Creating a Backyard Winter Wonderland<\/h2>\n

We have a pretty incredible back yard that we enjoy year round, located on a nature preserve with tons on wildlife. For the holidays this year, we wanted to do something amazing that both the children and the adults could enjoy together. I thought it would be a great idea to create a backyard winter wonderland as an extension of the family room living space.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We selected a few key pieces to bring our vision together, starting with this Noel sign<\/a>\u00a0available exclusively at The Home Depot!<\/p>\n

I’ve always loved outdoor trees, but struggled with incorporating them into our outdoor decor. I found these stunningly beautiful white winterberry branch trees<\/a> with LED lights , and I knew they’d be a perfect fit into the overall design. They are 7ft tall, and have 660 branches each. I loved them so much, I brought home two of them!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We also thought it would be nice to add a spot for the kids to keep warm and enjoy s’mores, so we added this round fire pit<\/a>\u00a0for functional warmth and ambience! We wasted no time at all putting it to good use by making s’mores.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I think my favorite part of the entire design is that as the night gets darker, the backyard becomes more and more animated! The Star Shower motion laser light show<\/a> added the perfect amount of animation to the design, and the sky is the limit on how it can be used.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And finally, this year we added the WeMo wi-fi enabled smart plug<\/a> to make managing our holiday light display simple and easy with voice activation. I can literally power all of the exterior lights up or down, with one voice activated command!<\/p>\n

Make sure you click here<\/a> for the entire tour. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season!<\/p>\n
