Do you decorate your pond for the holidays?
Comments (20)Thanks guys for the ideas. We had been planning to have our bathrooms remodeled all year and waiting on the carpenter to fit us into his schedule..well guess what..he's been here for a couple weeks now. I had just put up my tree and put some decorations on my screened porch when we got the call that the carpenter was ready to go to work. Don't want to lose my place in his schedule...and since they are using the entrance across my bridge and using my screen porch for cutting tile, etc...I just gave up for this year. But, it's all good and now i have some ideas for next year. MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!...See MoreOT, but fun: When do you take down your holiday decorations?
Comments (7)When I was married my husband was in charge of outdoor decorations. We both were shift workers then at the same plant so it was natural for one of us to come home at 11 pm. I figured it was finally time to take down the front decorations as we were heavy decorators. Nothing left unturned in out yard. So when he was due in at 11 one night I had the whole outdoors lit up. Every light on. Everything moving. He unplugged it. Next night same thing He came home to Vegas lights. He showed me. Removed the extension cord. Ha I am an electrician. After the third night they were down. He is gone now. Kinda miss messing with him. Paula...See MoreWhere do you store holidays decorations?
Comments (29)Great idea, Maggie! I really like your room decor. It is so crisp and clean. I've never seen a house like that hear in Phoenix. We have pretty much Southwestern or Mediterranean. I am a Christmas decoration junky myself. My village alone sits on a 4x8 piece of plywood with various small tables along side it. I think I need another piece of plywood this year. I do store my tree with the lights attached. It took about a week, working a few hours a day, to carefully wrapping lights around each branch. It then took another two weeks for my hands to recover, lol! It was great storing that way for about 6 years. They are slowly blowing out now and I don't look forward to fixing them. A friend of mine had her tree permanently lit by professionals. Her lights finally started to go, so she threw the whole thing out and bought a Costco prelit tree last year. She SAID she was going to throw that one out and buy a new on every year ($150). I'll have to ask her if she did that. It sure would save on storage space(ha!). I don't really have much need for a safe room. Although I may build myself a wine cellar with a keypad from the inside. It would be called a sanity room ;>D...See MoreWhen Do You Take Down Your Holiday Decorations?
Comments (35)We've been slowly packing things away on the inside but haven't been able to get outside....too rainy and blowy. Tomorrow we should be able to undo the outside trees and put the front porch back to its pre holiday state. We've got some friends coming over on NYD for soup and chilli and I'll leave the tree that's on the back porch all decorated and full of lights. It's so pretty from inside the house; I will really miss it....See More- 2 years ago
