Because I was doing the red for Lillie I went ahead and went for a fun look out on the porch this year. I used our red reindeer pillow and flanked it with two pillows that were on sale at Target. I covered my bolster pillows with some red ticking stripe fabric (I just rolled them and tied the ends so they would be easy to remove once Christmas is over) and added the blanket as well.
And here is the other side of the porch:
We’ve been working on some printed chalkboards to sell. Here is one we were practicing.
The proportions of the one we made looked better out there though:
We still have a few silent night signs left! They are on sale for just $7.95!
Also, for the first time we are offering our Silent Night, Holy Night sets in white ink!
I hope you all have a blessed Tuesday.
Girl – must have been a late night for you! I had a late meeting and when I get home from one, I always have to unwind a bit. I checked the blog, and these pics weren't yet on here, and I went to bed pretty late!! Beautiful as always!
The porch looks so pretty! So nice that you did this for Lillie! I used red in my family room for my kids this year and it is so nice and festive!
As always, just beautiful, cozy and warm. May I ask where you found the blanket, please?
Thanks! I got it at Target.
A Dear Lillie chalkboard!! YES! PLEASE!! I am madly in love with your chalkboards!!!
Oh, Jenni, everything looks so beautiful! Kudos to Lillie for requesting red–and to you for honoring her request! I know that's far out of your comfort zone, but it looks smashing. 🙂
Can't wait for you to sell chalkboards!!! Yippee!!!!!
Question for you – we also have a pretty large screened-in porch. Does yours not get wet when it rains? Just curious if you worry about anything ruining due to moisture?
So far we really haven't had any trouble with the rain and we've been here for about four and a half years. When we've had the hurricanes I have taken all of the pillows and bedding inside but other than that we really haven't had to do a whole lot to protect things.
Also, do you freehand your chalkboards? Any lettering tips or is that your own handwriting?
Yes, I do freehand my chalkboards. It's just my regular cursive and then I add some extra swirls and thicken some of the lines.
We have been enjoying our drummer boy pillow! 🙂
Amazing how you combine white and red and still it doesn't look a bit too colourful. I love white in our home but tried red this christmas. It just didnät work out at all..perhaps harmony is created with that green.. Love your blog!
Lovely – I want to come hang out on your porch for awhile!
Just beautiful…I love the Target pillows…they did not last long in my area….I think they were sold as soon as they hit the shelves!…I love them…your chalkboards always amaze me…they are stunning!!..such gorgeous script…
It turned out beautiful, I love the pops of red! My children asked for me to do more red next year, and I think I will. With just a little bit of red added to neutrals, things still look peaceful and yet cheerful and festive at the same time. I love it.
Merry Christmas!

The red accents here and there against the white is stunning! Your dough bowl filled with greens and apples look so much like Williamsburg! LOVE LOVE LOVE your pillows!
Your porch is absolutely beautiful! It's really nice to have that extra space and pretty it up for the season 🙂
Such a beautiful porch Jennifer. Luv all the red splashes of colour against the white 🙂
Cheers, Gee
Beautiful- as always!
What a beautiful porch!
Your porch is pretty & inviting, like the rest of your lovely home. I am GIDDY with anticipation of your chalkboards for sale!!
Beautiful! I love all of your decor, but especially at Christmas time. 🙂
I'm with Lillie, I LOVE the red!!!
Jennifer- this is JAW DROPPING! You are so talented!
This is absolutely beautiful and so very, very charming and inviting!
Okay…are you kidding? Your home is perfection. I feel like it's a living holiday post card or something. I thought my flowers were cute outside but damn, this is gorgeous!
are your chalkboards for sale?
Not right now, but hopefully this spring!
I have never been a big fan of red but I think this looks FABULOUS! I have a sneaking suspicion you are not a usual red fan either;)
