I want to invite you on a little tour of my house in its Christmas style! Today we'll start with the front porch. I haven't put any outside lights up this year on the house or the pine tree, but I still wanted to give the outside a festive touch!
I have had these three little trees forever. They are a little bit worn out but I kind of like how they look scraggly. The sled is a new addition this year which I love. I always saw old steel runner sleds used as decor in magazines and catalogs but the new ones that look old are pricey. I got this one for $15 back in July at a small second-hand store in Lewisburg, WV while antique shopping with my sister and cousin.
Since I put my wreath on the sled (and idea I saw on Pinterest) I decided to get another wreath for my door. I was pining (very funny right?) for this real one that I saw at Kroger and I finally went and got it this week.
It is so pretty! I just love how the pine is all droopy and the green is perfect. Plus it smells wonderful. I wish I had another to hang inside somewhere just for the scent! I added this felt snowflake and jingle bell instead of a traditional ribbon for a pop of color.
I also grabbed this little red suitcase which is actually one of my photo props to use as decor. It was just an afterthought because I needed filler but I think it looks very "Christmasey." I always travel at Christmas time so suitcases are a part of this holiday for me!
Although I didn't do a lot of shopping or crafting for the front porch I think it is perfectly dressed up for the holiday! I especially love it at night time when my tree is twinkling through the front window. Tomorrow I'll invite you inside and show you the rest of my trees...
Your front porch is just adorable-so welcoming and homey! I love old sleds for decoration-we have some on a wall in our kitchen.
