Decorate Your Doorway By BARBARA HARTUNG Copley News Service Without uttering a word, it’s possible to greet your neighbors and your friends with a happy holiday greeting. And that’s by decorating the entry of your home at Christmas time. Perhaps there’s something sentimental about the threshold of a home, but the front entry, the front door and the front porch have a sort of symbolic meaning and they set the stage for what is yet to come. So even if you don’t plan a movie set of extravagant outdoor decorations, why not trim your exterior entry with something special that says hello and Merry Christmas. The project need not be complicated or expensive to be effective. In fact, some of the most interesting decorations are those representing more creativity than cash. Here are a few ideas and suggestions from four interior designers — all members of the National Society of Interior Designers. Their suggestions could be copied or expanded or merely provide the germ of an idea totally new. Deborah North likes to hang partially open paper umbrellas inverted from the ceiling of the entry and fill them with fluffy angel’s hair, leaves and miniature flickering lights. To make them most effective Mrs. North sprays the umbrellas and large showy leaves with paint. For one holiday display she sprayed the umbrellas and leaves a metallic gold and added white angel’s hair. For another arrangement she utilized a brilliant hot pink spray paint for the umbrellas and added fuchsia and gold accents. Mrs. North has found that the umbrellas work best for this arrangement when they are about two-thirds of the way open and they create a sort of hanging basket effect. As a finishing touch Mrs. North added several different sizes of gossamer butterflies to rest <m the handle and the edge of the open umbrella. And she finishes with the attachment of a beautiful Christmas ornament hanging from the end of the handle with a bow. Ethel Siegelman suggests taking a half of a Christmas tree (look for a lop-sided one and use just the best side), anchoring it to a door. Then decorate it with unbreakable ornaments. This is best for a door that doesn’t get too much traffic. For a heavily used door, handmade paper flowers or small cardboard or styrofoam decorations would work well as would gaily colored paper birds. Robert Smith likes to use a della robbia design either for

hanging on the door or wall of an exterior entry. His suggestion is to take real fruits, vegetables and nuts, forcing a wire through them for anchoring to a wire base. Then when the fruit is wired, he sprays it with a synthetic lacquer to seal die fruit or vegetable. After wiring to the base, he suggests adding sprays of pine. He has found that apples, gourds and green pears as well as nuts work well and last throughout the holiday season when they are sealed. He suggests that added color can be given to the fruit by spraying or merely blushing with brushed on tints of paint. Decorations, too, can be added to the fruit such as cloves pierced into the fruit, advises Smith. Also glitter could be applied to highlight a certain piece or two, he adds. Elizabeth McCormick suggests incorporating an Advent theme in a door decoration. Her plan would be a large covering for the door (heavy cardboard being the most workable) with small doors to be opened each day to reveal another day of the Advent season with the date and a small scene or tiny package to cover the period beginning four Sundays before Christmas. The final door, of course, would be Christmas day with a holiday scene. Doing an even simpler door decoration can look festive and exciting. Foil, available in 1 numerous bright and glittery colors, has long been a good door covering material as are shiny vinyl and oil cloth, applied with doublebacked masking tape. Foils are particularly adaptable for this use because of their weatherproof quality’ and their ability to mold easily. Ribbon can be added with double backed tape or decorations or messages can be spelled out with contrasting colored adhesive tapes for wrapping packages. Decorating the door and entry can be like creating a giant Christmas card —a personal way to say happy holidays to your favorite people at a favorite time of year. cmd Social Security Q — I was recently hospitalized and paid the S6O Medicare deductible. Now I’ve been informed that my claim for a doctor bill has been reduced by a SSO deductible. Is this correct? A — Yes it is. The hospital deductible is separate from the medical (doctor) insurance deductible. The two deductibles are treated separately and cannot be mixed. Q — I am disabled and get monthly social security disability benefits. Can I apply for Medicare to help pay my doctor bills? A— No. Only people 65 and older are eligible for Medicare.
