Our Little, Rustic Christmas Porch

I'll assume you recognize this same monogram you've seen over and over again...
well, I thought I might try to stretch it into just one more post. 


It's still on the same old grapevine wreath you see here...
and, I don't know, for the life of me, why I never put this together before...but thank goodness it dawned on me to add my own tree trimmings to it...and save a few bucks making my own fresh wreath this year. It literally took 5 minutes. (Why, on earth, hadn't anyone said anything to me about this before?? Because, I'm sure you've all been doing it for years, haven't you?)


Turns out it was just what I needed to go with the other additions...




But, don't let this rustic look fool you, because the inside is far from it...

      I'm telling you, they're a little hard to come by these days...the first ones I found for dirt cheap...but the last one I bought cost 8 bucks! :0
