This home is magical at Christmas time

Decorating with lights need not be expensive nor ornate. Often times the simplest Christmas light ideas make the most impact and create lasting memories for all.

Some of the most extravagant Christmas light decorations can be seen in Brooklyn NY. Most likely, you won't be able to see them this year (unless you live close by) so we brought them to you! Enjoy our Brooklyn NY light displays.

For example, T. E. Rush, in the photo above, captures the beautiful simplicity of this wonderful porch. Note how both the rails and the brackets on the exterior house trim are adorned with holiday lights.

As a child, I fondly remember Dad trying to unsnarl the bundles of Christmas lights. A few choice words always seemed to help. But no matter, in the end, we all went outside in the darkness to witness the "turning on of the lights". Time flies but memories remain.

A Log Cabin Christmas

We appreciate the generosity of Jennifer, Interior Decorator from JD's All About Home, for sharing her Christmas light ideas with us.

Jennifer decorated this rustic Tennessee log cabin for one of her clients as a surprise for his wife and three daughters. We can only imagine their delight when they first opened their eyes to see the magic she created.

We couldn't resist showing you Jennifer's decorating on the inside as well. Who wouldn't want their home decorated like this!

Pine garland and bows decorate the charming loft railing

The main living room colors Jennifer chose were light blue, brown, and bronze colors. She wanted to keep the living room in earth tones to match the fireplace.

Thanks, Jennifer, for sharing your wonderful work with us!

David Clow, in the photo above, captures the warmth of light, not only on the porch, but also the light illuminating from the windows. Use the interior of your home to shine through to the outside.

As one of our favorite Christmas light ideas, use reds, greens, and whites and the sparkle of lights to create a decorating masterpiece as captured by GA Music Maker in this photo. Simple elegance.

The hard lines created by the columns and railings are softened by the evergreen garland strands. As you can see, it doesn't take much to create an eye-catching scene elegantly captured by MicheKerr.

LeeLee81 captures the essence of the holidays. Note the stained glass window off the porch and lighted garland on the railings. The blue lighted Christmas tree and nativity scene tie the spirit of the holiday together.

Strategically placed decorations make all the difference. The symmetrical placement works well to complement the symmetrical architecture of this home. Nelo Esteves photo is dramatic.

In contrast, the asymmetrical placement of the yard lighting decorations give this home a feeling of whimsy and fun.

A few subtle light decorations, especially those along the walkway, visually leads you to the front porch which is bright and cheerfully lit. Cindy Shebley camera angle pulls us in!

Bet you want to see the inside of this home too! Lighting is not overly done and complements the entire front of the home making quite a statement. The snowman makes it fun! Photine captures the scene.

This has to be one of the most beautiful displays of icicle lights we've seen. Along with the exquisite architecture of this porch, the lighting is perfect!
