Vintage Christmas layout for a Narrow Shallow with Porch

Photorealistic evening photograph of a one-and-a-half story craftsman bungalow house on a narrow shallow with porch, 40 ft of street frontage with a 15 ft front setback, photographed from the public sidewalk straight up the front walk, so the covered porch and the full width of the small front yard fill the frame, camera height 5.5 ft. The yard is decorated in a vintage christmas theme. Blow molds, fat colored bulbs and a street lamp. The look your grandparents had, which is currently the most wanted look on the street and the easiest one to get wrong by mixing in anything modern. Decorations, in position: 1. The star: a round moulded plastic snowman two feet high, glowing warm from inside, painted in flat vintage colours with a coal smile, 2 ft tall. Two feet tall, so he is a close-range piece even as the budget centrepiece: put him where the path brings people past him rather than out in the middle of the lawn. Warm white C7 bulbs inside, which is the right period glow and the reason not to stand him next to anything cool white. Two and a half pounds of hollow plastic — he will not stay upright on his own, so weight the base or stake him. 2. Sidekick, left: a cluster of oversized red-and-white spiral peppermint candy discs on stakes at staggered heights, angled toward the street, 3 ft tall. Tight to the left edge of the walk, about a foot off the concrete. You do not have the room to spread these out, so keep the pair close and let them frame the steps. 3. Sidekick, right: a squat black lantern with thick glass sides and a flickering candle flame inside, sitting on the ground beside a step, 0.9 ft tall. Right of the walk, matching the left. Watch the driveway edge, it is closer than you think. 4. Path and porch edge lights: a line of short stake lights glowing softly along the edge of a walkway, no cords running between them, 1.3 ft tall. Both sides of the short walk, then carry the line along the front of the porch. On a yard this size the lighting is doing most of the work. 5. Porch and roofline: a dense run of tiny warm white bulbs following a roofline, close enough together to look like a continuous line of light, 0.2 ft tall. Outline the porch roof first, then the main roofline above it. Two stacked lines of light is the entire trick on a shallow yard. Shot at dusk with the sky still faintly blue, every lit decoration switched on and brighter than anything else in the frame, warm light spilling onto the lawn. Palette: #C8102E, #2F7A44, #E8C34A, #F2E4C8. Nothing floats; every piece sits on the ground at the stated distance. Scale reference: the front door is 80 inches tall.
