Quick Tips for Outdoor Wall Décor

One way to enhance the appearance of your outdoor décor is to focus on your outdoor walls.  Here are a few ideas:

1.  Put metal window boxes beneath your windows and fill them with flowers or plants.

2.  Become a fan of Greenmen.  No this isn't some rival to the Blue Man Group.  Greenmen is a centuries old art style first used in churches.   The best way to describe it is that it is a sculpture of a face surrounded by leaves, branches or vines.  Rather than describing it, it is easier to look at the pictures.  These things may be an acquired taste but they really are unique décor.

3.  Attach a large address marker to an outdoor wall personalized with your address.  Or if you prefer, get a lawn stake and display it in your front yard. 

4.  Get a weathervane.  This may sound odd, but weathervanes aren't just for farms anymore.  They are beautifully sculpted pieces of art.

5.  Go for broke – Get a dragon or gargoyle wall hanging.  They lay flat so that they look like they are crawling up your house.
