The rustic white bin holding the tree adds perfect character to the porch. Natural elements like this fresh greenery give off an old-fashioned Christmas vibe I love. The swag perfectly frames the porch. The string lights add a magical touch.

Shutters framing the front door and amazing hardware may not be part of Christmas decorations, but they can't go without being noticed.

I love the red and white pom garland on the tree. It reminds of red berries and goes perfect with the buffalo plaid.
