Welcome to my front porch!
No matter the season the basics stay the same.
You sure can’t get more basic than white wicker and a lamp.
I switch up the cushions, pillows, lamp shade and accessories.
I used a Pottery Barn lamp shade that was previously in my living room.
The natural color (with a hint of red) is repeated in the little pillows
and the burlap ribbon on the wreath.
Green cushions (Pier 1) and red IKEA pillow covers…
and the back end of a little dog.

I actually got myself outside after dark to snap a few pictures.
It was a little chilly so I was pretty quick!

I hope the lights and holiday touches say welcome…
come on in and get warm.
From my home to yours…
Merry Christmas!

I just found this post on Pinterest and love your porch! We are building and are looking to do something very similar to this…do you know the dimensions of your porch? We would love to be able to pass them onto our builder!! If not, no worries! Thanks!
your porch is so bright and welcoming!
Oh, this is so lovely and inviting!
I wanna sit in one of those chairs all day long with my hot cup of something! So cozy and pretty! Merry Christmas! :-)
I love your front porch. You've made it so warm and welcoming for the season! This makes me want to do more with mine, which is looking kind of bare right now other than the wreath and lights we strung up.
Lovely!!!! We just bought a home in TN and have the same brick, we planned to paint it, but I love the color of your trim and shutters…such perfect accents. What color is on your shutters?
Wonderful!!! Very inviting!
Oh. Wow. this is stunning!
Your front porch does say "Come In!"…how very lovely :-)
It most certainly says "Welcome!" It's just lovely & very inviting. It's simple elegance and easy comfort all rolled into one truly nice space.

Gorgeous and so inviting!
Such beautiful Christmas decor. Magazine worthy for sure. (Love the topiaries and the cute pillows!)
How pretty Ann!
It must be nice to not be in the cold during this time of year! We are very lucky to be experiencing a warm November and December, with many days in the 50's and warmer! Maybe only January and February will be cold?
In any case, your porch and your entry way are just beautiful. Love the berries!

Your porch is so pretty and inviting! Love the wreath and how the lampshade coordinates with everything!
what a gorgeous little porch – so festive. Wish we were neighbors. I would bring my wine glass and hang out…
Came over to visit from Penny's blog and I am so glad I did! Your front porch looks beautiful with the little pops of red!
The night shot is splendid and you could do damage to an intruder with that enormous pine cone.
What a welcoming front porch. I love that you have an actual lamp outside – very unique! Merry Christmas!
Love it; very inviting
Beautiful Ann and so welcoming! LOVE the night shots. Martina
I love how you styled your front porch for Christmas! Everything coordinates so well together. Love those darling little pillows in your chairs and the lamp is too cute out there!
Ann – it's gorgeous!! I love everything. It is very inviting. I love your wreath on the door. Did you make that? so pretty!
So pretty and inviting! I LOVE the planters! Gorgeous additions to your porch!
It is very welcoming! That pine cone is amazing!
Your porch looks beautiful! It really does invite you in.
I love the look, and like when you can reuse what you have and make it work for all seasons. I don't know where people store all the holiday items. Easier to make work what you have. Where did you get that huge pinecone? They don't grow them that big here. Lovely setting.
Love the lamp on the porch.. great idea

Your porch is so beautiful and inviting for the season. You did a great job decorating it.
Your front porch is just beautiful ~ it just says "welcome" ~ so warm and inviting ;-)
Love the berries on the side with the lights. Do a tutorial on how to do those. That would go with my berry wreath from Restoration Hardware.
Your porch is truly beautiful. My two favorite details are the HUGE pinecone and the dog butt.;)
Your porch really does say 'welcome' – and I'm sure that the message is the same, no matter what the season.
It looks like a very relaxing place. Makes me wishe we had a porch.

I just love the porch in the evening light. It is all perfect!
I love the pine cones and the greenery elements you've used.
Did you do your own Christmas pillows?
Peace & Joy!

Great curb appeal!!!
Your porch is very warm and welcoming. I love the idea of the lamp out there. Love the night pictures.

Your porch definitely says welcome. I love the night shot with everything lit up.
So cheerful and festive! I love it! Who wouldn't want to come home to such a warm welcome?!
What a beautiful porch, love how you have the chairs and lampshade and just how everything goes so well together!
Very pretty and so welcoming!! It just is screaming come on, have a seat, stay a while!! I love your wreath too! Very Pretty!!
What a beautiful front porch. Although I'm sure inside is nice and warm, it would be very hard not to want to sit in your wicker chairs for a bit with perhaps a cup of cocoa!
So beautiful!!
Such a beautiful porch, Ann. I have that same JOY pillow. Once Christmas is over, I still use it, but turn it over to the other side. :-)
Fondly,
Glenda
Beautiful. So cozy, perfect for hot chocolate. Love your topiaries and the cushions! I have got to find some rockers like that, they are awesome!
Very inviting! Love that HUGE pinecone!!
