A Farmhouse Christmas on the Porch

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT A Farmhouse Christmas PorchIt’s almost Christmas and I realized that I haven’t shown you my farmhouse Christmas porch! I’ve been enjoying having a rustic farmhouse look throughout my house this year and my porch is no exception!

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT A Farmhouse Christmas Porch8 My porch is very small and there is not room for anything elaborate…but that’s really alright since the farmhouse look that I want is very simple! It echoes what you will find inside…lanterns, greenery and burlap with galvanized accents.

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT A Farmhouse Christmas Porch5On each side of the door is an olive bucket tied with more red burlap and filled with the boxwoods that are always present on the porch. The olive buckets were an unbelievable $10 find at Walmart…yes, you read that correctly! Beside them are the sap buckets that I found at the Country Living Fair. I have filled them with greenery, pinecones and berries.

  10. Debbie,
    It is so much fun seeing how you used your olive buckets all during this fall. They look fantastic filled with boxwood. I really must try to grow some boxwood.

    Thank you for co-hosting The Scoop each week. I have so enjoyed your blog all year (I still have a long list of your projects to try), and am so glad to have gotten to know you.

    Joyeux Noël, mon ami,

    Judith
