Create a magical Holiday Entrance to welcome guests with seasonal cheer. Your front entrance, or front door, should offer a peek of the enchanting holiday home you have created inside. It's the very first thing your guests will see when they come to your home, so dress it up with warm holiday greetings. This is the first part of our Holiday Home Tour for 2015. Here are my secrets to create a gorgeous entrance.
1. Wreathed in Magic. Wreaths have been used to celebrate the winter season for centuries. Every year I imagine what my entrance wreath will look like long before December arrives. All of them, always, have fresh greens as the base. For this year's wreath, I bought a fresh boxwood circle and layered it with this stunning wood antler Monogram. I was so excited to find Andrea, who sells these beautiful oak or birch Monograms!December 09, 2015
How very beautiful and magical your doorway entry is. My last name has the initial B also. You create a glow and dwelling enchanted by magic.

Lidy,
Inspired…now I’m motivated to try these ideas!
I just showed my husband, he especially loves your wreaths on the wall, gate, and the green ornaments in the greenhouse with lights just gave me the best idea for our pool area, thank you!
And the boots with greenery…on the porch are just so cute!
Your home is so beautiful, festive, and welcoming…love it all!
Merry Christmas!
Love and Hugs,

Totally inspiring, Lidy! I’ve saved Andrea’s online shop address – what a great housewarming gift those would make. Happy holidays to you.

Hi Lidy, your home looks beautiful!!!! Everything is perfect!!! We live with our son and his two boys here in NJ, so decorating is not up to us.
Our condo in Florida is done in French Country and I love to spend time there and bask in the light colors, soft feminine style, with plenty of antique lace and distressed furniture. Some day we’ll be there permanently, once the boys are grown enough to be on their own. Until then, your website gives me such sweet dreams and puts me in a happy place!!!!
Thank you for your beautiful work!!
Happy Holidays Lidy,
Love,
Nancy

Lidy,
This is all so pretty! I love the greenery and all of your details-the boots and that bottle of bubbly! Very welcoming!
I’m gathering ideas for our porch. It’s very small, just narrow steps up to a small space, typical city. And of course it’s freezing cold here and that’s another issue…can’t have things covered in snow! But thank you. Have a wonderful holiday!!

Lidy, for years I’ve admired your style and this peek at your entry does not disappoint. I just love everything you do. The monogrammed wreath is the perfect thing to make people want to come right in. I love that you are able to have the live plants on your porch. It’s usually too cold here by this time in Dallas but for now my ferns are still keeping company with the Christmas wreath. :)
Thanks for the inspiration and now I’m off to have some Diet Coke in one of the pretty glasses I got from your shop a few years ago!
