we’ve got the front porch ready for christmas.
i love the chilly evenings and white lights and candles.
feels so much like winter!
we brought home a few red poinsettia plants.
so simple but such a pretty burst of color!
i put the candles i made the other day on the front porch
{click here to see candle project}
they really glow.
and branches from the hill across from our home
placed in big black urns and wrapped with while lights.
more on that project soon!

doesn’t it feel like a perfect evening for hot cocoa and marshmallows?

Looks great! And I love the new look of your blog.
I am LOVING the red and turquoise colors! Really beautiful, Lisa!
I just saw your interview on TV – so glad I was home – your jewelry is so beautiful. Will definitely be ordering some pieces soon.
Where’s the “joy” mat????
That may be one of the most beautiful displays I have ever see. You are truly talented….Happy Holidays!
Oh, this is just gorgeous! Totally warm and inviting, TFS!
nice job! looks great. i feel no matter what is going on in our lives, the mother/wives need to keep the spirit up in the household. You’re doing a fantastic job!
Love, love, love your front door! Very craftsman and just what I’m looking for. Your porch looks great!
Hey Lisa, what’s the wreath on your door made of? I like the looks of that>
What a beautiful porch! I love it and am in awe. Great Job!! Merry Christmas.
Oh My God! Beautiful! I can not wait to decorate my house.
Wow, just sooo cute.
That is absolutely adorable. Could you come decorate my house too?!
Gorgeous and so inviting! I’m loving the blue and red for the season too!
it does sound perfect! your porch looks so cute and i can’t wait to get all of my decorations out this weekend! i am just laughing and wondering to myself, here in illinois, what you consider chilly!? : )
What a warm and welcoming home. Makes me want to come on in!
Your front porch looks so warm and welcoming! And ready for the holidays! Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures!
perfect! 🙂
Beautiful! Did you make that wreath? I just saw a tutorial online and am thinking of making one—was just wondering if it’s really as easy as it seems…?
WOW! I SO wish I lived where I could put pointsettas outside!
Looks beautiful – very inviting!
how welcoming your entry is! I’d love to stop by for a cup of hot chocolate!!
you do such beautiful things…and make them seem effortless – that is style!
beautiful porch – I cannot even imagine the rest of the house.
Oh my goodness Lisa, this is beautiful!!
Martha Stewart’s got nothing on you!! This is fabulous!
I love the colors. So warm and welcoming.
Great Decorations.
your porch is beautiful….and you can only imagine how different it looks from my porch.
here in wisconsin, the only safe thing on a porch is a wreath….we expected to get 5 inches of snow….the first of the season…..friday night.
i don’t like it one bit…but your boys sure would !!
I love those branches wrapped in lights! Simple and darling!
Love the decorations – so pretty! Also love the style of your front door – very Craftsman looking. Sweet!
Love the whole thing 🙂 Is the wreath an ornaments or bells, I can’t tell? Either way I love it and feel very inspired to get decorating around my house this weekend.
Wow! So awesome! I want to have hot chocolate there right now!
Lisa, your front porch looks very welcoming for the holidays. Your candles look great. Good idea using branches in the urns with lights added.
So pretty and festive! I really like your front door. I inherited a similar rocker from my great-aunt. I should paint it red like yours. It looks so sweet.
LOVE! I’m totally drinking a cup of hot chololate as I read your blog. I wish I could have a beautiful porch like that but I don’t think the Wisconsin winters would allow it 🙂
Yes! All you need is another rocker for your sweetie and you two could sip on cocoa and reminisce about your day ;).
I love the branches with lights and snowflakes. I was planning something similar (minus the lights) to hang horizontally (from the ceiling) above our mantle.
Thanks for sharing all these bits of great Christmas inspiration! For now, the 6+ inches of snow outside will be our decoration ;).
It’s beautiful! Can you come decorate my porch now? 🙂
I’d love to see a close up of the wreath! Beautiful porch, Lisa 🙂 xx
Goodness, that is gorgeous! Your porch is huge … and you used the space so beautifully!!!
