Beautiful Christmas Porches

November 28, 2016 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

It is FINALLY time to decorate for Christmas! Have you gotten your tree up yet? The front porch decorations out? I love being able to decorate right after Thanksgiving so that I can have a full month to enjoy the festive decorations for Christmas. For me, it brings spirit and a lot of joy to the house, especially seeing the kids reactions to everything that we do. And it all leads up to the big event- Christmas. It brings excitement and helps us look forward to the real reason of the season. I love having my guests come up to the front door in awe with some fun decor on the front porch. It does not have to be elegant or overdone, a simple Christmas wreath would do if that is all you have. Get inspired with these Christmas Porches!

I love the simplicity of this porch.  The olive bucket, wooden plant boxes and lanterns are farmhouse perfection.

This screened in porch is so adorable.  I love the crate, tricycle and mason jars.  A sweet little retro, country Christmas feel.

I really like those huge boards with words painted on them. It makes for the perfect welcome to the door along with wrapped gifts and a pretty garland.via Indulgy, Christmas Porches via House of Hargrovevia Indulgy

I love lanterns that sit on the edge of the porch and the little fat tree here next to the door. Chatfield Court, Christmas Porches via House of HargroveChatfield Court

Pottery Barn inspires a lot of people during the holidays and it is fairly easy to make your own knock offs- like this triple wreath and ornament lighted garland wrapped around the posts.  Between Naps on the Porch, Christmas Porches via House of HargroveBetween Naps on the Porch

I love all the festive pops of red everywhere on this front porch!  And the lights on the mini trees in the olive buckets guide the way to the front door. On Sutton Place, Christmas Porches via House of HargroveOn Sutton Place

A vintage sled and skates with a wintery scarf and boots helps set the scene and the table top tree with the wrapped presents round it off perfectly.Postcards from the Ridge, Christmas Porches via House of HargrovePostcards from the Ridge

The wood stumps lend a rustic feel and allows some décor to lean against it. I love the old bell wreath on the chair and the evergreen hanging on the front door. Thoughts from Alice, Christmas Porches via House of HargroveThoughts from Alice

The front door is beautifully framed with a Magnolia garland and a gorgeous burlap wreath hangs.  On the back porch, wreaths hang on the door and on the vintage sled. A red wagon is just perfect for this space, along with the small tree in the crate.Unskinny Boppy, Christmas Porches via House of HargroveUnskinny Boppy

Such a gorgeous farmhouse- wreaths in every  window and that bed swing with the buffalo check blanket is calling my name. Mt. Carmel Church Lane, Christmas Porches via House of HargroveMt Carmel Church Lane

I love those brown wrapped packages sitting in the urns- it really does bring a special touch of Christmas to this front porch. The Seasonal Home, Christmas Porches via House of HargroveThe Seasonal Home

Make your own JOY trees for the steps of your porch! Faux mini trees sit in them and are perfect for bringing out year after year. The Idea Room, Christmas Porches via House of HargroveThe Idea Room

Add some joy to galvanized buckets by way of paint! They look beautiful on the porch next to the rocking chair with a Drummer Boy pillow and red plaid blanket. Uncommon Designs, Christmas Porches via House of HargroveUncommon Designs

I love how this house has 2 ways of decorating for the holidays- I am in love with all those vintage board signs, but then I do love the stockings being hung out there with the red polka dotted trees. The Creek Line House, Christmas Porches via House of HargroveThe Creek House Line

I love the idea of adding a table next to the door, especially where Santa sits. The table has a mini sled and a snow shovel hanging on the wall for added décor. House of Hawthornes, Christmas Porches via House of HargroveHouse of Hawthornes

Those swags with pine cones, evergreens and ribbon on the lanterns are stunning- and the wreath is the perfect addition right in between them! Southern Living Idea Home, Christmas Porches via House of HargroveSouthern Living Idea House

Check out the little wood reindeer that greets the guests at the door! He looks so cozy nestled under the hanging ornaments. I love how they used an old watering can to hold lots of berries in the vintage wagon. Hospitality Designs, Christmas Porches via House of HargroveHospitality Designs

If you don’t have much, grab some reclaimed wood and make a little tree with it! It looks fantastic with a mason jar lid garland and a metal bucket that holds a small tree. Funky Junky Interiors, Christmas Porches via House of HargroveFunky Junky Interiors

Last year, Geoff and I added wires up this wall in a diamond trellis pattern. We planted creeping fig, but unfortunately, it all died this winter. I just planted Star Jasmine in its place so really hoping it survives. Texas weather is hard!. Thanks to a little AI magic I was able to create what my ultimate vision is. Fingers crossed it will look like this in a couple of years.

I just learned that May 3 is World Naked Gardening Day 🤣 I seriously can’t believe there is a day dedicated to this, but maybe lots of people need fences 🤷🏼‍♀️😉🌱🌿

I’m letting you in on a little secret...my potted flowers are not real 🤫

I’ve been on the hunt for faux flowers for my outdoor pots and I finally found a winner!!

🌸 comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links

I kept spending lots of money each season on real flowers and it was so much work keeping them alive!

I was looking for a better option and finally found one!

These faux flowers are
•BEAUTIFUL ....always in bloom
•ZERO MAINTENANCE ...no watering, fertilizing, etc
•BUDGET FRIENDLY ...these are priced great and you don’t have to replace them each season
•AND LOOK REAL. Some faux flowers are bad!! These really look good and unless you dig in there you’d never know they are faux

Each pack comes in a bundle of 2 bunches. Each bunch has 7 stems. You can plant 2 ways and I tried both. You can plant the bundle attached together and bend the stems (they are wired) to spread everything out....or....you can cut the bundles apart and plant the stems individually. I ended up doing that and thought they looked more realistic that way.  I ended up using 5 packages (10 bunches) for 2 large pots and 1 smaller pot.

I share both ways on IG stories so you can see the difference.

I also removed some soil and added floral foam blocks beneath, recovered with dirt and stuck the flowers in them.  I don’t think this step was necessary, but I wanted to make sure they were in there firm.

I’m so excited I now get to enjoy beautiful flowers with zero work 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Yall I recently discovered you could make fun art on ChatGPT using your own images for free! @ciarakenaston inspired me with her Beatrix Potter images and I did a deep dive and found you can do so many cool things!

🩵 Download ChatGPT if you haven’t already and have fun!

Upload an image. Can be of your home, your family, etc and then type in prompts to have it alter your image. You can play around with it and try all kinds of things but here were my prompts for the video

1. Beatrix Potter inspired illustration
2. Jan Brett inspired illustration
3. Vintage oil painting
4. E.H. Shepard inspired illustration 
5. Retro British cottage core style

If you do some be sure to share and tag me. I’d love to see them. Endless possibilities!!

❤️AMAZON PRIME SALE❤️ : these are part of the big Amazon sale going on right now

Our family loves fruit, but I HATE how fast it goes bad! I cannot tell you how many times I have thrown out fruit for mold...in just a few days!!

These produce containers have been a game changer! They come in different sets on Amazon for a great price. I bought the 5 piece set because I wanted the larger size container.

They make it so easy to have quick, healthy food ready to go! Each container comes with a colander so you can rinse the fruit and then put it in the container. It allows air to circulate keeping the produce fresher longer!

Can be used for fruit, veggies, meat, etc!
-Dishwasher safe
-leakproof
-amazing reviews!!

🍓comment SHOP for links!
