I bought two poinsettias from Walmart last week. Then I came up with the idea of using them at the front door, so I went back for two more. I was pleasantly surprised to find them for 50% off, I got four. Now I have a total of six 🙂
Right Side of entrance.
Left Side
I’m glad all my plants have filled in. The green looks so good with the red and I don’t mind those purple mums.
The Door
Same green as the sweet potato vines.
While I was at Ikea in Atlanta, I only got one of these…mistake…big mistake.
I was planning on using it as a centerpiece. But when I sat it out here, I couldn’t bring it back inside. It just pops here beside the greenery…I’m ok with it being asymmetrical.
It doesn’t look bad (I keep telling myself). I wish that I lived closer to Ikea, I wouldn’t have to talk myself into this. What do you think?
I love these plants!
Don’t you?
This is one of the reasons that I love red and green for Christmas.
I may put this one at the end of all my posts for December, I have a feeling that I’ll be doing a few more for Christmas. I hope you don’t mind. Go get you some poinsettias!

December 11, 2011 at 11:26 amDebbie this is truly exquisite! I absolutely love the planter hanging on your door and I agree with what someone said in another comment that it looks like the front of a Christmas Card…or a magazine! So, so beautiful and I’m so, so thrilled you shared it at the Doors and Porches Party! 🙂

December 6, 2011 at 12:36 amI love the look of the poinsettias on the door – it ties the whole entryway together with those on the side. It is such a classic Holiday look you could not go wrong.

December 4, 2011 at 9:09 amHi Debbie,
Wow , love the red!
Your Poinsettia flowers are just so elegant!!
I like the lantern too!! I think it looks perfect on the right side, that is where the focus is, the door knob and the door bell. I think your eye would naturally go to the right!!
It looks so pretty, Yes, I think you should have that last picture as your signature picture this season it looks like a post card….
All the Best,
Christine

December 3, 2011 at 11:34 pmBeautiful entryway. Everything is just gorgeous. You must live somewhere very warm to use your poinsettias outside ~ a luxury not us Northerners can’t even imagine. Love the red lantern too.
