CHRISTMAS CRATE FOR THE ENTRY

He everyone! Sharing an idea for the entry. This Christmas crate for the entry works for teeny tiny entries and foyers that can fit a Volkswagen in the middle of the space.   Christmas-crate-for-the-entry

CHRISTMAS CRATE IN THE ENTRY

I found inspiration from Jennifer Grace House Interiors. I love her entry table and her Christmas crate.

And on a total aside- I love her stairs in the background.

What better way to welcome the holidays than in our entryways?

I love to welcome Christmas in our entryway.

If you don’t have a crate you could Mod Podge an Amazon box! Or, grab a basket!

We are limited only by our imaginations!

Elements for Christmas Crate:

  1. Crate, basket, or tray
  2. Christmas trees
  3. Garland Sprigs
  4. Berries for that pop of color!

For this month’s challenge, our limits were only in the size of our crate or basket.

CHRISTMAS CRATE

I started with my favorite crate from a popular, boutique grocery market. Tony’s Market in Denver. I have owned this crate for over a decade when I hosted an annual mother-daughter ornament exchange. And to think this wood crate was once filled with chicken fingers!

I started with the crate and some small potted trees I found at Hobby Lobby. It added some much-needed color to our entry bench.

I followed this with a strand of garland and berry garland to add a pop of color to the wood crate.

I love the simplicity of the crate and at the same time, it just adds an instant pop of Christmas to the entry.

Did you see what I snuck into the crate? I added a little votive like these to turn on when friends, family members, or our dogs come through the front door.
