On Friday I shared my new wreath on the front porch and as beautiful as it is it just isn't enough. So what do you do when you are not sure how to decorate the front porch? I thought I was going to go to Hobby Lobby or Michael's and get a couple more trees to go with the one I have and just group them together and call it a day. Well, neither store had those trees so then I was stumped. So I walked out of Hobby Lobby and right next door is a flea market I go to so I figured I could walk through it and maybe get inspired by something. Bingo! There was the start of my inspiration when I spotted this cute chair in a fun green color and it was only fifteen dollars. My wheels were spinning then. I could grab this and that and create a woodland winter scene.
After finding the chair I found the ice skates and knew I could use these on the porch.
A couple of cardinals landed on the tree.
And that is my woodland winter Christmas porch along with some fall leaves in our mulch. Right beside the porch our crepe myrtle is in full fall color. It's so late losing its leaves this year and my outside Christmas decor looks a little confused. 😖
Be Sure To Pin It!

your poor little confused reindeer dosn't know what to think either. should i stay here and lick the salt or eat a few blooms from the tree!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the porch!!! Looks like it jumped right out of a great winter catalog cover!!! I love it all and the snow is a fabulous touch!!!
ReplyDeletepretty porch! Looks so welcoming for the Christmas season.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Love the ice skates and that lantern from Ballard's. The color of that chair is right on the mark!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job, Kim!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, Kim! I've had that exact same thing happen. You have an idea in your head but the stores don't cooperate with the product you need. Then you're left scrambling for something else. Good idea to head over to your flea market for inspiration! Turned out great.
ReplyDeleteI was all excited because I thought you had snow down there!!! Love the salt idea :) BTW, I have the matching trees in my living room. I bought them in a set of three a few years ago and I can only find the smallest two.
ReplyDeleteI am a porch lover, no matter what the size, and this is just darling. You are the best at taking a space and turning it into something very special. We are getting our first snow of the season and I wish I could send you some for your porch! Merry Christmas to you and your family...Ann
ReplyDeleteLove your porch!!! No fake snow here as we are getting about a foot today!
ReplyDeleteLove the chair and skates and salt, what a great idea. Your porch is decorated so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteLove it! That green chair is adorable. I have ice skates that I use at Christmas time to decorate too. I can just see the UPS guys face!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so cute and welcoming! The green chair is a perfect accent and the "snow" looks great! I have so much real snow already I'm wishing I was in the south!
ReplyDeleteLove it!!! I love that you added the snow!!! Fabulous porch!
ReplyDeleteThe chair was a great jumping off point for your porch...it came together beautifully and the "snow" is a fun touch!
ReplyDeleteYour porch is soooo pretty. Enjoy that pleasant weather. We are having lots of snow here and cold.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Happy New Week.

Be careful of that salt getting in your flower beds, will kill your plants. Porch looks wonderful. Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteKim, your porch is so festive and welcoming! I love that you added the plaid throw - just the right touch!
ReplyDeleteGreat holiday save! Amazing what you can sometimes come up with when under a little pressure! Sort of gets the creative juices flowing, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI have a little twig deer--smaller than yours--and I've never seen another one like it. I can't remember where I got mine, but he always comes out and gets a nice red ribbon and bow around his neck for the holidays.
Your porch looks very festive! Don't let the salt get on the plants nearby; I think they wouldn't like it.
Happy Holidays!
Love flea mkts for inspiration...pretty porch! (I'm a northerner...be careful about the salt on your porch as it can 'eat away' at your stone landing!!!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the concern about the salt. It was only used for the photos and then cleaned up.
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect, Kim! Sometimes the best ideas come when we are stumped! Using the salt for snow was brilliant!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, love the winter feel of your Christmas display, the salt giving it a dusting of iced frost is fabulous. It really created a Christmas all is calm feel.
ReplyDeleteEverything you create and design is perfection any season or holiday.
I was so happy to see that I recieved a stocking order from you!
It's on it's way and will be on a truck in the early shipment Monday morning and should arrive by Wednesday.
Thank you dearly, your a doll.
Un Joyeux Noël
