{ Country Ski Lodge Porch }

 Happy Thursday & almost Friday!! Marks headed to the cottage with my dad for some winterizing & I have almost all my chores done ha, so that can only mean one thing....Girls night OUT ha! Before things get to crazy { I kid } I wanted to share our Festive Winter Christmas Porch! You see when the weather is warm, like today here in Michigan we take advantage of it!!! I was outside quite a bit today cleaning & decorating while it was 62 & sunny! This is one of my most favorite areas to decorate at our little red brick cottage...I must say between last year's & this year's it's a close tie!! Come see this year's cozy porch look....


 

I haven't always liked this porch...there I said it ha! But after redoing the stting area with rustic wood planks, cleaning the brick & freshening the white paint up I actually adore it now!!



The whole inspiration for this year's Christmas porch was this awesome vintage ski patrol replica sign! It's greatly done , simple & not overly festive...Considering we do have an 8ft tree & 52 inch wreath in the space as well!!


The simple color pallet, overload of Christmas greenery & minimal vintage ski lodge type of decor complete this space!


The "star" of the show is this handmade ski pillow in canvas!




The sled is vintage & I painted it white...but when I pulled it out this year, something amazing happened! I noticed a red chippy patina on it!! It's the original red paint popping through...just perfect for this year's display!


I couldn't be more pleased at how this all came together! It's simple, vintage & festive! What are you using on your porch this year? Are you a skier??

CHEERS TO Friday!
