Put together a Festive Front Porch for the holiday season!
This weekend I put together our Christmas porch, so now the last of my holiday decorating is complete! I’m loving how everything came together out here this year! The colour scheme is different than what’s going on inside, but that doesn’t really matter does it?! The theme is similar enough with the evergreen garlands, loads of ball ornaments and an ornament wreath. Pretty. Festive. Fun!
Welcome to my home, won’t you come in!
Love, love the snow! I totally lucked out with this snow shot! The day after I put together this porch it snowed, and added the perfect finishing touch to my step!
My neighbour (hi Paula!) hung ornaments similar to these on her front porch, and I LOVED the effect! So I copied her. Yes, shamelessly I did. But aren’t they so pretty?!
I love evergreen garland and how it captures snowfall! And at night it looks gorgeous too, all lit up with red & green lights!
My Yarn Ball and Ornament Wreath ties everything together out here!
Like last year, I used my big flower pots as a base, and filled them with evergreen garland, huge ornaments, sparkly twigs and white lights! A package full of sparkle! They look very pretty all lit up at night too!
That’s it! Thanks for stopping by my home, and for having me in yours!

December 8, 2011 at 11:03 PMVery nice, Jo-Anna. It looks lovely. Was the snow in that pic from the big dump we got on Sunday? It drifted into front on our garage door and was about a foot deep. I still need to get my tiny porch decorated. Maybe tomorrow when it’s a bit warmer. : )

December 9, 2011 at 12:07 AMSo pretty and very inviting! Love the yarn balls mixed in with the shiny ones in the wreath! The planters are great too! I should totally do this! (and I just said a couple hours of go, “I think we’re finally done decorating!”) PLEASE send some of that snow to Kansas! We’ve only had a dusting so far!
