I’m stylin’ and profilin’ on my front porch.
It’s a stylin’ hop of Christmas homes and the fabulously stylish Chris from Just a Girl was the stop before me.
Thanks Lindsay for inviting me to this hop.
Be sure to check out my full Christmas Home Tour – here’s a little peek.
(by the way, don’t forget to enter my amazingly fantabulous giveaway – at the end of this post)
Now it’s time to put on our parkas, boots and mittens and head outside with a thermos full of hot chocolate – extra whip.
Little known fact – Santa leaves the best presents at homes with the best outdoor decorations.
Yes, it’s true.
So since I love presents and don’t want to be passed by, I made sure to attract Santa and his reindeer with a styling porch.
An old tartan Skotch Jug, a few of my snowy mason jar candles and a pair of ice skates say come on in and sit by a roaring fire.
Next on this stylin’ hop is the amazing Michelle at Iron and Twine so stop on by and tell her I said hi!
To see the full tour from the beginning make sure to head over to Lindsay’s.
I’ve bee a busy little elf – see my full Christmas House Tour here.
Here’s the schedule for the week if you’d like more inspiration.

beautiful- i love all of the fresh greens!
You are pretty good at stylin’ and profiling’. Gorgeous front porch decor. Love the plaid!
I’m blogger stylin’ today too 😉
Kelly, I LOVE your Christmas porch!!! It really is so beautiful. Can’t wait until I one day have a porch to decorate. Thank you for joining us!
Your porch looks great! I also LOVE your front door!
I love it Kelly!! That sled is still one of my fave things ever!
I need an elf. Will you be my elf? I have wrapping, and porch decorating, and baking. None of it is done.
It all looks great! LOVE that old shovel! Life to the full! Melissa
Your front door is amazing! I love the ice skates and the beautiful garland. And of course your mantel is to die for!
Wow Kelly!!!! Talk about gorgeous??? Your front door picture literally made me say out loud “oooooh”. lol. It is so pretty! That shovel with the image on it is ah-mazing, too. And I must start collecting vintage crates…they look so pretty. I mean, how could Santa not stop. You pulled it out here! 😉 Love it, friend!
Kelly,
I love the porch. Perfect touches of everything. Makes me wish my door had a little more character to it so I could style around it. Your home tour was a wonderful treat. Thanks so much for sharing each year. It brings a bit of holiday magic into my day!
I love it all, Kelly, but my favorites are the plaid thermos and the soda crates! Great job!
I would definitely stop by and leave some really cool presents at this house if I were Santa. No coal in the stockings here. I am seriously coveting that Santa Vintage Snow Shovel. Those kinds of things never make it past the Mason/Dixie line for us Westerners. We have to deal with faux antique and vintage here!
so pretty! I think the plaid jug I used in my decor is the exact same as yours! I didn’t know what it was though. Just got it from my husband’s grandmother’s estate.
You are very talented. I’m a “new follower”, I know it is wrong to “ENVY”, however: my family and I moved in with the “in-laws”, which was …”only for a couple of months. …..” I believe we know how that goes sometimes. I miss so very much: decorating, diy’ing,” stylin’ & profilin'”, and I wish I could see some advise about trying to make the best of things. …esp. for my 3 children to incorporate our type of decor, in a “temporary”, living quarter’s. This is our 2nd Christmas here! Don’t get me wrong I am very grateful, that we have family to help, in certain hardships. I only watch how beautiful your house is (as I’m crying)…. longing for that since of comfort we had. (Did I mention my mother- in-law, is a bit of a hoarder (?) Temporary living decor…would be a wonderful advice, I believe for many who might be in the same situation (?) Sorry so long comment, again: gorgeous! !!!!!!
Hi Missy!
I understand – we rented for two years while we were searching for – then renovating our house. Most of my stuff was packed away in boxes for that time so I had to buy a very small tree each Christmas. I suggest you decorate for the family – I’m sure you mom in law and everyone else would appreciate it if you took over. Buy some natural greenery – garland – snip it and put it all around the house. Add a bunch of candles, ornaments in bowls, fresh fruit – you can’t go wrong. You can have your kids make ornaments and paper snowflakes – string them up and hang them in front of every window. How fun would that be. Let them in on the action – get paint, clear or wooden ornaments and let them go to town decorating. Hope that helps and enjoy the holiday season.

Kelly!!! If that door goes missing you know where to find it 😉 Such a fun, vintage front porch! No doubt Santa will stop by ~ maybe even twice! Love it!
Kelly!!! So gorgeous! what an entrance! I love that little retro plaid cooler. Super cute! xo Kristin
Absolutely gorgeous! You porch is so warm and welcoming! Have a Merry Christmas!
Your front porch looks like it came straight out of a magazine! Love all the special touches like the ice skates and plaid cooler. So pretty!
Girl! where do you find so many gorgeous treasures? honestly, every time I turn around I spot a gem…LOVE that old scotch jug…gah. beautiful Kel..love ya! xo
Seriously?! Totally looks like a BHG stylist did all of your dirty work. Everything is fantastic!! And those metal stocking are fab. If Santa give the best gifts for outdoor decor, I’m getting coal. Two candles and an ugly shovel. Ha!
You have the best ideas for stylin your vintage accessories!! Very fun!
Mary Alice
Love your rustic porch decor!
I am half way done with my porches..so I better get crackin’ or no presents for me!!…My problem is that I ran out of hot chocolate!..you are way too creative Kelly!!…just love how you stacked those soda crates…and love that shovel..is that a family treasure?
Your front porch is astounding! Definitely an eye stopper….gorgeous!
So pretty Kelly, I love the skates on your wreath – I had the same idea this year. I love the feel it adds to the front porch! Your sleigh is amazing too, I saw one at an antique store today but totally couldn’t stomach the $120 . Saw some gorgeous vintage skis too but the $199 was also above me. Where do you find most of your amazing stuff? Great flea markets? Antique shops? Garage sales?
all of my sleds were mine or my hubbys when we were kids. In fact, I passed up a sled for $4 because I already had so many – at a thrift shop! I wouldn’t pay $120 – just keep on searching and keep your fingers crossed.
Kelly
In love with everything! Those lit up letters are beautiful!
Your porch is so festive! I love that tartan jug and those vintage crates 🙂
Wow! Looks amazing – I especially love those stockings!!!
Your porch only shows us what other exciting and beautiful things lie inside. It is perfect Kelly!
That garland is gorgeous!!
Kelly,
Your home is always stunning… even more during the holidays! I am consistently amazed by your ability to style with eclectic panache!
Your porch looks beautiful, so festive and so welcoming!
Kelly! I love it. Your porch is so inviting. I’m on the hunt for ice skates next year and now you have me wanting to hunt a sled down as well. It could be a little tough here in the South. LOL
xoxo

Such lovely porch decor and the details are smashing!
Love the shovel… love the plaid… love it all!
Love it all! And we totally have the same metal stockings…loving the gold on yours!
Before you make your choice, it’s important to understand
how they differ. For example, download the Service Vehicle bundle and you get a wrecker, a taxi, an ambulance, a school bus, a fire engine
and a police car. The point being, for you dollar, you can purchase
a scooter that agrees with your wallet.
