Fun Neutral Holiday Front Porch
There are less than two weeks left until Christmas and we are keeping super busy over here! We’ve finally come up with a place in our small home to stick a little nursery, so we have some major moving and rearranging to do. But that update is for another time. Today it is all about our Fun Neutral Holiday Front Porch!
I just love participating in blog hops and am so thankful my sweet friend Kendra from Joy In Our Home invited me to join in for the Christmas Festival Blog Tour! There are so many great holiday ideas shared (mantels, vignettes, recipes, front porches, and tablescapes) and it is is exciting to meet new friends along the way.
If you are stopping by from Making It In The Mountains, I’m so glad you are here! Isn’t Kristi’s front porch just beautiful?

Last week, I shared our Christmas living room decor. But I wanted to add a little more pizazz to the front porch than just a boxwood wreath, so I made things a bit contrasty out here, while still keeping with my neutral tendancies.
I like to incorporate a lot of greenery, so I gathered different kinds from around the inside and outside of our home. Aren’t these wellies looking festive with some blue spruce branches and eucalyptus?

This new “welcome” rug from Magnolia Market (an early Christmas present from my parents) steals the show when layered with this pretty black and white striped number.
See that bit of snow on the soil below? Winter weather is here!
The cute lanterns were found for a steal at Walmart. (Buy a similar version here.) They look great next to the potted arbor vitae, which was moved to the porch to add some height and life to the scene.
And those lanterns go oh so well with our new outdoor lighting! I love this light. It really helps dress up the front porch and is such a pretty upgrade from the previous one.
I’m really happy with how our Fun Neutral Holiday Front Porch turned out! What do you think?
Thank you for stopping by! Next up is the talented Lindsay from Country Girl Home. Hop on over and check out her festive front porch!!!

Hi Erin, love your porch and the rainboots with the greens are such a great idea! The layered rugs are super awesome too! Christine stopping by from Little Brags (today’s Front Porches) .

Love all the greenery! And layering the rugs is brilliant! I have one similar to your “Welcome” rug, and now I’ll be on the hunt for a striped rug to put under it. Thanks for sharing your beautiful space.

Love your porch, friend! Those mats are perfect together and the greenery is the perfect pops of color! So glad you joined me in this blog hop… wouldn’t be the same without you! (And cannot wait to see a nursery in the new year!)
Lori
Your overall colour scheme for the decor on your porch is festive yet soothing, natural yet upscale and overall, VERY inviting! The boots with the greenery is a fun touch and the lanterns are striking in their black tones. Terrific boxwood wreath on your door that ties it all together.

Just a beautiful space! I have a pair of red Hunters and I love adding them into photos sometimes for more of a cozy look. I really love your door mat layered under the b/w striped mat! I’ve been wanting to do something similar, but just haven’t found time to do it yet!
