Does it feel like winter where you are? I had wanted to share photos of our outdoor decorations and Christmas porch covered in snow, but the weather has been unseasonably warm. Not that I mind - I'm not a fan of winter so the less snow to shovel, the better.

One outdoor task I do enjoy is setting up our Christmas Porch Decor. I try and create a nostalgic feel with our porch display. There's something joyful about walking by a house and being reminded of childhood memories and festive celebrations of years gone by.

My porch decor always makes use of the same basic formula: porch trees + seating + additional lighting + accessories. You can't go wrong with this mix.

I've only just know noticed that some of our tree lights weren't working - oops! It's important to have different sources of light with your outdoor displays. If you want to have them by visable and enjoyed by passersby during the day and night, you'll have to light them up.

Here, the tree lights, porch lights, and lanterns add different sources of light. You can catch a glimpse too of the rope garland which hangs above our porch. The buffalo plaid bows add another touch of coziness.

To complete the porch decor, I've hung a simple red wreath on our green door and laid down the plaid outdoor mat I designed. The DIY organic outdoor holiday planter picks up on the rug with the addition of blue faux berries. 

Our Christmas outdoor decor wouldn't be complete without the garlands on the fence and over our garage. Since we have white fencing on each side of our house, adding the garland creates a cohesive and finished look to the entire scheme.

I'm just waiting for a snowfall now to give our decorations that cozy, wintry feel. I hope you've enjoyed this look at our Christmas porch!
