Fall Doors

When someone approaches your home it’s the perfect opportunity to make your guests feel at home by having a festive front door.  Here are a few of my favorites.

This is a charming alternative to a fall wreath. Simply apply a layer of chalkboard paint to the inside of an old tray, then add autumn branches and bittersweet berries for a seasonal finish. Swap in evergreen and holly for the Christmas season.

 After installing a new front door at our newly remodeled home this year,  I was a little nervous  as to how how I was going to install a wreath.  In the past, I’ve had the traditional metal wreath holders which have “chewed” up the top of my door and the surrounding wood, so I wasn’t to interested in that option   I also didn’t want a nail hole (neither did my husband).  Then I thought of the  Command products and remembered I had successfully used them in the past.  I did some research and found that the Command hooks come in a few basic colors.  One choice was black, perfect for our black front door.  Our Command hook has now been up for several weeks and I’m thrilled with “non” look, it blends right into the door.

One of my favorites, personalize anything with your family monogram.  I might have to try this one next year.

This wreath is also a great example of contrasting colors.  If your door is a dark color go with a light colored wreath,  if you have a light colored door go with a dark wreath.  This will make your beautiful wreath visible from the street.

Wonderful pheasant feathers, gourds and grapevine wreaths make for the unexpected wreath.

As I’m sitting here recovering with this broken leg, I would love to see what your front door looks like.  If you get a chance send a picture over to me at the studio at ssutherlin@decoratingden.com.
