I bet you have a BLAST decorating that for the holidays. I can't wait to decorate my picket fence this Christmas. I have been collecting green garland for years. My old house in ID had a large deck railing and I did it up Currier and Ives style every Christmas. The holiday lights may steal the show at night, but my house stole the show during the DAY!

I draped garland from post to post. Put big (inexpensive Dollar store red bows) on each post...and silk poinsettias in the window boxes. I'm gonna do that this year, and I'll post photos. For some reason I never took photos of that.

We expanded our porch 2 years ago, but it's NOTHING like yours! I have enjoyed decorating it for the seasons.
