She has an old country farmhouse that looks wonderful every season of the year. (Joni, you're a good role model.) Her outdoor Christmas decorating ideas are traditional, charming and easy-to-do! Joni's Outside Christmas Decorations![]() Joni's country farmhouseJoni decorates her porch with evergreen roping, evergreen wreaths, traditional red velvet bows, old-fashioned Christmas lights, vintage sleds and vintage skates.She picks them up at garage sales during the hot summer months - when Christmas is far from most people's thoughts. She tucks them away in the barn until the air turns cold and snowflakes start to fly. Joni says: "After Christmas when the lights and the roping come down, around mid-January, I leave the wreaths with the red bows on until after Valentines' Day. It just seems to make the porch seem so empty, bare and naked when ALL of the Christmas cheer is removed at once! So it's a gradual removal for me!" Joni goes on to say: "Snow is the perfect accent to all the decorating for Christmas as you can tell in these photos. It's pretty on its own, but BEAUTIFUL with the help of Mother Nature who sprinkles in a most artful way with glitter and fluff!" Now Enjoy Joni's Outside Christmas Decorations![]() ![]() Fresh greenery, Christmas bulbs, wreaths and red bowsMore about Joni's Outside Christmas DecorationsJoni: "For Christmas, I splurge and buy the real greenery and wreaths; but for years I used the reusable evergreen roping and wreaths. The big red bows set either the artificial or the real thing off so well."The sleds and skates were gathered for a song. I didn't pay more than $10 for any of the sleds! And in the hot summer, there's not a lot of people grabbing for sleds so they're easy to get. "Always look in the boxes under the tables for skates: most pairs thrown here over the sleds as decorations were $1 a pair! They make the vintage sleds look so sweet! "Hung on a nail for the rest of the year, the sleds and skates are out of the way and ready to go again in the late fall." ![]() Very pretty decorating using traditional, seasonal items![]() Do you see the little bird?![]() ![]() Simply beautiful!![]() All is calm. All is bright.
