I don't think that bringing the season into the house is all that difficult. In the world of interior design it seems that each seasons needs it own style or new "stuff". Really, for those of us that live in a world dictated by finances and space, the need to be creative takes the front seat. It is only logical.
For example, the wreath on the front door. I know, I have seen those beautiful dried hydrangea wreaths and I have also looked at the price tag and gasped. Most of us have a wreath from days gone by hanging in the garage, attic or in the box of Christmas decorations. All you really need it a can of spray paint. I had an old rose vine wreath that had shed leaves everywhere. But, I had paid a fortune for it originally (6 years ago) and I could not think about throwing it away. I needed to get one more season out of this beautiful piece before it went into the garbage. Enter Home Depot spray paint department. We were looking for a copper pipe to use for a pot rack in the kitchen and I passed through the spray paint aisle. Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of this beautiful red/orange color in the shiniest texture ever. On a whim I bought the paint and brought it home for the weath. It is perfect for fall. It will hang on the front door until Christmas and be embellished with seasonal decorations.
With a little spray paint and a lot of creativity fall can be hanging on our front door in an afternoon.

Very cheery! I think I will have to get out our holiday wreath and see if this idea would make it more versitile.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and it looks terrific! I have a Christmas wreath with a Red Hat theme, but no others hidden in storage. Good for a thrift shop rescue, too. Hugs, GraceinAZ
ReplyDeleteTake a look around to see if there are other elements that can be changed just a bit to reflect the season...window sill plants, baskets, simple frames with matting that would hold a seasonal print.
