Decorating With Urns the Halloween Edition
Our own summary of the original — the full post and photos live at foxhollowcottage.com.
About this
A Halloween decorating roundup from Fox Hollow Cottage collecting the best urn-based porch and display ideas, each credited to its original source where known. The author argues that a gorgeous pair of urns flanking an entryway is unmatched, especially when they can be dressed up for the holidays. It is inspiration browsing rather than a step-by-step plan — a numbered gallery of urn vignettes with brief commentary.
Tips
- In the author's opinion, there is just about nothing like a gorgeous pair of urns flanking an entryway.
- Urns that can be decorated for the holidays are an added bonus.
- The author does not own a pair of urns yet and keeps it on her wish list.
- A reader identified the last image as being from Grandin Road, one of her favorite sites for Halloween decoration.
