This weekend I put together our Christmas porch, so now the last of my holiday decorating is complete!
I’m loving how everything came together out here this year!
The colour scheme is different than what’s going on inside, but that doesn’t really matter does it?!
The theme is similar enough with the evergreen garlands, loads of ball ornaments and an ornament wreath.
Pretty. Festive. Fun!
Welcome to my home, won’t you come in!
Love, love the snow!
I totally lucked out with this snow shot!
The day after I put together this porch it snowed, and added the perfect finishing touch to my step!
My neighbour (hi Paula!) hung ornaments similar to these on her front porch, and I LOVED the effect!
So I copied her. Yes, shamelessly I did. But aren’t they so pretty?!
I love evergreen garland and how it captures snowfall!
And at night it looks gorgeous too, all lit up with red & green lights!
My Yarn Ball and Ornament Wreath ties everything together out here!
Like last year, I used my big flower pots as a base, and filled them with evergreen garland,
huge ornaments, sparkly twigs and white lights! A package full of sparkle!
They look very pretty all lit up at night too!
That’s it!
Thanks for stopping by my home, and for having me in yours!

That looks so pretty Jo-Anna! I really love it, and so festive with the snow (which I really do prefer to admire from down here in Florida ;)
Beautiful as ever, Jo! Love the hanging balls, the snowy garland, the wreath, the pots – love!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! You did such a great job! Want to come visit :)
Hi Jo-Anna! Your porch looks fantastic! And yes, that snow really tops it all off very nicely :). I love your wreath – great job! The planters look so festive too and I really like how you wrapped them. I also love your banister greenery. So festive!
what a pretty home you have.
What a great job you’ve done! I love a classic christmas color scheme.
I love the Christmas balls hung on the porch at different levels, so cute! Everything looks so festive, I can tell you worked hard to achieve such a wonderful outcome! I especially love the photo of the snow covered tree out the window – lovely!
Very nice, Jo-Anna. It looks lovely. Was the snow in that pic from the big dump we got on Sunday? It drifted into front on our garage door and was about a foot deep. I still need to get my tiny porch decorated. Maybe tomorrow when it’s a bit warmer. : )

So pretty and very inviting! Love the yarn balls mixed in with the shiny ones in the wreath! The planters are great too! I should totally do this! (and I just said a couple hours of go, “I think we’re finally done decorating!”) PLEASE send some of that snow to Kansas! We’ve only had a dusting so far!
UGH “…a couple hours AGO”!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your wreath… have dreamed for years of making one like this… still an unfulfilled dream. You inspire me! :o)
Love it. It looks so pretty and welcoming.
Everything looks SO beautiful and festive for sure!!

Very pretty! Maybe something more festive is in order for our front porch! You’ve inspired me!
This is so pretty! My porch is just so sad. I’m inspired to pretty it up tomorrow though :)

Your big pots look fantastic! The “”belt” and the bow and the red branches — really nifty.
love your wreath! looks so great
If that’s not Providence? How amazingly lucky to have snow for your photo shoot! It’s absolutely gorge-O-so!!!
This looks so wonderful and inviting. I love the use of red. I can’t decide which part is my favorite. Great job!
GORGEOUS!!! I looove the colors and the snow is a perfect touch :) The yarn ball/ornament wreath is really unique. I’m not especially crafty, but that’s going on my ‘must make’ list for next Christmas season.

I love these planters!!! Can you tell me where I might could find them? Thanks,Lisa
Jo-Ann – Your pots are absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait to make them with mind. Only….I have round ones…will the ribbon work as well?
Hi, Jo-Anna! I just found your blog via Pinterest and I love your ideas! Question for you…if you can remember, where did you find those adorable lights (the green and red ones in the garland and the white ones in the pots)? Thanks!!
Wonderful! Thank you Jo-Anna!
Totally precious
Hi Jo-anna…I LOVE what you have done with the big flower pots. I am hoping to do the same with mine. Can you tell me where you got the pretty sticks? Also what did you use to secure them in the pot? Such a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
Porch planters are awesome.
