HOW TO CREATE A SIMPLE WINTERS PORCH USING RUSTIC TOUCHES FROM NATURE. IT'S A LOOK YOU CAN KEEP UP UNTIL SPRING THAW! Do you do any outdoor decorating for winter or Christmas? This year I tried to give the side porch entrance more of a winter vibe rather than a Christmas look. My plan behind that is to get a little more mileage out of the décor.
