My Christmas porch this year is very simple and I used all natural decor elements. I don’t have a fresh tree so I try to make up for it by using fresh pine on my porch. It lasts for weeks and if there are any dropped needles they are outside and much easier to deal with!
I added burlap bows to the wreath and porch garland. I haven’t hung garland on the porch for years and I had almost forgotten how much I like it. For the past few Christmas seasons I had pine garland around the front door. This was a nice change and it was actually easier than climbing a ladder to reach the top of the door.
Repurposed shirt pillow covers soften the chairs along with green cushions that are usually on my back porch.
Here’s a picture of the door at night with the lights on the topiaries all lit up.
I’m closing in on being finished with my decorating. I have just a few things left to do and hope to share a full Christmas tour by the end of the week. At least that’s the plan. See you soon with a recipe for the best chocolate cookies ever!

Ann, I love your porch! It’s so elegant and festive. What I love so much about your style is it’s simple and elegant…never over-done. LOVE it!!!
It looks so pretty with just greenery, burlap, and green cushions.
I absolutely love your porch. It is simple but oh so elegant.

I love all the greenery. Your look is fresh, natural and pretty. Very inviting.♥
Ann, I am doing a holiday home tour, too. Days one and two are posted on my blog, and my tour will be room by room continuing through one day next week. I hope you will come by for a visit.
I love the wreath and garland and the burlap bows certainly make it your own
Everything is so tidy at your house. I feel like I have a mishmosh of decor bc I have so much from over the years. Must choose a color palette! Thank you for the inspiration!
It looks beautiful Ann. I love the garland along the porch rail. And a little bit of snow sets it all off. Pam
I adore your porch decor Ann. I know it would be so cozy to sit there with you with some hot cocoa!
Your porch is always so warm and welcoming … and even more so at Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Ann.
Fondly,
Glenda
Beautiful Ann! Love the simplicity and the fact you can leave it decorated into winter!!~~Ang
It’s beautiful, Ann! So pretty all lit up!
Your porch is so serene and pretty. Love the soft colors and garland on the railing.
Ann, I love your fresh garland on your railing, too! Now, I must ask if that is snow on your shrubbery! I always admire your ivy topiaries. I’m thinking about starting some in some urns that we have (that are quite empty right now!)
Your porch is always so pretty, Ann! I love that it looks just as pretty in the Winter as it does in the Summer.
So pretty, Ann! It looks lovely both by day and with the lights at night. The evergreen garland is very pretty and you are right about the needles. We had snow overnight and it has been blowing with a mix of snow and ice pellets on and off all day.
Looks fabulous Ann, I like the garland on the railing too, it is just the right touch.
