Red and White Christmas Porch

Hello friends! If you are visiting from Nina Hendrick Designs, welcome! I’m so excited to be part of a fun Holiday Decorating Series that will take us through the next few weeks! I kicked off the Christmas Season last week with my Dream Tree Reveal  and now it’s time to take you outside and show you my Red and White Christmas Porch!

I know what you are thinking… RED!?! Did Taryn just say she is using red in her decor?! Yes, yes I did. I know I am known to use only neutrals in my decor, but this year I’m adding some fun pops of red throughout everything. I mean, I’m not going over board or anything but there are definitely some pops! ;)

Red and White Christmas PorchI wanted a really classic look for the porch. A winter wonderland that felt welcoming and cozy.

I bought these 4.5 ft trees from Michaels (they light up too), I wasn’t crazy about the style of the base so I placed them in these cozy white fur baskets. I just love this look now!

For a little added winter wonderland look, I hung floating snowflakes on the ceiling. I can only hope that we have real ones floating down soon!

Black and White Buffalo Check Wreath

Last year, I decided to create a fun Buffalo Check Wreath using a scarf and wire craft wreath. I loved it so much that I decided to make it again for this year but with a few small changes.

Let me share a little tip with you all, real poinsettias won’t survive in the cold weather very long, so I suggest getting fake ones if you want to display them on the porch!

Can I tell you something? I’ve never bought a Christmas door mat before and I thought it was about time :)

#ad We’ve been working on a few refreshes in our backyard this year! The sun has worn down a lot of our furniture out here so we are swapping out our weathered umbrella tables with these gorgeous black fluted tables from @veradek . I already had the matching planters out here (and love them BTW), and decided to add one more in the SandStone color for a bit of contrast. #myveradek #reimagineoutdoors #meetyououtside

Almost everything in here was either brought from our Washington home 3 years ago or bought second hand! Piece by piece this room has become a cozy space for our family over the last 3 years. The new stairs are staying and will work into the new design, I love them so much.

It was tricky. But I’m glad we kept going because the look is everything we envisioned and exactly what my son wanted. I still have lots more to do in here, it’s not even close to being finished. But I’m sure loving the dramatic before and after so far. Linking all sources.
