Although this will be our fourth Christmas at chezerbey, this is the first year that we have attempted outdoor decorations. With a newly finished exterior, we couldn’t wait to toss the pumpkins into the compost bin and start thinking about the next holiday. So on Sunday, we went to pick out a tree and came back with a 10′ strand of garland, some mistletoe and a 5′ frasier fir.
We’re still toying with whether or not we want to put up lights. We don’t have any exterior outlets so adding another project to our list might just nix the idea.
Of course, the garland would probably go well with a lush, landscaped front yard. Maybe next year.
Someone was less than thrilled about this particular photo-op.
I think the only reason he stayed still for so long was that he was too scared to move.
And you can’t go wrong with a little sprig of well placed mistletoe…
The up-close picture of Bails made me laugh SO HARD!!!! I forgot how furry he was! He looks like a lion!
Poor Bails! He really does not look happy in that picture :(. Oh, the abuse he receives :).
I’ve got Bails photo on the frig door – it was a very popular photo at the Christmas party! :))))
[…] We’ve also talked about exterior lights, but haven’t had the motivation yet. So, a simple sprig of mistletoe and garland around the ol’ tension rod (didn’t get a good picture, but it looks pretty much the same as last year). […]
Beautiful house, and great photo op with your adorable dog! What brand, color, and type of siding is on your house? That is exactly the color I have been looking for!
Hi Teresa, the siding is original cedar siding from when the house was built in 1910. The paint color is “Soot” by Benjamin Moore.
