Holiday Front Porch

Christmas Porch Ideas |

Decorating my front porch for Christmas is one of the things I look forward to most.

It's also the one area I agonize over too. 

If you knew how many times this porch has been changed in the past 3 weeks, you'd laugh. 

Several times!

I knew I wanted to bring the blue plaid back out. I knew the rockers were going to stay put.

But the brick wall? Yeah that gave me heartburn. I think I finally found something that I love.

I finished this porch on a day that our temperatures were running about 4 degrees outside.

That was my level of commitment to get this done and I am so glad I did. Last night we got another round of lake effect snow.

So there literally is another 7 to 8 inches of snow on this porch right now.

Which is fine by me, Christmas isn't Christmas unless there is snow outside!

I filled the lanterns with plastic blue ornaments and tied some ribbon and plaid to them as well.

Instead of a wreath on the door I used a large moss covered basket filled with greenery and touches of gold.

We added lit wreaths to all the North facing windows.  Each year I try and buy and light a couple more for the outside.

Note to self, next year let's move the 5 foot tall wreath to the driveway. Also to start doing the icicle lights all the way around the house.

Hope you enjoyed my 2016 tour of our front porch.
