A Buffalo Check Front Porch

The first thing to get decorated entirely for the holidays each year is the front porch for obvious reasons.... it needs to be done while the weather still holds out in Northeast Ohio and it's the first thing people see. With Buffalo check being so popular this year and this gorgeous ribbon I found I Sam's Club this year I was inspired to go all out in red!

My mom is the best bow maker ever so I of course recruited her to tie all these gorgeous bows. I pulled the old sled and skates from the back of my parents garage as well and picked up the throw from Five and Below this year.The package on the chair is actually a grape crate wrapped up. I took my normal leopard welcome mat and put a Dollar Store red welcome mat over it to add color. The wreath on the front door was made by myself several years back now but the cotton was added last year. The garlands and wreath on the railing is also reused from years before and simply updated with the new ribbon. The new red truck welcome flag came from JoAnn's this year.
