Outdoor Decor...

Yes. My dirty little secret.

While the inside of my house was plumped for Fall, my front door was barren.

{And while I am not fond of the white screen door, it came with the house.}

I had a bad case of the buy-something-new-itis this week.

I really, really, really wanted to buy something new for the front door.

I looked around at a few shops and found a wreath that I quite liked, but it was $70.

With all the monies that just flew out of our house for school fees and sports fees, I could not justify $70 that was basically a want...not a need.

So I went shopping in my basement.

I found this wreath that I bought in 2001 for our new house in Nova Scotia.

It came from Wicker Emporium.....a store in the Maritimes that I love.

I decided to add a little orange to freshen it up.

So I took this flower pick I already had from Michaels...

and cut some pieces to add to the wreath with floral tape.

Here is the finished project:

{Cost: $0.00}

There you have it-an upcycled wreath for Fall.

I also switched out this summer-ready lantern from this:

To this:

And added it to the little bistro table beside the front door.

Next I will be adding some fresh pumpkins.

Canadian Thanksgiving is just 2 weeks away!

How are you decorating for Thanksgiving?
