Winter decorating can be a bit tricky… do you decorate for winter, or just put your house back to regular/normal decor? I usually do a bit of both so I thought I would share some of that with you. So today I am sharing my simple winter front porch
I don’t know about you but as much as I love Christmas decor, I love when you pack it all away and have that clean/uncluttered/simple clean slate. It just feels so fresh and simple after having out the Christmas decor. So when I cleaned all of my Christmas decor off my front porch I was left with just a blank clean slate.
I love to find Christmas decor that can transition to winter! And with the white/neutral decor Christmas trend right now that is much easier to do. This flocked green wreath was found last year at Walmart on clearance and I used it for Christmas inside and now can carry it into winter outside! I also moved the lanterns that I had on the step of the porch to right by the door. I love coming home to the timered battery operated candles on during these cold and dreary winter days.
When I was doing my after-Christmas clearance shopping at Kirklands, I found this adorable buffalo plaid front door mat (affiliate link) and had to bring it home! I think it will be cute to use all year long – paired with a yellow or pink wreath for spring and more…
The rest of the porch is just simple and clean – gray and white pillows on the black rocking chairs and my simple white stools in between them. The pillows are $5 outdoor pillows from the Mainstays line at Walmart – I picked these up 1/2 off at end of season last summer!
So there’s my simple winter front porch!
I have to admit I am looking forward to adding pots of flowers and ferns and all the pretty colors that spring will bring but until then I am enjoying this simple winter front porch.

I never quite know what to do for the winter months and by the time I figure it out, I’m so ready for spring that its time to take it all down. LOVE your snowman over the mantel. Maybe next year!
