large lantern, hang a wreath at eye level, and finish with something low, like a doormat, a basket of pinecones, or a stack of wooden crates. Then put your lights on a timer so the porch is lit up every evening when guests arrive.
