Hi you guys if you’re following The Shabby Tree then you all know that I love lights and trees. I keep a bunch of different size trees on my porch throughout the year and decorate my porch as if it were another room in my home. I love to make my porch a comfortable and cozy place to sit and hangout. For this blog post I wanted to show you all how I decorated my front porch for the holidays so keep scrolling to check it out!
This is the wreath you always see hung on my front door and all I do is change out my chalkboard message for each occasion.
Around my front door I always keep greenery and twinkle lights and add decorations for each holiday.
I have been doing an angel theme on my front porch and knew I wanted to have these handmade wooden angels (I purchased these from a local crafter) somewhere on my porch. I placed them on top of a cabinet and added a small tree with lights and handmade ornaments. The ornamnets on this tree are the DIY handmade frame ornaments we made here at The Shabby Tree.
Here, on a different cabinet near the front door I placed our lampshade tree that we made here at The Shabby Tree. We also added a tree with the Dollar Tree snowflake candy dish ornaments.
Hanging on the porch are my DIY holiday hanging baskets that I change out for the seasons. For the holiday season I placed our DIY colander ornamnets inside.
For this angel I transformed our DIY pumpkin ghost girl we did for halloween into an angel.
For a statement piece I added our large DIY plastic hanger snowflake that we made here at The Shabby Tree.
I also placed lanters with battery operated candles throughout my porch. Here I have two lanters of different sizes and a crock filled with flocked greenery placed on my porch steps.
I also have grapevine snowflakes hanging from the ceiling.
I like to add handmade banners around my porch windows.
I hope you all enjoyed this short tour of how I decorate my porch for the holidays! I also hope that I’ve inspired you to keep at least some small decorations on your porch!

Love the shabby chic Christmas. Makes you feel welcomed. Barb, went to http://www.shabby tree .com, looking on how to make the cage part of the angel, but could not find. I am new to your site and quite happy that I came across one of your videos. I have the cage and old lace curtains and the white sheet just need instructions. Thank you in advance.
Love your angel!
Barb, I ❤️ your style of decor. It’s very unique and stylish in your own way. Like you tell us all the time you want us to be unique in our own way and add our own touches. I’m so glad I found you.
Merry Christmas Barb & family! That is the cutest Christmas Porch. I watched your video today of your kitchen. I really feel for you as I have been renovating since June. First it was just putting on hardy board, but then it turned out we had termite damage, so switched contractors and now we got original contractors back, finally finished outside excepte the front steps. Now to return some organization back to the inside, with boxes & furniture all over. Today I finally got to put up my tree and mantel. Trust me, the room still needs work and painting as does most every room. But I feel I have accomplished something. So don’t feel bad about work to do, it will get done one day. And the best is yet to come.
Looks Beautiful. You are such son amazing decorator!!
Love your front porch. Thank you so much for your inspiration I have done several of your crafts you make it so easy. Keep inspiring us and hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.
I wish I had a big front porch to decorate as beautiful as yours. Merry Christmas.

I love watching you and your front porch is beautiful. You have inspired me to keep many trees up and do my porches. I have trees on 2 front pitches, twinkle lights on my windows, and the tin flowers on my on my shutters. I have enjoyed your spirit and look forward to having coffee with you in the mornings. Thank you for sharing your love for crafts and healing our sprites. Good bless you, your family, and those that help you every day. Kellie Sue and your girls are sweet blessings.
