2024 CHRISTMAS HOME TOUR || FRONT PORCH

Hello friends!  I've been a busy little bee over here decorating for days... and I'm still working on it!  I'm pretty slow... I get caught up in all of the details and just do a little at a time in between the rest of life!  Every year I intend to be done early and here were are on December 11 and I'm still working to finish up... but I do have some spaces ready to start sharing with you, so enjoys today's tour of our Christmas Front Porch!  Although I'm sure I'm too late in sharing to give you any inspiration for this year, I hope you'll pin some ideas from this post that you can use next year as you decorate.   I have a question at the end of the post for you... would love your feedback! 

Honestly, my porch is pretty similar to last year.  I switched out some of the bows, make some minor tweaks to the wreath and styling but I just love this look!  It was also a huge bonus to pull it out of the tub already mostly assembled and not have to start from square one with new ideas.  

I learned this trick from my friend Terri Anne on IG- using satin table runner for big fluffy bows!  I've bought packs of several different colors and they are great for garlands, the tree, and making big bows on packages.  They are super economical as well, you can find them for around $1.50 each when you buy packs of 10 or 12. 

I like to use pipe cleaners to wire a few ornaments together (sometimes it helps to hot glue the caps in place) and then use that pipe cleaner to attach the group to my wreath or garland.  Super easy! This year I tucked a few scraps of extra ribbon in place around the wreath too, and I like the extra color and fluff it adds. 

These jars were a great find at Tuesday Morning a few years ago before it went out of business.  🙁  I didn't pop in there often but when I did I always found good things- sure do miss having it as a local option to shop! 

This shot gives you a little peek of something fun I did in the Entry- I'll show that to you in the next part of the tour.

I picked these cute candy canes up at Walmart back in October and immediately thought they would be cute on the gate.  Now that I've actually gotten around to putting them up I wish I had bought more for several other places around the outside.  They are sold out online but I might see if my store still has a few more!  

My husband has wanted a nativity set for our yard for several years so I've been on the lookout.  Last year before Christmas I found a vintage blow mold set on FBMP.  He made a stable structure backdrop out of old fence boards and I used one of my Moravian stars.  He got it set up before I did the porch, our darling little 6ish year old neighbor boy came over and helped set all of the people and animals out. 💙 We love it so much! 

Last Sunday I dressed for church, like I decorate- ha!  Loving pink and green for Christmas in my decor AND my outfits!  Most of this is too old to link, just sharing for a little outfit color+pattern mixing inspiration.  The ruffle neck gingham top is from Elizabeth Wilson Designs and not currently available, but any green pattterened top would be cute.  I found some similar outfit pieces here if you're interested.  My tote is my fave to carry on Sundays and for a work bag- it's large and fits all the things!  This exact one is past season but there are similar sale styles in that link I shared as well.

Thanks for touring today, next up I'll share the Entry with you.  Here's a question for you-  are you finished shopping?  Do you still need any ideas?  I haven't taken the time to compile a favorite things gift guide this year and am wondering if it would even be helpful at this point.  If I were to put a few things together and post if by this weekend would that be helpful?  Your feedback will determine if I spend any time on it this year or not, thanks so much!!  (If you need a few ideas right now I have some previous gift guides here, here, and here that are all some of our family's favorite things!)
