Christmas Door Decor Building On The Previous Year

Last year y’all went gaga for my door. I hope you enjoy this year’s look as well. Each year I build onto my Christmas decor during the after-Christmas sales. I’m going to step you through how I upgraded my Christmas door from last year to this year…

So this is how it looked last year…not bad.

And how it looks today.

Last year I did the topiaries with a skinny, non-embellished look.
(sorry for the bad photo)

This year I poofed them…

Last year I did big poofs of mesh and didn’t have ribbon.

This year I did smaller poofs of mesh and added in two coordinating ribbons that I picked up on sale. I also added in a handful of new ornaments from clearance sales last year.

Last year I threw together this wreath…

This year I removed the large ornament, flipped it upside down, and wired in the boot and ornament clusters.

I thought I loved the look last year but it pales in comparison for me to this year’s look. My heart skips a beat every time I drive up AND I have had plenty of oohs and ahhs from passersby. By building on my decor I was able to achieve this with very simple changes and little additional expense.

If you want to see how I create this look you can check out my how-to post from last year. If you are in central Arkansas, I can save you the hassle and hook you up for a small fee ;). I will be posting pictures of other doors later this week.

I am linking up with the DIY party at A Soft Place to Land. Be sure to head over to Kimba’s and check out all the other fabulous DIY projects this week! ~ Southern Fried Gal

    wow, that looks great! Really dramatic, you sure can’t miss it! (And I thought I had gone a bit “over the top” on my mantel this year!) How do you store all that each year? That’s the tricky part for me…
    I’d love for you to stop by for a visit sometime.
    Happy Holidays!

    It looks fabulous! I got 4 door buckets on sale during the summer sale and we have 4 windows on the front of the house. I originally thought I would use them inside as stocking for the 4 of us either on the mantle or maybe the stairrail, but I decided to fill them with greenery and red berry picks and hung them on the windows with red ribbon – AND I LOVE IT. I will have to post on my blog later today.

    Sweet! You did the right thing by upgrading the Christmas decor every year, instead of starting up from scratch, so everyone can see the progress from its humble beginnings to its grandest stage! But, I gotta hand it to you; the spirit of Christmas is strong in your family.
