a front door frame...for the fall

Friday, September 23, 2011

you'll soon realize i have an obsession for all things square. which is why i love the recent trend of putting frames on your front door instead of a regular wreath.
i found this sweet frame at a yardsale earlier in the summer.
eagerly awaiting his next charge

it is perfect. so much so, that I'm afraid to paint it. i love it so much, i don't want to alter it and make it just a one season decoration.
so.
i turned it into one of my old faithfuls. instead of painting it or permanently putting something on it, i had the idea to keep it "neutral." each holiday season, I make some sort of decoration to go on the frame temporarily (amazingly, masking tape works beautifully for this!) and then when the season is over, I have my cool frame back.

so for fall, i decided to keep it simple. a a few felt flowers, a ribbon, and a button (naturally).
super simple felt flowers...awesome jewely colors


put the two together and you've got yet another inexpensive, eye-catching decoration to put on your front door
pay not attention to the boring color door. all in due time, my friend...

or in your house...
if this were really going in my house, I'd pair it with a few other items...


and there you have it. can we talk about how much i love this time of year? i'm pratically giddy.


have a good day!
