Christmas in the Country Front Porch

Hi folks! I went ahead and got started decorating for Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I love Thanksgiving- it's my favorite holiday after all, but it being a week later this year I didn't want to miss out on precious time of seeing our first house all spiffed up for Christmas! :)

               

 For these wreaths, I just reused my fall wreaths and made a bow from adorable ribbon I found at Michael's along with some festive greens.

 

 I added different colors and types of ornaments to one wire lantern and a pine cone to the smaller one.

 

The step-back view! :)

 

Thanks for stopping in! I have inside decorations to share with you soon!

Fall Ready Front Porch

Hi folks!

I did a little creating this afternoon with my boxes of fall decorations that I have been so excited to drag out. 

Here is our fall porch!

For the wreaths, I just used two fall themed napkins and made bow-ties with them to attach to the grapevine wreaths. The pumpkins are sitting inside two candle holder cages I found on clearance a few months ago at a sweet little boutique. I added to fall-ish colored flowers to the urn/vase and we are good to go!

Now to tackle the inside!

Easy Bow-tie Fall Wreath

It's my favorite time of the year! Although today was warm still, there was a nice breeze a stirrin'...good enough for me! :)

I wanted to do double wreath for the front doors since they are double doors and I am all about symmetry. I decided to go the easy route and use a couple fall themed fabric napkins and create bow-ties with them. Then, using wire and string, I just attached them to the bottom of a grapevine wreath. E. A. S.Y. 

 I love how they are cute but not too overpowering. We'll leave overpowering to the Christmas wreaths. ;)

End of Summer Front Porch

Being as it is still in the 90s weather wise here, I thought I'd keep the decor on the porch neutral for the time being (even though I am busting with fall ideas!).

I have envisions of double wreaths on the doors for fall, pumpkins galore and some awesome arrangements. But that's a post for a later (and colder) day! ;)
Take a look at the inside of our house here.

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend!
