Christmas porch

Well, it’s a final count down. I didn’t think I was going to get it all in. We have had some pretty dreary weather here in the South. Not  good enough to take photos outside. Even these pictures I am sharing today are not the best, but I wanted to get it all in. I would have not felt right getting our Christmas porch on the blog this year. Even though, once again, it’s all simple Christmas decorating I did this year.

If you missed our mantel, our Christmas tree, or the Christmas kitchen you can check those out later.

You will be seeing some random leaves scattered about. Every time I swept and blew off the porch more would come back flying in. I basically gave up. You know typically my premise is not everything has to be so perfect. Well, I have perfected imperfection.

Fresh greenery in a basket placed in the candle lantern.

I wrapped candy cane ribbon around the pillars this year.  Just a matter of time before the tape comes off. It gets full sun most of the day.

I did the windows too.

Rustic water pitcher filled with Christmas greens.

It’s very colorful indeed. I still am loving my painted rockers. You can read all about my painted rockers with chalkworthy paint here.

I love my little 99 cent thrift store chair.

And I am still loving the stenciled windows too.

This sign here I made myself at a local work shop. It was quite fun, however, quite expensive.  I share with you ladies how to make signs for a fraction of the cost. It was a fun night out with the girls though. They enjoyed stenciling. I of course was the teachers helper. She did invite me to come back and teach a class or two. Perhaps I will in the future.

Home is where the heart is no-sew drop cloth pillow.

Snowman pillow purchased from Lowe’s last year.

Notice our blue porch ceiling? I’m the only one in our neighborhood with it here in the South. There is a story behind it, and you can read about the haint blue porch ceiling here. That’s a wrap! Now to get to wrappin! How is every one else doing on their Christmas shopping and prepping?  I refused to stress this year, and so far, so good. Let’s hope I didn’t forget anyone.

Thank you so much for visiting with me today.

  1. I love everything about your porch, Debbie. The yellow rockers continue to be a favorite of mine. The greens in the watering can and that snowman pillow are a close second (and third, I guess.)
    I love your phrase “perfected imperfection”. I’m stealing it.
    Merry Christmas.

  7. I love your urns!!! Where did you get them from?

    I am new to your blog by several months and you have quickly become one of my favorites!!! I bought your stencil with the pinecones, but heaven’t used it yet. It is so pretty and I love pinecones.

    May you and your family have a happy and blessed Merry Christmas!!

    Will be eagerly awaiting your next blog…

    Denise

    P. S….Will there be new stencils for the Spring? One can hope… Lol

    • Yes indeed Denise there will be! Thanks for joining along, I am thrilled to have you here. The URNS came from Balsam hill. I did not buy them as they are quite pricey. They sent them to me to feature. I am not thrilled with how they have held up quite honestly. I have had them for two years now. They have chipped and one cracked. They did send me a new one though so they are a great company that stands behind their products in that regard.

  8. Debbie, Amiga, never say that your Porch is not perfect….I love it & would have a cup of coffee sitting on those awesome yellow rockers💛
    Keep up the great crafting, stenciling & decorating😊
    Can’t wait what you’ll show us this upcoming year.
    Merry Christmas to you & family🎄😇

  10. The idea of perfecting imperfection is really what we all need to learn to do, instead of driving ourselves crazy trying to get everything “just exactly right”. You are so right!

    I love all the little things to look at on your porch! A feast for the eyes! I especially like the wreath hung over the stocking on the door. It’s an example of “casual decor” and I love it!

    So now can you relax? Or must you shop and bake? Take time to enjoy all the lovely things you’ve been working on!

    • I have just a few more little things to do and I will be relaxing here shortly. I haven’t stressed much. Hope you have not either Naomi. Merry Christmas!
