As I was reading a couple of the comments on the Leo Cottage post last Sunday, I was inspired to write a post showing examples of a front porch flag. Some of you mentioned you enjoyed seeing the U.S. flag flying from the cottage’s porch. So here’s a few more that I think you’ll enjoy!
Is there anything more “Americana” than the iconic white porch above with its swing and flat with amber waves of grain in the background? Maybe apple pie and baseball. 🙂
While I like the look of a flag flying in front of a pretty home, the truth is, I don’t think you need to fly a flag to show your patriotism. In my humble opinion, true patriotism begins within our hearts and displaying the golden rule through our actions.
A two-story porch features two flags – one on either side of the entrance to the lower porch. Such a fine example of a southern style home!
Here’s a closer view of the porch with the stars and stripes on display.
Normally this image would make me think it’s Independence Day or Flag Day, but it looks like fall so I’m guessing it’s a patriotic neighborhood or some other type of celebration.
A wrap-around porch lets Old Glory hang straight down – one flag between each sets of columns all the way around the house.
A front porch flag doesn’t need to be relegated to a patriotic holiday, but one should make sure the flag isn’t frayed if displaying it year-round.
A variation on this theme shows a bit of red, white, and blue bunting on the front porch.
I’ll give a shout out to my Canadian friends with their country’s flag proudly displayed in the winter time.
Thanks to those of you who commented about the flag flying outside the porch of last Sunday’s home tour. You gave me the inspiration to feature more front porch flags!

Beautiful! We fly our Flag year round on a pole since we do not have a gorgeous porch to fly it from. Thank you for sharing these wonderful homes that fly our Flag (and the Canadian Flag) in style. BTW, the Flags flying in the Fall may have been for Veteran’s day.
Wonderful post! Perhaps it will inspire others to fly our flag year round. It reminds me of my Dad who proudly flew the and would put it out every morning and bring in every evening because he had no way to light it at night. Thank you for that memory this morning!
Thank you for your wonderful story. In western Washington displays of American flags are often frowned upon. I’ve had holes burned in our front porch flag however we will not be deterred. Thank you again
This is a wonderful post, Jennifer. We are so fortunate to have a classic and beautiful flag, as well, and I adore the buntings. Thank you, and have a great day.
we proudly fly our flag year round!
Inspiring post! Good for you to do so!
God, bless the United States of America. 🙏
Thank you so much, Jennifer!

A flag outside of a house seems so welcoming. A feel of family. Great post!
