FRONT PORCH

Wreaths on doors are difficult. Scale, color, quality. Oh no, The 'Cute' Factor. CUTE KILLS. Ha, another Tara rule. Wit, whimsy, humor. YES. Last week BOOK GIRL's door had it right.
Looking to the right of the door, above. Reality garden photography, I styled nothing.

Looking to the left of the front door, above, more reality garden photography. Nothing styled for the pics. BOOK GIRL does her own decorating.
.
Landscapes should be designed and decorated for the impromptu photo shoot.
.
Think of your landscape as it is, this moment, can I meander and take several shots to steal your heart?
.
When you look out the windows of your home, at your garden (Vanishing Threshold), does it steal your heart?
.
When your garden melts your heart you've got an endless stream of energy, joy, beauty, wit, serenity, peace to draw from for daily living.
.
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

I do agree. Cute does kill.
The leaf wreath works.
However, I'm a "only at Christmastime" girl.
