    Christmas Home Tours

    December 1, 2014 by Ashley Mayes 22 Comments

    Happy Monday! I've been in a frenzy with holiday decorating over here, but mainly outdoors. Luke put up more lights yesterday in our front yard, and it is just looking so homey. It's such a drastic turnaround for us because usually our outdoors looks sad and neglected and the indoors gets all the love. But, not this season.

    I'm participating in a Christmas Home Tour Blog Hop hosted by Carrie at Lovely Etc. I bet I'll be the only one linking up just a porch, but hey, I just really like it. Plus, our indoor ornaments have a different theme on each level of our house which looks a bit disorganized. So, hope you guys can enjoy just a front porch!

    Christmas Decorating Outside

    I kept the pinecones from my Fall porch and just changed up the crate that held them.

    The sleds are both vintage (one found at a thrift store and the other my Dad got for my little guy).

    Another quick change from Fall to Christmas decor was the plaid blanket. I had a harvest colored one during Fall and just changed to the Christmas one last week.

    I took out the topiaries that we had in the planters and stuck 4ft Christmas trees in them. I snagged the Christmas trees on clearance last year for $4.99 each!

    The himmeli wreaths stayed from the Fall porch, but I did add a garland above them.

    The "HO HO HO" sign was just something that I had sitting around in our Christmas decor.

    It was all pretty easy, but makes me smile every time I see it. You definitely need to hop around on the other links (and the links that are shared throughout the week!). I love seeing all the Christmas decor, don't you?

        Thanks Amy! I know, $5 is such a steal. I really made out at Target last year in January.

      Those vintage sleds are awesome! We used to have one very similar to the wooden one when I was a kid, and I have great memories of using them when we got enough snow in Virginia in the winters!

        Thanks Chaney! We had an old slat wooden one, but it's lost somewhere in my Mom's stuff. I need to get my hands on it as well! =)

      What a welcoming porch! I just love the Christmas trees in the planters flanking the door. They must look so pretty lit up at night!

        Thanks so much Lindsay! This is the first year I've really put any effort into decorating it. But, I'm loving it and can't wait to see what it evolves to over time.

      It is so much fun peeking into everyone's home to spy on their Christmas decor! I love your sleds and the trees flanking the front door! I need to do that with my little pre-lit trees!

      I would love for you to share this post {and others} at my Show Me Saturday linky party this weekend. My readers would love your decor!
