2025 CHRISTMAS HOME TOUR PART 2 || FRONT PORCH AND ENTRY

Welcome to Part 2 of my Christmas Home Tour this year, I'm excited to share my Front Porch and Entry with you today! 

I like what I've done the past few years on the porch so it started out pretty similar to last year-  

I've enjoyed this Christmas mat from Hobby Lobby, the gingham is past season from Target, and the ginger jar was from Tuesday Morning, RIP! 🥲  I found some similar pieces, including a jar just like this one but it's PINK and some incredible deals (under $50!) on a few blue and white ones that are this large size, those are all linked here. 

The snowflakes were big clear ornaments but they really just disappeared, so I gave them a quick coat of white spray paint then some spray adhesive and a coating of faux snow. 

Corner bows- satin table runner and hot pink gingham ribbon || Flocked Garland || Flocked Wreath

I painted some older lanterns that I've had red and added them in this year, but everything else is a repeat with the exception of one new addition...  

Vinyl Polka Dot Stickers

I finally did what I've wanted to do for a few years and added a giant bow over the door!! 

I made this and it was pretty simple, it just took a little time.  I've shared some porch photos already on IG and several are asking for a tutorial.  I did take photos of my process and plan to share that with you, but at this point I know it's too late for Christmas and I will get that together and share it in January.  You bet I'm planning to use this for Valentine's Day, too!  I will say, I got the idea and followed the tutorial that John Mark shared on Instagram earlier this year (I recently shared a tour from my visit to his shop if you missed it!).  Here's a link to his tutorial if you just have to make one right away and want to see how this one was made. The only difference is his is covered with paper and this one is fabric, so I used fabric and hot glue instead of paper and tape. The edge of mine is red duct tape!

These twiggy trees are on their last leg and I've wanted to replace them but haven't found some good options that I like. They're fine for now, though! I cluster small ornaments with a pipe cleaner and twist it around a branch- quick and easy! 

My teenage neighbor had a Christmas party with her girlfriends a few nights ago and they game over to take a group pic under the bow.  Then my little 4 year old neighbor saw them and wanted me to take her picture too like she saw the big girls doing.  😊  I was delighted! 

Ok, walk on in under that giant bow and come see my Entryway- you might notice a theme! 

I actually made this bow first following John Mark's tutorial.  I made it exactly like he did with some wrapping paper that I had on hand and love how it turned out! If you've been here a while you might remember that I've hung my big stars here for years, so I was ready for something a little different this year and this did the trick! 

The big plain white shade was sticking out like a sore thumb.  I tried tying a wreath on the front but didn't end up liking that, then I decided to just add some pom pom trim.  Pom Poms are always a good choice, right? It helped to add a little color.  I actually really want to find a fun fabric to cover these shades since I like the striped shades I added to another pair of lamps so much, maybe that will be a project for early next year.  

Similar Blue and White Lamps Here, Here, or great deal on medium size Here || Hot Pink Ibiza and Light Pink Palm Beach Travel Coffee Table Books (Budget Friendly "Get the Look" Here) 

All of these decorations are from past years from Walmart or Hobby Lobby, I think the little nutcrackers were Target. These little pink felt trees sold so fast at WM a few years ago, I wish I had bought a few more or that they carried them again another year but no luck. 

This sign was a DIY, I'll flip it over for Valentine's Day with XO XO XO letters!

I found this pretty Shiny Brite finial a few years ago at Dillards I think, maybe TJ Maxx!  Sometimes early in the season you can find Shiny Brites there.  Found it currently available here and a few more options here. 

Thanks so much for visiting today, next up will be my Living Room and Christmas Tree!
