FALL DOOR DECOR


The very first thing I do at the beginning of each season is hang a new wreath on StoneGable's front door. It's my way of welcoming the new season! 

This fall,  a basket and not a wreath will welcome Fall!

 I did pilfer a couple of old fall wreaths to make my new fall front door decor...




September is the time for autumn-kissed leaves... bursting berries and sunflowers... I'm not ready for pumpkins just yet! 




The last couple seasons past I was all about the softer side of Autumn... Lot's of white and very muted colors. To see my wreath from last year and a tutorial to make it click HERE.

Now, this year I want more color... more richness... more depth!  

I want a basket bursting with all of the glory of Fall!




I may do some basket tweaking in mid October... picking the sunflower and filling the basket with pumpkins.

White or orange... I haven't decided yet!




Autumn begins at my front door!

  2. I love your new Autumn door decor, Yvonne! It is just beautiful and rich-looking. I want to go back and see how you made your wreath from last year too. I am helping a Fall bride with her wedding and that looks perfect in those muted colors.

  10. Beautiful. Luv the big sunflower !! I too took a break from the wreath this season. I used a twig cone that I filled with vibrant leaves. Will be revealing that in an upcoming post on my blog . www.simplymedesignsbygee.blogspot.com

  26. It's beautiful, Yvonne. I love all of the rich colors. I really need to look for a door basket for myself. It would be a nice change to using a wreath all the time. Thanks for the inspiration!

  31. Beautiful basket, Yvonne! I love that you created it by recycling wreaths past. Oh, how I wish I could hang wreaths that wouldn't get smashed to smithereens by these crazy winds we get here!!! We don't have a portico (yet!), so there is no protection whatsoever.

  32. Love your new door decoration!! Beautiful.
