      Those old tree loppers…just had to keep them in the scene because of their great green color! Thx for noticing, Tania!

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      I just say it’s Fake because it didn’t come with a cool old barn or outbuildings:( Thanks for your wonderful compliment, Christy!

  4. I love your vintage porch, Lora! You have such a great collection of things. And I’m totally jealous of your snow!!!

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Yes, the collection has grown over many years of buying and selling, Suzy!And snow does add that perfect cherry on top!Thank you!

  5. I am smitten with your porch, it’s right out of a Christmas movie! I especially love how you filled your urns and adorned your light standard, I’m going to have to borrow that!

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      I love decorating our outdoor spaces, Laurie; there’s no space limitations like there is inside!

  6. Lora, your porch is out of a Christmas story book! The vintage cooler with wood is so clever!! Then to see it all lit up! I am craving a snow storm here in Michigan… and now I am going to check my forcast lol! Thank you for a wonderful tour!

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Thanks, Julie! Will try to send a snowstorm your way;)

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      It was snowing beautifully that night, Katie. Just in time for the pics! Hasn’t happened since, either!

  7. Your porch is just magical! The white lights and snow is just beautiful.

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Aw, thanks Maryann!

  8. Lora,

    Your porch is so fun! And it looks perfect with all of the snow. That sign is such a great find. And your view from inside looks like something from a Christmas movie.

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Thanks, Angie! I love sitting inside reading with a cozy blanket when there’s a beautiful snowfall outside!

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Thanks, friend! I just love when we get these pretty snowfalls; so perfect for picture-taking!

  9. Seriously Lora, every one of your photos could be a holiday postcard! Your vintage farmhouse is absolutely breathtaking. Talk about a warm welcome for guests. Pinned

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Thanks, Marie! Now if I can just get the inside looking as cute! Slow going over here…

  10. Oh my golly! I love each and every photo. Are you sure you don’t live in a Hallmark town? So beautiful! Love your porch and everything you did. AAAAHHHHH!!! So charming!

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      You crack me up, girl! I wish my little town was as pretty as a Hallmark movie…and that me and the mister looked like those beautiful couples!!

  11. So beautiful Lora, and I love all of your vintage touches. I’m not a fan of snow but it does make your porch, and house look magical with all of your Christmas lights.

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Thanks, Kristi! Yes, snow is the perfect finishing decorative touch, indeed!And we love it here; makes cold winter’s bearable!

  12. Oh my heavens, that last picture of your home in the snow took my breath away! It just oozes charm and warmth. You have done a fantastic job decorating it to make it welcoming. I love the idea of using skates and other outdoor ‘toys’ to decorate! I need to look and see what I have laying about that I could use.

    Thanks for the inspiration!

    Hugs,

    Lynn

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Wonderful, Lynn! Hopefully that means my photography skills are improving! I was pretty damp when I came in from snapping those pics, but it was so quiet and beautiful out; wish I had a video of it!

  13. Marlene Stephenson says:

    Christmas is certainly at your house, at least on the porch, lots of lights. The lights look so pretty on the outside even in the snow, i just know your neighbors love your house at Christmas time, i know i would.

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Thanks, Marlene! My neighbor has gorgeous lights, so I think we both enjoy each other’s-win/win! And it’s looking a little like Santa’s workshop on the inside so far:(

  14. Great tips and ideas Lora. I often look for an old sled to put on the porch when I’m antiquing with friends. I haven’t found a good one yet but one of these days. I love your skates on the door and the snow-covered everything is so beautiful.

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Thanks, Patti!

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Thanks, Bliss!

  15. Oh my gosh!!! I love your house! How wonderful to look out your window at such a beautiful scene. And the outside, it looks like a picture postcard for the season. Good job!!!

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Thanks, Vikki! We do love the beautiful surroundings, and it is magical after a pretty snowfall:) Perfect picture-taking time!

  16. What a beautiful view you have of your stunning outdoor decor from inside your home! Wow…I could just sit there all day and stare at it. So very pretty!

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      It makes for a good place to sit and work on the laptop;) Think it’s our favorite spot in the house!

  17. Your house looks amazing lit up with Christmas lights surrounded by snow! I loved seeing your porch and your creative ideas for decorating it. I also enjoyed seeing your shots of the porch taken from inside of your home. Love it all!

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Thanks, Paula! Yes, I know you like those full view shots so you can picture the room;)
