With the holiday season upon us, and many starting to "deck the halls.," let's not forget about the exteriors, whether that be twinkling lights or adding a touch of greenery to the steps - with that we wanted to take a moment to say #thankyou to the amazing decorators that came on board to help really brighten and make the porches of the homes on this years Christmas JOY Home Tour merry! Our first look is courtesy of Earnest Floral & Design - with beautiful plaid ribbon and... wondrous greenery, this decorated potted urn has "holiday joy" written all over it. Up next, is the amazing team over at Eve Claxton Realty Inc. . With these 3 wonderfully decorated mini-trees, the small twinkling of lights and the subtle touches really add to the feeling of merriment as you take a glance Our final look, is courtesy of the team at The Saol Project. This gorgeous arrangement has a mix of everything. From greenery, to branches to little pops of color - this arrangement will have you singing "deck the porch" instead of "deck the halls." Are you looking for a way to "spruce" up your porch or perhaps a balcony this holiday season? Reach out to one of the amazing designers tagged in this post, and see what kind of idea they may have for your home. #guelph #guelphdecorator #holidaydecorating #guelphcares #JOYHomeTour2020 #holidaydecoratingideas
