A Junky, Rustic Christmas/Winter Covered Patio
December 02, 2013
Today I am participating in a huge Christmas junkfest with 14 bloggers from Junkers United and the Twelve Days of Christmas Party. The project I have chosen to include in the party is my covered patio vignettes, between my front door and the attached garage.
After you have viewed my post, please continue down to the links to other party participants and the linky party! Happy Junking!
Starting at the far left of the patio, is a 1940's metal truck that I purchased this fall. It is filled with unbreakable Christmas ornaments and sits on top of my large Redwing crock table.
An enamelware pail joins the old truck on the table. The pail is filled with more spruce treetops and birch and dogwood branches. A red pallet sign rests on a picket fence shelf above. My pot lid snowman is hanging on the side garage door, you can click on my link to make one for yourself.
Continuing to the right around the covered patio, you will see one of my favorite junk garden chairs with a galvanized pail of more greenery, my old buggy wheel, a chippy blue bench, a wonderful red wooden box, a minnow pail, a metal star, and a rusty blue lantern with grubby snowballs.
A pair of old Victorian ice skates, my Noel sign, and another rusty lantern with grubby snowballs. The instructions for my sign are available at the link.
The front step has an old crate with another minnow pail insert.
I posted about this framed Christmas greenery in November. You can see how I put this arrangement together at the above link.
Here is my outdoor vignette in the evening.
Thanks for stopping by!

Carlene, I love your junky vignettes. They are beautiful. Your pallet sign gives me a great idea for something at the lake house (if we get to go before Christmas)! Thanks for the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteI should be out doing some porch decorating too before we really are dashing through the snow!
ReplyDeleteYour porch looks beautiful and so festive, Carlene! The front of my house has nothing but dead mums that need to be cut!
ReplyDeleteSuch a perfect array of items, all balanced perfectly!
ReplyDeleteYou've created the perfect outdoor welcome with all your creative uses of vintage finds, Carlene!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great mix of clever ideas and cool junk on your porch Carlene!! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to decorate an entryway! I love the truck filled with ornaments!
ReplyDeleteThanks for inspiring me today!
Merry Christmas!

If I were your neighbour, you may have noticed a few things missing from your front step. Because they'd be in front of mine! GORGEOUS gorgeous look for Christmas, Carlene! I'd be stuttering if I came to visit you in person.
ReplyDeleteLove your porch decor! This looks just perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful Carlene! If I lived closer I'd be stopping by for a hot chocolate (and perhaps a truck)! :)
ReplyDeleteEverything looks wonderful! I especially love that truck : )
ReplyDeleteEverything looks wonderful!! I use to put stuff out on my front porch until 2 years ago when some stole some things out of our front yard.
ReplyDeleteI always love your vignettes, but this one is particularly pretty! Love the light coming through those minnow buckets and that truck full of Christmas ornaments is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteCarlene I love what you have come up with again!!!

Love your decorating style- your porch/patio is so festive!
ReplyDeleteCarlene, love every little thing! The truck is fabulous and I love anything galvanized. The framed bucket is so creative and the dashing through the snow sign is so fun! Glad to be joining this fun party!
ReplyDeletehugs,
