The holidays are upon us! I can hardly believe that it's time to roll out the seasonal decorations. Christmas is such a special time of year, and decorating for it is so exciting, but y'all . . . the pinch of budgeting is real!
So, I decided this year that I would try to help YOU DIY some beautiful (but expensive) holiday items for your home for LESS! Specifically: Anthropologie and Pottery Barn high-end Christmas dupes.
We will be making these high-end Christmas dupes with items from Dollar Tree, Hobby Lobby, and Walmart.

Shop my top picks for your end-of-summer porch below!
I hope y'all are having safe, happy, design-filled summers! I’m just over here falling in love all over again with the Texas heat and sunflowers. BUT, since as you all know I love to stay busy, I’ve also been brainstorming for the new farmhouse. It has a wraparound porch that I can’t wait to decorate.
With that in mind, I thought it would be fun to share some new ideas for lighting and porch décor. It’s never too late to refresh your porch in time for some beautiful August nights as summer winds to a close. Below, see (and shop) my top picks!
The front door is the most welcoming part of the porch. It greets visitors with a warm hello and invites them into the home. I hope that the following front doors will inspire you as much as they inspire me!
Rustica Hardware—Boat House Double Front Door

Simpson Door Company—Exterior French & Sash Doors

Ruscan Doors—Custom Fiberglass Entry Door

Bright lights present a welcoming glow to visitors who step up to your porch on a summer night. One of my favorite things to do on a summer night is sit on the porch under the lights with my family and watch the sunset. There’s nothing more beautiful!
Steel Lighting Co.—Gardena Upward Sloping Light Fixture
See them in action . . .
1Stop Lighting—Progress Lighting Gibbes Street Outdoor Light
See them in action . . .
There’s nothing like sitting on a comfy porch swing during a lazy August afternoon, sharing a seat with a good book, a pet, or your favorite person! These swings look durable, comfortable, and stylish—a 10/10 to me.
The Porch Swing Company—Breezy Acres Malvern Porch Swing Bed
See it in action . . .
Better Homes & Gardens—Delahey Outdoor Porch Swing
See it in action . . .
Hopefully these fun end-of-summer picks brought you a little bit of joy or inspiration . . .
Which product was your favorite? What's the first thing you change on your porch—furniture, lighting, paint, or something completely different? What are you looking forward to updating on your FALL porch?

Thanks for reading, and as always, be a light & shine bright!
