Holiday Window Boxes III and Giveaway Winner!!!

holiday polly wreford

Every year one of Willow Décor’s most popular holiday posts is Decorating Holiday Window Boxes. Even if your house does not have outdoor window boxes you can use store bought containers to bring the look inside. Here are some new favorites I have collected over the year.

holiday window box - 65 avenue

This first window box is beautiful, simple and inexpensive to create. Different pines and boxwood are easily in found out in your yard. Here the owner added blueberry branches and some glass icicle ornaments to add sparkle – Lovely!

holiday window boxes Martha Stewart

From decorator extraordinaire, Martha Stewart, what caught my eye most were the branch trellises she added to hold up the pine branches. What a creative touch which adds so much interest and texture, as well as a wonderful place to thread the bow!

Another simple, beautiful collection of pines and pinecones. This would look as pretty on sideboard in your dining room or mantel as it does outside. Again very low cost to recreate.

Something a bit easier to find for my southern readers; here moss, magnolia leaves and ornaments make a pretty holiday window box.

Bachmans

On of my favorite ideas comes from the Bachman Holiday house in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Here an old shutter creates an indoor window box filled with potted poinsettias and highlighted by a row of birch branches. Simply gorgeous! This is a spectacular mantle piece and would look fabulous in any home!

Another example of a more southern style here filled with pines, pineapples and citrus fruits. I adore these window boxes! To see more examples of great holiday window boxes read Willow Décor’s previous posts HERE and HERE

  10. I had window boxes on all of my windows in front of the house when we bought it. They started to rot and so we removed them. I swore I would rebuilt more and put them up....this post just kicked me in the butt and I am going to get them up this spring. I love the pineapples!!

  16. I am looking forward to your posts in 2012 having enjoyed so many in the past. I especially loved your pantry transformation and believe it is one of the best renovations I have seen on a design blog. I refer to it often. Happy New Year.
