Hello everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I've been decking the halls here at the Crossroads. What? You, too! Today I'm ready to show you our front porch Christmas decorations. So without further adieu, here's our ...
Vintage Camper Christmas Porch!
Yes, I've gone all vintage camper crazy ever since we purchased our mini motorhome this past June! For the past few summers, we have jokingly called our home "Camp Crossroads" whenever the grandgirls have come to stay with us. So our vintage camper Christmas porch has been dubbed the same name.
The feature of our Christmas front porch is this wooden vintage camper cutout. We had a piece of beadboard left over from our bathroom renovation this past fall that I saved because when we turned it sideways, the grooves reminded me of the metal siding on vintage campers.
Lucy, our dog, seems to love the camper.
I even caught her snoozing in front of it with her head on the little "rug" that I put in front of the door!
Ever since we got our motorhome, I have been collecting or people have been giving me camping related items. This sweet pillow was a birthday gift from a friend. My sister-in-law made the pom poms to adorn it.
After deciding to decorate the front porch with a camping theme, I knew I was going to hang these red lanterns that we used on our outdoor Christmas wreaths a few years ago.
Here are more of them on the other end of the porch where my plaid lampshade is.
And I made a matching pillow out of the same plaid fabric. These pom poms were also made by my sweet SIL. Are you as crazy about pom poms as I am?
Down on this end of the porch are also some vintage camper ornaments on the table. They are so adorable because they light up!
More vintage camper ornaments and a sign are hanging on the recently painted vintage wooden rack.
It has been more fun collecting these vintage camper ornaments this fall. They are everywhere!
On the table near the seating area is a Christmas tree with red lantern ornaments that I found at Walmart.
A black bear serves as a tree topper! He has on a stocking cap but you can't see all of it in the photo.
Santa has rolled into Camp Crossroads in his vintage car carrying a camper snow globe.
He's going to spend the night in his matching vintage camper!
And I couldn't resist putting this aqua and red Christmas pillow on my vintage camper Christmas porch!
Midway down the porch is the reproduction feather tree loaded with......vintage camper ornaments! Yes, I told you I went crazy!
At the top is a cute metal ornament. I know some of you don't like snow, but here in South Carolina we yearn for a white Christmas.
Another camper ornament hangs on the tree.
And look at this one!
I made a few of these round ornaments using gift tags with our names on them. A mason jar lid serves as a base.
The centerpiece on the table is a vintage lantern that we found here at the Crossroads when we moved in. I gave it a new coat of red paint and placed fairy lights inside.
I couldn't resist making more chair covers with the words "Camp Crossroads" painted on them.
On the table are red lantern paper plates and cups that I found to complete my camping theme. You can see how I painted the burlap chargers here: Painted Burlap Charger Plates
We actually use paper plates at Christmas when we have our large family gathering.
The old ladder that is in the corner got decorated with more red lanterns and a vintage camper under a cloche.
You can't see it in the photo but the camper lights up, too, and reflects on the Epsom salt snow.
I hope you've enjoyed seeing our vintage camper Christmas porch! I had so much fun putting it all together, and I can't wait until the grand girls see it in person.

What an amazing vintage camper front porch!! You have literally "tipped the scale" on this one. I so enjoyed seeing all of your ornaments, lanterns, and homemade items. Lucy is so lucky to be a member of your family. Have a very merry Christmas.

Oh sweet Jane - you and Leo have absolutely out done yourselves this year. There is so much love in all the details (the chair back covers!!!). The image of your sweet poochie resting with is head on the little rug - stole my heart. Thank you so much for sharing. Merry Christmas to you and Leo. xxoo
Jo
Camp Crossroads is delightful!
Linda Kelly
Jane, this is the most adorable thing ever. I wish you could get it published in Trailer Life magazine. We are also campers and have a few ornaments and some free standing campers that wind up. Our favorite ornament is, of course, in the shape of a camper and reads "RV There Yet?" Cracker Barrel usually has some cute camping related Christmas items. Merry Christmas to you, Leo, and Lucy.

Atta Girl Amy
Jane (and Leo), I've been waiting to see your porch since you first shared the photo of the vintage camper you made. I am in love! Swoon. Seriously, I love the theme and all the thoughtful touches. I am crushing on every single red lantern and vintage camper ornament. I want to spend my Christmas break at Camp Crossroads! Thanks so much for joining the Christmas Porch Tour again this year.
Sandy
This is adorable. You have outdone yourself.

Cecilia
Well if your camper porch isn't the the cutest, thing! Love all of your creative accents--pinned & tweeted!
Suzy Handgraaf
Oh, Jane - how cute! What a wonderful theme for Christmas. I think my favorites are the camper cutout that Leo made and the chair toppers that say Camp Crossroads. Great job!
AnnMarie
I am totally in love with your camper porch! Your collection of camper ornaments is so fabulous. I have the same camper that you have under your cloche. I bought a large apothecary jar this past fall and when I saw that camper I knew I had to make a Christmas scene with it. I also got the aqua camper and truck at Joann's and made a jar scene for my sister. I also have gone crazy for plaid and it has become my Christmas decorating theme this year.
Pam
Wow!!! I am just speechless. Camp Crossroads is adorable. And I LOVE the camper. Lucy has good taste!
Paula
Oh my goodness! I so much enjoyed touring your camper themed porch. You added so many adorable details. I know your guests will spend a lot of time out there admiring every single thing. My favorite is the camper you and Leo made from leftover bead board. That is so cute! I predict a lot of folks will want to pose for pictures beside it this holiday season.
