Good evening, everyone!
Taking the opportunity of a rare quiet moment, I wanted to share with you all tonight a little bit of
our Holiday decor on our front entrance.
Again, it is not much, since not only I haven't had much time on my hands to do much decorating, but, at the same time, it sure does not feel like Christmas in Texas.
It is very hard to get in the Holiday decorating mood when you are doing it in shorts and sandals and
sweating like it was July because our temperatures are still in the 80's.
I don't think we will be wearing our coats this year! :)
Anyway, here is our Front Porch.
I made a new wreath, added matching garland over the door, made some pillows and on the side of the door, we put a new old fashion Christmas street lamp to which I added a little ribbon, some flowers and holiday picks.
And I tried to take some pictures at night, but
I was not very successful. LOL
Well, you get the idea!
I will be sharing our kitchen Christmas decor soon and, also our Christmas tree.
Thank you for visiting and see you all soon!

It is so pretty,I love the lantern that you have done, it goes so well with everything that you have done. Really? In the 80's? We will be in the high 30's tomorrow but we did have a few days in the 60's here in Pa.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Maria! I love it I hear ya not having enough tims on your hands I thought I had way more I still need to do our staircase tree and front porch I plan to do a little each day I hope I can finish by the weekend. Its still jot here too its depressing!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and welcoming! Love the lamp post piece!
ReplyDeleteyou have such a lovely porch!
ReplyDeleteMaria, your front porch is so festive and welcoming. That lantern is adorable! I just put the wreath on the door today. I'm with you...it doesn't feel very Christmas-y right now. However, they are predicting a major cold front for next week. I'm looking forward to some fireplace weather! Your home looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHello Maria Elena
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments on my previous post.
Although not as warm as Texas I have also always found it difficult to settle into a Christmas mood here in Alicante under startling blue skies and this luminous sunshine. I'm from the traditional snow covered Christmas scene little town in the UK so its always been out of focus for me at Christmas here. Nevertheless I make it as Chritmassy as possible because after all its all really about enjoying this time with the family. In my opinion your front porch Christmas decor is delightful and in the heat of Texas I'd say anymore would be too fussy. I particularly like the wreath and the replica street lamp which reminds me of the old parts of London.
keep well
un abrazo

ReplyDeleteyou sure are spreading the joy at your house.
Your decorations are beautiful! Besos desde Madrid, Elisabeth
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love your front porch (I remember the new look you guys gave it)! I like the poinsettias above the door and your lantern arrangement! Your wreath is beautiful and with the black behind it it really shows off nicely!
ReplyDeleteI guess you will just have to "suffer" through your warm temps while I have to "survive"(We are at 30 degrees this morning) my cold ones!! Well there is always ice cream to cool you down! LOL Seriously I love it!!
You know I always love to see the changes you make to your porch! Well, it never disappoints! It looks beautiful! I love that Christmas street lamp on the side and all of your decorations, simple and perfect!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Maria Elena! I just love that old fashioned lantern!
ReplyDeleteYour porch is just lovely. Magazine worthy, for sure. You have a beautiful home.
ReplyDeleteHere in West Texas, we are still having 70 and 80s weather, too. All the leaves are falling and a bit windy...not a pretty time of the year out here.
Maria Elena, your porch is beautiful all decked out for Christmas. I love that old fashion Christmas street lantern!! You have it decorated so pretty. The weather here in Maryland this week has been warmer than usual this time of year! Hope you have a wonderful day, Gail
ReplyDeleteYour front porch is always so pretty. I adore how you decorate it so beautifully for each season. It's just beautiful, Maria Elena!
ReplyDeleteIt does look very pretty. I like the lights in the greenery and the flowers underneath the street lamp, and the wreath is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely front porch! You can't tell by looking at the pictures that it's eighty degrees, your decorations really capture the Christmas spirit! :) =
ReplyDeleteMaria, it's beautiful. I love those planters! I wish my decorations were all up! :)
