fall wreath

I'm always in search of the perfect wreath to grace my front door. Unfortunately, I never find exactly what I'm looking for or it so expensive I just can't justify it and the voice in my head keeps telling me I could make it - for a lot less. A fall wreath falls into that category. Last fall, I finally created my own and loved the results. It's pretty basic but has the simple, clean, sophisicated feel that I want. And it was as easy as finding products at the craft store and wiring them to grapevine wreath. I ended up with a look that fit my decor and for less than $10! Try it for your door this fall season!

monogram pumpkin

I love the look of monograms. Last year, I wanted to carve an artificial pumpkin with something that would would last longer than just the Halloween holiday. The result was this monogram R for my front steps. This font style definitely has a Halloween feel so this year I may try a more traditional font style. While I didn't necessarily love the look of the carved artificial pumpkin during the day (I still think real looks so much better), I love that it lasts forever and I can pull it out every fall season.

grass terra cotta pots

I love the look of grass especially for spring and summer decor. I would see pieces incorporating this element, but they were never exactly what I was looking for (especially because of the price.) Finding artificial grass (that I really like) also seems to be a challenge so I'm always on the look out. Luckily, I found this chunky bright green grass that I glued to a styrofoam ball and then glued into a terra cotta pot. I've also created the same project with a traditional wheat grass style of artificial grass which turned out great. I'm getting ready to put these away to put up fall and holiday decor, but I can't wait to bring them back out in the spring.
