This traditional Christmas front door look was styled by Leslie Davis of\u00a0Deeply Southern Home<\/a>\u00a0for this year’s\u00a0Holiday Style Challenge<\/a>. We sent Leslie a beautiful 17-ft. garland\u00a0decorated with mixed pines and burgundy poinsettias<\/a>\u00a0and let her do the rest.<\/p>\n

Read on to see how Leslie created two DIY planters for her Christmas trees!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This is my favorite time of year to bring a festive look to the entry!<\/p>\n

This year, I decided to flank each side of our Christmas front door with large outdoor trees. These trees come in traditional urns. I wanted to give them a bit more of a festive presence with these clean-lined DIY planters. They also add an extra bit of protection from wind.<\/p>\n

I painted the planters a deep red, Glidden California Claret<\/a>, that coordinated with the oversized garland<\/a> adorning the arch. The paint color can be customized to your own exterior style and colors.<\/p>\n

The DIY planters are super simple builds, except for the addition of a few angle cuts. The good news is I’ve done my best to simplify the build. Even a math adverse person like myself can easily complete this project.<\/p>\n
