CHRISTMAS ON THE FRONT PORCH

The Christmas season is here! This Christmas loving girl could not be happier! So excited to bring you the Christmas front porch! You may remember the last few years I had oodles of buffalo plaid, and while I still like it, it was time for a bit of a change. See a former Christmas Porch HERE. I think, hope you'll love this one.


Linking up as many of the items as I can. And sharing some in the day and night as equally pretty.


I opted for classy, red, and white. My inspiration was the buffalo red and white plaid mat below. I found the Merry Christmas Sisal Rug at Target and went with lots of rich reds.

Merry Christmas Doormat HERE // Red and White one HERE.

I’ve been into the candy cane theme a little bit as well, but I didn’t want to overdo it this year. These round Peppermint Pillows from Walmart are such a perfect addition. They look great on the Red Velvet Pillow Covers. You all always want to know where we got the rockers and table: HERE and HERE

The Big Balls are from Lowe's

Also loved the Candy Cane picks from Hobby Lobby.

Switching out buffalo plaid bows for Red and white striped ones.
And again, I made the wreath.

4 ft Tree in Background HERE & Lantern HERE



Last year, I felt like the garland just wasn’t thick enough, (new Garland HERE) so I twisted 2 strands together and added the Giant Snowflakes and Big Balls from Walmart. I like it much better this year, but I think I need to go even bigger in 2023, lol.


Every year I struggle with what to put on the steps since I am so used to putting flowers there most of the year. I ways make the main two topiaries and I had a lot of leftover fresh garland from Lowe’s (HERE), so I decided to make two more and I like the way it turned out. Velvet Bows HERE. Similar Candy canes HERE, Big Balls HERE

 



Beautiful Swags from Hobby Lobby, I have one more on the far left pillar too this year.

Speaking of candy canes, I also added a candy cane tree to our guest Christmas bedroom, and I can’t wait to show you that soon.


Until next time, let me know how you are getting your holidays on and let me know what you think of this year’s Christmas front porch?

2021 CHRISTMAS HOME DECOR

Home for the holidays, soaking in the season, decking the halls, baking the treats; I’m doing it all! Last year, I included my Indoor Christmas Home Decor and outside porch in separate posts so I'll do that again this year. However, they haven’t really changed much. Just a few new additions and yes, a few new trees. There is the magnificent addition of two 7-foot cashmere skinny trees flanking the buffet hutch in the dining room and a few other touches here and there but much of it is basically the same because I love it.

I will admit sometimes I get the itch to change it up. Every year I want to add an additional tree, LOL! But it’s like at this point, where would I put it, LOL! This post really does not cover everything but it highlights my favorites. CHEERS to The Magical Season!

 

Be my guest any time in our Christmas guest bedroom! I will serve you hot cocoa and lay out some Christmas pajamas, LOL! I love this room. 

Similar Bedding HERE. Wish you could see it all in person.




The hall tree of course is always one of my favorite spots with the buffalo plaid and red. This year the new additions were the Buffalo Plaid hat (under $10) in the middle up on top and the Buffalo Checked Pillows from Target with the little red pom-pom balls (also only $10). I just love this. Except, sidenote the top foot of the tree has the lights burned out but I’m just going to leave it for this year, LOL! You know what a pain it is to fix that!!! I've actually added a few more ornaments but too tired to take another pic, lol!


 I have all the same tiered trays as last year. You can see them all in this POST.

 I love them all; the Santa one, the Buffalo black & white checked one, but the hot cocoa one here will forever remain my favorite! You can get the wood beads and Cocoa signs HERE, Marshmallow Mugs HERE and Faux Whipped Cream Mug Toppers HERE


I really do ponder changing up the big tree, but I have so much invested in the red and champagne ornaments, and it really is beautiful! Part of me wishes we would’ve done soaring ceilings so I could have like a 12-foot tree, LOL! One day I may change it up but for now she’s a beaut Clark!




Here is the dining room with the addition of the two 7-Foot Cashmere Tress. The champagne pick toppers came from Hobby Lobby, and I am so in love. I even added one to the other dining room tree. When I went back to get the third one, I couldn’t find them anywhere but spotted them in a plastic bin way way up top so I climbed the display yes, post-surgery, just to get them down.

Similar Champagne Topper Picks HERE



And the Flocked 7ft slim on the right 
is a favorite too that I added last year.

Ready to maybe change up the fireplace decor as well. Our fireplace is two-sided and a little bit more modern so it’s not your typical mantle like I used to have but I really do love the red and white!


This year I added some red and white Striped Ribbon to the barstool wreaths, and I love how it turned out, I just took the ribbon all the way down into the seam on the front and stuck a T-Pin in there to keep it in place.


One of my favorite things in the kitchen is the little wreaths up top that I got at the Dollar Spot at Target and added the striped ribbon.


Just a little corner vignette, love the red, black and white 

and striped poinsettia picks.


Sweet Little snow tree that I took a 4 ft flocked for $27 from Walmart, 

took the legs off and put it in a basket.


This is the second year for our blue, champagne and silver 7ft flocked tree in the master bedroom! I absolutely love it! No, we do not keep it lit all night long, LOL!

The little potted pre-lit (only $16) Flocked Tree on a table so sweet.

You can always follow me on he Free LikeToKnowIt shopping app where I link up not only fashion but most of my decor. Just search for livingoncloudnine9

AND A BIG THANK YOU TO MR. NINE for getting all the trees on Timers and Alexa prompted. 

All right sweet friends, I’m going to grab some Bailey’s and coffee or a hot cocoa and bask in the glow! I love you all and I hope you are already enjoying the season!

xoxo
