A Farmhouse Christmas Porch and Entry

Well, its finally the true Christmas season, and boy oh boy its already been a crazy few days!  And I know they are only going to get more crazy.  Over the next week I will be participating in quite a few home tours, and today is the start!  Today I am joining some very talented bloggers for a room by room home tour created by my friend Kristi at Chatfield Court.  And I am kicking it off!  I am starting it off with my farmhouse Christmas porch and entry.  If you are stopping by from Artsy Chicks Rule, I am so glad toy are here!

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have been seeing sneak peeks of what I have been doing on my front porch, and even got to create a winter woodland porch for Home Depot a few weeks ago.  I changed things up and simplified the entire space.  I am really drawn to the simple Christmas touches this year.

Welcome to my Farmhouse for Christmas

I have been really drawn to simple Christmas trees this year and really wanted them to be the focal point of my porch.  I dotted them here and there.

Keeping things simple can actually be really hard at Christmastime.  I find myself going simple, but then also wanting to go all out…like all out!  But then when I do, I am not happy with it, and I end up scaling down again.  I must be so fun to live with!

I found that adding my vintage washtub, along with an old crate with pillows and my DIY wooden sled is all I needed. 

I added some Christmas trees , stacked wood for the fireplace, and a live Christmas wreath on the door.   I made that wreath all myself.  It was surprisingly easier to do than I thought it would be!

Heading inside, I have kept with the simple farmhouse Christmas decor.

I actually moved away from the traditional reds and greens and used a simple grainsack fabric pillow in blue from Farmhouse on Boone as my “color”.    

Last week, I posted about how I made this easy peg coat and hat rack, and wouldn’t you know its the perfect place to “hang stockings with care: as well.

I made these simple stockings out of muslin.  They are simple, imperfect and I love them.

I rounded out my stockings by adding a simple boxwood wreath, you can see how I made it HERE.

I centered everything in my entry around this gorgeous vintage church pew.  

Whats your favorite feature?  I am kind of obsessed with my super easy muslin stockings.  They are the perfect farmhouse Christmas decor accent.
