Welcome to my Christmas porch! I'm excited to be joining the Christmas Porches Tour hosted by Amy of Atta Girl Says.

I'm sharing a lot of Christmas decor this week! Yesterday you might have seen my master bedroom, decorated for the holidays. And on Friday I'm sharing two more rooms (and trees) with you!

Even though we live in a climate that very rarely sees snow (or icy cold temperatures), it's still fun to create a merry welcome on the front porch! You can see last year's Christmas porch here and the year before here.

The one thing I can count on when I'm decorating my porch in late November is that it's going to be hot! My neighbors musta thought I was crazy because the day I set up my porch and took pictures, the temps were in the 80's with high humidity! The sweat was dripping off my forehead as I was trying to think of snowy slopes and chilly temps!

The tobacco stick wood star was purchased from a craft fair when we lived in Tennessee. I was actually working at the fair with my own booth, and I used some of my earnings to purchase this star. Our home is a collection of items we've found, saved, repurposed or bought from all the states that we've lived in. You can read more about our journey here.

I also have a plain wreath hung from each window. I took down the red bows I added because it was just too much. These wreaths are nice and full and very affordable.

Thank you Walmart!

In fact, I think everything I purchased new for the porch this year came from Walmart! Those black lanterns and the flameless pillar candles inside them are also Walmart finds.

I purchased a new buffalo check welcome mat for Fall this year, and left it out because it works perfectly for Christmas as well!


If you follow me on Instagram, you might recall when I shared recently in my stories about finding this wicker trunk curbside. I was walking Millie and literally dragged her home so I could head back in my car to pick it up! 

The whole time I was worried someone else saw the potential and would grab it before me, LOL!

I think I might be the only curbside shopper on our street, which suits me just fine! 😍


I opened up the trunk and filled it with a small flocked tree, an old metal Coleman lantern that I found for $3, and some vintage metal signage.

The fleece buffalo check throw was a gift from a friend. She added the Christmas design to it with her Cricut.

I couldn't resist purchasing the live rosemary trimmed into a cone that I spotted on a recent trip to Lowes. I love adding fresh rosemary to stews in the winter months!



Some more greenery in a white wicker bowl adds to the festive feel.


If you're looking for inexpensive porch pillows for Christmas, I highly recommend these pillow covers. I think a set of 4 was $10!!! I used ScotchGuard outdoor spray to waterproof them, and just zipped them around my outdoor cushions.

Last year I used a plastic tablecloth and made peppermint candy wrapped pillows.

As you can see there's nothing too precious on my front porch! The rockers are curbside and Craigslist finds, and everything is weathered...perfect for our extreme Texas heat and humidity!
