Colourful Christmas Front Porch

November 29, 2017~ backyard, Christmas, House Tour

I have achieved demi-god status – I got approval to paint my front door! That’s right, no more ugly white door for me! Of course, if you live locally to me you’ll have seen me painting it the past few weeks, and a temporary set back where the door was actually blue for a while, but in the end it has all been worth it. I’ve chosen to unveil the to you with my colourful Christmas front porch as part of Taryn Whiteaker Designs porch hop.

If you’re new to PMQ for two and reading this you’ll wonder “why did she need approval to paint a door?” and for that you can read about PMQs // here //. While you’re at it, you should also check out my project gallery // here //.

*DecoArt sponsored this post, but all thoughts are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that make PMQ for two possible.

We're off to a good start over here with my colourful Christmas front porch. A bright red door and Yuletide greenery are the perfect touch. #curbappeal #christmasporch #homefortheholidays

Bruce is also super happy to meet anyone who comes to the front door, but he’s been having a blast lately with the mailman and all the deliveries I’ve been getting. Poor guy.

Like I mentioned above, I ha originally wanted to take the front door in a blue direction because I thought it would complement the brown siding of our Q. I had not considered the two blues I’ve already got on our curb side decor, and once the paint went on it all felt wrong. I completed the door for good measure, but it really wasn’t working.

Thankfully I still had a jar of red Curb Appeal paint leftover from the Oromocto SPCA Curbside Makeover, and I knew how good it looked, so I did an about face and painted over the blue. Haven’t looked back since!

I don’t show my own face around here too often, but I figured I could make an appearance with Bruce on the porch. He was so well behaved, and I got way too many photos of him, but I’m only going to share a few here. It’s supposed to be about my colourful Christmas front porch after all.

The sled was a local classifieds find. A local woman was making them for a super reasonable price, and I figured I’d try my hand at some more traditional decor. As I do with all my decor endeavours, I unify styles through colour! With red and blue accents, I chose pink, gold, and lighter blue seasonal touches, in addition to all the greenery and boughs of course. They’re from a local independent nursery, and I like to support the small guy when I can.

I’m reusing the lights from our summer pergola // here // on the front porch this winter. I really enjoyed the clear bulbs we had last winter, but with the gold and copper dipped bulbs you get a warmer hue off the lights, especially in the deep of night.

Time to go back in Bruce! We’re done with the front porch shoot. Thanks for swinging by and checking-out my colourful Christmas front porch. Don’t worry, all those gifts don’t stay on the porch, they actually live under the tree, but for th sake of the shoot I thought it would be fun to show it all decked-out.

 

If you’re looking for more inspo, I suggest you guys hop along to the other participants n the hop and see what they’ve got going on!

    REally great door. Congrats on the bold colour. It really works. The fun thing about a small space to paint is that if it doesn’t work it’s not the end of the world — you can repaint. And you did just that. Love the whole look, especially accessoriZing with gorgeous Bruce the dog.

      Why thank you Pam! You totally hit the nail on the head, it’s not a hard thing to paint over, and I’m glad I took the risk on the red. Bruce always feels like a natural accessory 😉

JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, especially now that all the Christmas decor is gone. Bear in mind, this is what it looks like before a child has actually had a chance to play in it 😂

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]

*insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from *insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from @mymitzi make this wet bar. Sure, secret thing else contributes to the #retroaesthetic , but lighting sets the mood. These brass sconces blend right in when they need to, but gleefully take center stage after dark. What do ya think?
