Charleston Crafted Porch Refresh<\/h2>\n

We’re decorating our home for the holidays and decided that this was a great time to refresh our front porch!<\/p>\n

There’s no better time to for a front porch refresh than a major holiday. We were looking for some great decor to refresh our porch for the holidays and loved the holiday collection available at The Home Depot!<\/p>\n

The Front Door<\/strong><\/p>\n

When it comes to holiday decor, we decided to base everything around a wreath. Since a wreath is front and center on your door, it’s a good idea to make things work with that piece. We chose the\u00a030 inch flocked pine artificial wreath<\/a>, which came pre-decorated with blue and gold balls, as well as picks, pine cones and a dusting of snow. We love the elegance and simplicity of the wreath and thought it looked perfect for our door.<\/p>\n

Another great thing was that this wreath was part of a collection that included\u00a0six foot strands of garland<\/a>\u00a0and a\u00a0four foot tall mini Christmas tree with twinkle lights<\/a>\u00a0that we could use as part of our front porch refresh. The garland looks great around our door and the tree is great for aesthetics and blocks our outlet where all our lights plug in.<\/p>\n

Layered Door Mats<\/strong><\/p>\n

We also added two doormats to replace an old crusty one we had before. Layering two doormats adds a bit of depth and a unique look that allows you to make your own style. We used a\u00a0blue and white rug<\/a>, which is very much in our style, as the base and then matched it with\u00a0a seasonally appropriate rug<\/a> on top.<\/p>\n

Festive Accessories<\/strong><\/p>\n

We paired all of this decor with some great string lights and some homemade decor that we’ve used before, like these\u00a0wood slice reindeer<\/a>! We added several items to\u00a0our three-tiered plant stand<\/a>\u00a0to add to the holiday cheer.<\/p>\n

The Porch Lights<\/strong><\/p>\n

We also refreshed our front porch by swapping out our hardwired porch lights. The lights we had were original and looked like they were the same as all the other porch lights that were put on houses built in the 1990s. We swapped them out for some\u00a0Hampton Bay wall mount lanterns<\/a>\u00a0that look like they belong outside of a traditional fishing village. These coastal lights are very similar to the lights we have indoors and we love the seeded glass look. This improvement will last long past the holidays!<\/p>\n

Every so often, it’s important to refresh your front porch. It keeps your visitors on their toes and keeps you happy to pull up to your front door (as if you didn’t have other reasons!). The holidays are a perfect time for a front porch refresh, so jump over to The Home Depot and shop their holiday collection now!<\/p>\n
