Ok y'all, I've been almost giddy with excitement to show you what I came up with for the porch this year, so I'm skipping ahead from the inside decor to the outside. I had so much fun rearranging things that were already out there for the Fall display and adding a few "new" things to make it Christmasy.
Normally, the red barnwood style bench sits under this main living room window, but I decided to move it elsewhere for the time being.
I truly have a love for reusing/repurposing 2nd hand items. The only two things on this entire porch that weren't thrifted or discovered treasures at yard sales are the little red truck from Hobby Lobby (though I did buy it last year during a 50% off sale) and the large glass jar which my mom gave me.
I love that the red plate says truck and ties in so cutely with the little vintage style toy truck.
The faux berries are also from Hobby Lobby, bought last year on after Christmas clearance for cheap!
In the corner on the other side of the porch I made this display with part of my collection of soda crates.
Again, the tree, the galvanized buckets, and all of the crates are either from thrift stores or yard sales. I love it I tell ya!!
I tucked some more of the faux berries into the tree and wrapped a little bit of gingham ribbon around it as garland. Even the ribbon is re-used! It's the same one I used for the pennant banner at the vintage inspired ice cream social a few months ago.
I love my crates! I actually have two more, a RC Cola one that's in use in the kitchen, and a Pepsi one that I just bought over the weekend.
So there's my take on using second hand "junk" as Christmas decor. I've always loved repurposing things, even as a kid I can remember liking the idea of it, but now it's become a really fun passion of mine.
I hope you enjoyed the little tour. Check back again later in the week, I still have more to share.
If you'd like to see more of my "junky" farmhouse Christmas style you can see a repurposed toolbox centerpiece {here} a Christmas "mantel" {here}, and a rustic crate side table display {here}.
so,so CUTE!
ReplyDeletejust LOVE what you have done for your porch decor.
Thanks for letting us take a peek.

Your displays are perfect. Makes me wish even more for roofs over my decks. Stuff gets too ruined on a deck. Love the crates as well. Going to keep my eyes peeled for some myself :)

ReplyDeleteWell, Stephanie--it's all your fault I didn't get accomplisehed this evening what I intended ;) cause I spent the last hour on your adorable blog; taking in all the wonderful ideas, homemaking decor, flea market and yard sale goodies--I had two cups of Earl Grey tea and enjoyed every minute of it! Your porch is so sweet; how do you come up with such wonderful ideas! Many blessings and thanks for being so inspirational! Patty

ReplyDeleteWho knew old license plates could make such wonderful Christmas accents?! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI love it all Stephanie! I have been pricing those little antique trucks dreaming of what I could do with them. They are so expensive. What a great option, I will have to check out HL. The crates were a neat idea too.
ReplyDeleteI love your porch display! I really like the burlap and the berries in the big jar. Thanks for the idea! Jean

ReplyDeletepain control or algiatry, is a branch of medicine employing an interdisciplinary approach for easing the suffering and improving the quality of life of those living with chronic pain. The typical pain management team includes medical practitioners, pharmacists, clinical psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, physician assistants, nurses. The team may also include other mental health specialists and massage therapists. Pain sometimes resolves promptly once the underlying trauma or pathology has healed, and is treated by one practitioner, with drugs such as analgesics and (occasionally) anxiolytics.
ReplyDeleteMedicine treats injuries and diseases to support and speed healing, and it treats distressing symptoms such as pain to relieve suffering during treatment, healing, and dying. When a painful injury or pathology is resistant to treatment and persists, when pain persists after the injury or pathology has healed, and when medical science cannot identify the cause of pain, the task of medicine is to relieve suffering.
