Frame the View

When decorating your house, consider the first thing guests will see when they come in the front door. The interior garden club team―Margaret Galloway, Mignon Canale, Pedrick Lowrey, and Lezlie Barker―arranged gifts and handmade wreaths to welcome guests.

Empty boxes were wrapped in kraft paper to coordinate with the decorating scheme. Embellished with shimmery bows, moss, lichen, and papier-mâché acorn ornaments, these “gifts” can be used year after year. If kraft paper isn’t readily at hand, use paper grocery bags as a free alternative.
