Classic Christmas Porch

Simple and classic. That is how I envisioned our Christmas porch this year. I wanted something that was full of greenery and also had that classic and elegant look of Christmas and I couldn’t be happier with how it turnout. For whatever reason, I have never loved any of my past Christmas porches and I have to say this one is my fav for sure! So let’s have a look at this Classic Christmas Porch that anyone can recreate!

Classic Christmas Porch

Keep it simple with this Classic Christmas Porch. Featuring layered porch rugs, mini Christmas trees and a fresh green wreath with red bow!

I picked these mini REAL Christmas trees up at Walmart and then planted them in my favorite black planters I’ve had for super long! I honestly can’t remember where I got them but they are my fav. I finished them off with a strand of baby white lights.

I am surprisingly still loving this porch rug and look from my classic spring porch. I actually loved the look so much that I just tweaked it for Christmas!

Also, this little $10 welcome mat has held up surprisingly well over the past 6 months! I’m super impressed.

Classic Christmas Wreath

Classic green Christmas wreath with pinecones and red velvet bow. perfect for a classic and elegant Christmas porch.

I added a very simple wreath to the front door. I picked this guy up at the grocery store and added a simple red velvet bow. I didn’t want anything too oversized, just nice and simple.

Euro Summer First stop Paris 🇫🇷. It’s been Euro Summer First stop Paris 🇫🇷. It’s been 19 years since I’ve been here and it’s even more magical than I remember! There is something truly special about this city. The architecture, the people, the most amazing pastries, and gorgeous gardens. Showing my family this city was a gift. I experience it in a different way each time and it just keeps getting better.

Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard furniture and decor! Unfortunately, when I get an idea I can’t stop until it’s done 😉. I got an itch to swap out our three chaise lounges for a large U-Shape sectional to create more seating and lounging poolside. I knew there was only one brand who could make this happen… I worked with @polywood to design a sectional that would be a complete custom fit for this little nook. I used the Braxton 6 Seat Sectional and added additional modular seats to get this look. I LOVE how it turned out! They can make anything happen! 

POLYWOOD outdoor furniture is made out of recycled plastics, making it durable in all weather climates. They also have a 20 year warranty.

POV: working with what you have and creating somet POV: working with what you have and creating something completely new! I kept all the original flooring, cabinets, backsplash and fixtures and did only cosmetic updates to update this space. I wanted to add more contrast, character, warmth and texture. By smoothing out the texture of the walls it instantly gave it an updated look, the new paint color added contrast, the wood ceiling added warmth and texture and all the antiques and vintage pieces gave it the charm. 🖤

LAUNDRY ROOM IS DONE ! This was a true example of LAUNDRY ROOM IS DONE ! This was a true example of working with what we have, turning something with great bones into something that is unique, custom and full of character. (Swipe for the before) It now feels like my own little escape to the French countryside every time I do laundry, and I’m not mad about it. 

Comment LAUNDRY for all the details and links!
