There’s nothing more festive than a decorated for Christmas front porch and doorway. I love to add color and cheer on our front porch to welcome in guests. It’s the perfect spot for some traditional Christmas color of red and green.
Also, I’m joining a great group of ladies in a Christmas blog hop so please take a look at all the links below. These are all super talented bloggers so you’ll get so much inspiration from them this whole week.
I’m excited again this year to be partnering again with Lynch Creek Farm with a giveaway of a beautiful wreath, so stay tuned for that and sign up to win below! I was gifted my beautiful wreath and garland.
This year, I’m using some of the same elements I always use. Garland on the railings are easy to attach with zip ties. This multi-hued green garland is from Tree Classics, who I worked with in the past. It works great outside and I love to add bows. This one is prelit with batteries, but I don’t always use the lights.
Here’s a great look at that beautiful real mixed garland from Lynch Creek Farm. It is gorgeous framing our front door. My topiaries are making it fine so far and I’ve added bows on them. I made the bows using ribbon from At Home stores. The rug is also from At Home and I love it out here. Those lanterns are from Tractor Supply Co. a couple years ago.
Red bows are a good mix with the garland to add a pop of color.
The candy cane striped ribbon is a nice addition too. Making bows is very easy. I got a lesson years ago at a local Christmas store and have made my own bows ever since.
In fact, I did a video while I made these so you can see how I did it! Check it out here:
This rug from At Home is definitely getting me in the Holiday mood. Merry & Bright. Bring it on!
I’m hoping I can keep my topiaries alive until spring. They sure are pretty.
Mark’s boyhood sled makes an appearance on the porch once again. Just the right touch out here for a nostalgic Christmas greeting. I found those old ice skates at an antique store and I love them out here too.
The hanging of the garland and wreath on the front door just makes me get in the Christmas spirit. One of you will be winning a wreath just like this one, so stay tuned below. I love this one with a mix of magnolia leaves and pinecones.
It smells so good too.
The garland around the door is just the right touch as well. Lynch Creek really has the best garland ever. This is the longest one. I bought those large red Christmas balls at Old Tyme Pottery this year and love hanging them from the ceiling. Oh, notice we got a new lantern out here too. We had another one, but didn’t love it so Mark found this one instead.
That wreath though, is the crowning touch to the front door. We are really going to enjoy this entryway and it’s definitely helping me to get in the Holiday spirit. We all need as much cheer as we can get this year. It’s been a rough year, but I’ve got faith that things will improve with time. God still has everything under control. I tell myself this every day.
Merry Christmas my friends, let’s get ready to celebrate the month of December.

I really like the Magnolia Bay! I do follow them on Instagram.
Rhoda this is so gorgeous! You have really gotten me in the Christmas Spirit! Lynch Creek Farm does such a good job. Love all their products!
Majestic Magnolia is picture-perfect for us Souther belles at Christmastime 2020! Merry Christmas!
The addition of the magnolia and pinecones to your traditional wreath really sets it off!
It can’t get any better than a Majestic Magnolia wreath from Lynch Creek hanging on your front door. Please make my friends jealous and pick me!!!! Your entry is very lovely and wishing you a blessed and joyful Christmas season. My husband has middle stage dementia and things sure are different. I read your blog and remember when my husband and I did all the diy projects so much like you and Mark. Never thought I would be going through this but we don’t get to pick and choose.
HI, Bobbie, I’m so sorry for what you are facing. That is so hard. I hope you can enjoy the Holiday season with your friends and family.
❤️❤️
I can’t decide between the Olympic Snow wreath and the one called Sandals and Seashells. Their wreaths are all so pretty! Thanks for the giveaway!!
Love the gorgeous magnolia leaf wreath – I miss my magnolia tree that we had at our home in VA! Beautiful festive garland! Merry Christmas Rhoda – so fun to be on tour with you again! xo Heather
Everything looks beautiful Rhoda! I love the all the greenery. That magnolia wreath is always a favorite. Thank you for joining our tour! XO, Amy
The Blended Bay is gorgeous!
I love the Pacific Pepperberry for my black front door! Thank you for this giveaway and for introducing me to Lynch Creek.
The wrest is beautiful!! Well done 🎄🌲
Yours is beautiful Majestic Magnolia and I also love the Winter Pine that has the white sticks in it. Lynch Creek Farm has beautiful wreaths and other decorations!!
Love your use of natural elements integrated with other faux decor. Each year’s presentation can bring in new design, which makes the art of decorating a unique experience!
I love the Southern Magnolia but the Country Chic is a close second! They are all just lovely!
As beautiful as I imagined…Love the fresh greenery and those beautiful bows…
Majestic Magnolia is gorgeous and my favorite! Your porch looks so pretty and ready for Christmas.
I grew up in California with a huge Magnolia tree in our backyard, so it makes me nostalgic. The Lynch Creek Farms wreaths and garlands are so beautiful. There is just nothing like fresh greenery at holiday time. I would love to receive this!
Also, thank you for the bow making tutorial. It came just in time! I was trying to make one earlier this morning, and it didn’t come out well. I am going to use your method!
Hope all is well with you and your family.
Merry Christmas!
Rhoda your porch is gorgeous. I love how you did the garland down the railings and around the door. That fabulous wreath is amazing too. What a fun ideas for the doormat and the sleigh is perfect. Beautifully down.
Your front porch is just gorgeous! I love the magnolia wreath, too. The two that really got me on their site were the country Christmas one (sold out) and the Williamsburg looking one. I can’t remember the name but WOW. Thanks for the giveaway, Rhoda! I hope you have a great week.
So beautiful! I love the wreath you have Majestic Magnolia! Thank you for a wonderful giveaway and Merry Christmas to y’all! I’m renovating my interior house so the only decoration I’ll do is my porch and putting some lights on my bushes so fingers crossed that I’ll have the wreath you have!
Your wreath and porch are so inviting.
