I like it, but probably wouldn't use the ideas, as our house seems to be best when kept simple. I love a big flower garden (bulbs and other perrenials, please, hate replanting!!) I do enjoy adding some holiday touches though, like a bale of straw or a few gourds for fall, or in the spring putting some hanging flowers (or even hanging strawberries if I get the gumption). I feel that the door way pictured does look nice for the building it is on though.
