The calendar says it’s fall………….
But, it’s 100 degrees outside and it’s a little difficult to feel the “frost on the pumpkin”,
but I’ll give it a try!
I decided to go with something different this year for my front door “wreaths”….
I found this inspiration from Shirley at Housepitality Designs! It was love at first sight!!
They’re really not wreaths at all…..
Rather, they are quilter’s hoops!
I purchased two oval quilter’s hoops, some white burlap, a wooden letter, a sharpie and flowers for adornment!
I cut my burlap into rectangles and traced around my wooden letter with a sharpie.
Then filled in the letter with a sharpie (I LOVE to color inside the lines!)
Once my letter was filled in, I positioned it on my quilter’s hoop, trimmed the burlap and hot glued it down on the back!
Next came the fun part……add flowers and pumpkins!
I decided to keep my colors rather muted for my early fall decorating! I always like to change things around for Thanksgiving at which time I’ll add some more burnt reds, rusts and oranges.
For now, I love the whites, creams and browns!!
It goes really well on my newly painted front door!
(Yes, I took the plunge and painted my double doors BLACK!)
LOVE them!!!
Next, I will tackle the heat and “fallify” the front porch!!!
I think it’s only supposed to reach 94 degrees today!!!
Until next time……..

ADORABLE!!! My porch always looks so lifeless by the end of summer and that’s why I love fall so much…the weather and fun decorating!

Having the same problem Angela… trying to get motivated in the North Central Florida heat is not easy. I have sprinkled a few arm loads of dried hydrangea around the home in baskets and urns and called it late summer
Luv the wreaths you have placed on the newly painted doors. Just luvly!!!
Angela I love this idea! I hear you on the 100 degree weather… I am so ready for cooler weather! I would love it if you came by and shared this at One More Time Events….https://www.onemoretimeevents.com/2013/09/warming-up-your-home-for-winter-and.html

WoW! I love this idea! It would be so easy to change out for the different seasons/holidays. Hope you don’t mind but I think I will borrow your idea.
That looks wonderful! I’ve always heard that it is so hard to decorate double doors but you’ve done it beautifully. Love the black too!
We can pretend it’s fall, right?
