This is my attempt on a budget, well pretty much nothing, to make my door look fallish. Mom gave me the pumpkins, the grapevine wreaths were $5 each and the ribbon was $5. I had no idea how much wreaths cost when you buy them all put together, and my door will always be double because of the two doors. I like natural better anyway, and I am determined to make it look good without spending a fortune. I was planning on sticking things in the wreaths to add color, but all the fake stuff was just too much (if I were to get enough to even make it look good). So I'm thinking as the leaves really begin to turn colors, I will stick them in there. Any suggestions??

I think it's beautiful!!
that looks great! honestly, your front doors are so gorgeous they can stand alone! :) happy fall!! hope you're feeling well.
You know that I think your doors look great. Really! I have a question. Is that Ellie peeking through the doors, or is it your reflection, taking the picture? It could pass for either one of you. :-)
I LOVE the simplicity!!!
Ann,
The wreaths and ribbons look great!!! Good job!

Hi!
I don't know you--I found your blog through the Boney's--but I saw your post on coupon clipping and saving money and i wanted to give you the website www.moneysavingmom.com
You might have heard of it, but she talks a lot about couponing, especially drugstores--like CVS. It has really helped our family with our budget so i thought I would pass it on!!
Your family is precious!

Ann, I haven't talked with you in forever! I found your Blog off Heidi Moore's. I too think your doors are beautiful. Hobby Lobby is having half off on Fall Decor if you want to add more. One fall garland cut into pieces can go a LONG way! Plus if you sign up for e-mail you get 40% off coupons alomst weekly.

Ann, I like your wreaths, too. I think you are right that too much more on them would be too much since there are two of them. If anything, you could add a mum on each side of the door, or if you have some pots already, you could put the pumpkins in the pots. I did that one year, and stacked one pumpkin on top of the other and it looked really good. I had a hard time keeping the pumpkins from falling, but I found out this year that they have pumpkins that are actually made for stacking! That would help! Anyway, love the doors whether they have wreaths or not!
Wow are you kidding! That has got to be one of the prettiest front doors ever! I love the fall wreaths too! So cottage living!
Thanks for all the great suggestions!! I have gotten kind of lazy with it now. If I make any changes though, I will post!
