What to put where a flag pole use to be on the outside of my house

I would remove the flag pole holder and replace it with a hanging flower basket hook. It's in the prefect place. A little bit off center so if the flowers in the basket get big they are not in the way with your door opening and you can still reach them to water them. They are also shaded by your overhang and wouldn't be flooded with rain. You could also put a large wooden/metal tub of flowers in the space below to dress up that empty spot. A long wooden sign that says welcome would also look good there!

That seems like a great place for a wreath, you could change it out according to the season etc :)

I would hang a basket of flowers on it. There are all kinds of decorative hooks available for this job.

A personalized name plate made of slate or wood, or a hanging basket would fit wonderfully in that area. Best of luck.

Since you seem like a patriotic type - maybe a permanent wooden rendition of a Flag would be appropriate.

I personally am a fan of flag but if your the type that forgets to take it down then this is a great option.

Deborah, I would get some cedar planks and construct a covering around this pipe much like a ceiling beam, then use it to attach some pretty brackets for hanging pots, bird house, bird feeders, etc.

Many of these brackets swing so you could stagger them if you wanted several!

How about a small (14"-18") black planter box with a back board to which you relocate your house numbers (spray paint white)? Plant red, blue, purple, pink and white flowers in the box...
