2020 has been a tough year – both my husband and I are working from home, while assisting our kids with virtual school, and we’re all just trying not to kill each other. So this year, I decided to decorate early because we all need a little extra joy in our lives. Home Depot stepped up to help! I was able to decorate the exterior of my home for under $500 and it looks so beautiful! The great news is that The Home Depot is offering savings now until December to help inspire your holiday gift ideas and home improvement projects! Savings start early and last through early December, in every aisle and across the site. And don’t forget to read to the end of the post to enter our giveaway to win a $500 Home Depot shopping spree.

Holiday Decorating with Home Depot

The past few years, we have put up Christmas lights but it hasn’t been anything very special. A few strands of the original LED bulbs that don’t glow very bright. A wreath. That’s it. Every year the kids beg us to go bigger and better. But the reality is that we don’t have a ton of space for storage and don’t want to invest loads of time setting up and tearing down. With my budget set at $500, my goal was to create a simple, classic aesthetic with lots of greenery and white lights that wouldn’t be too much work. 

So I started shopping….

Here’s my quick shopping list of everything I got! I couldn’t believe I was able to get so much and stay within budget. You can also shop from my Home Depot Wish List. Remember, Black Friday savings are happening NOW and last through December while supplies last!

• Home Accents Holiday Woodmore 36″ Pre-Lit LED Artificial Wreath
• Home Accents Holiday Woodmore 4.5′ Pre-Lit Potted Artificial Christmas Tree
• Home Accents Holiday 300-Light LED Icicle Set
• Home Accents Holidays JOYFUL Holiday Door Mat
• 10 in. 48-Light Snowflake Pathway Lights (Set of 4)
• 64 in. 150-Light Warm White Micro Dot LED Snowflake Icicle Lights
  

I was also excited that the quality was far better than what we were replacing. I’m sure this is going to last us for many years! Plus, FOR YEARS I have wanted little Christmas trees on either side of my front door! SWOON!

The snowflakes in the window are my fave because they give lots of light, but also sparkle from inside at night!

I placed two sets of Snowflake ground spiked lights in the garden, creating symmetry around the front door. In years past we had a few Candy Cane lights by the path, but I like how this draws more attention to the front door.

You know I’m a lover of hand lettering and while I didn’t hand letter this doormat, I’m in love with the scripty font and the reminder to find joy.

The front door wreath is great because it is battery operated and also has a timer! In past years, I have HATED opening the front door to turn it off and on (mainly because I hate the cold). Half the time, I wouldn’t even bother turning the wreath lights on. So I am LOVING the timer feature!!

Finally, instead of plain string lights, we added icicle lights to the horizontal lines of the house, which add lots color and light!
