This pandemic has us trying to extend the amount of time we spend outside, and with Christmas approaching, I really wanted our outdoor space to be festive. I don't usually decorate our back patio for the holidays, but this year it seemed like a great idea since it is covered and still usable for quite awhile longer.

Since I live on a horse farm in Kentucky, I felt it appropriate to go with an equestrian theme for this outdoor space. Now you can see where I put the "Jingle Bells" art and horse head wreath I made! I think the pieces look great layered together over the fireplace mantle.

Let's get to that mantle! I added oversized, rustic jingle bells and a horseshoe to a pre-lit garland from Home Depot. I love that the garland already had the plaid ribbons on it.

To play off that plaid, I also ordered this plaid rug by Nourison, also a Home Depot find.

On either side of the fireplace, I made some boxes from old barn wood to act as tree collars for my pre-lit, skinny trees. Some more plaid ribbon tied them together and kept the decoration sweet and simple.

Now with my festive outdoor patio area, I can have a couple of people over to sit outside and visit over a cup of coffee.

    You had me at equestrian! I was a horse girl growing up and your porch decor is right up my alley! I hope you can spend a lot of time on this beautifully decorated porch this Christmas season.

    Beautiful! You need to turn the horseshoe the other way like a U bc you have it so your luck runs out. That's what I've always heard.
