Refreshing winter outdoor decor

##Repeat on a Theme## For the front porch windows, Weber hung diamond-shaped boxwood wreaths adorned with orange, yellow and green ribbons. “I find the diamond shape more festive,” she says. “And it echoes the criss-cross-patterned windows that frame the front door.” She added dramatic sculptural interest with tall, pedestal-based urns filled with mounds of citrus fruit and topped with metal obelisks of her own creation. **“Since it’s the side of the house that faces the road, I decorate the front door and porch with as much care as the interior,” says Weber.**
