What's on your front door?

[Peacock]

the post about wreaths got me thinking. What's on your front door? Do you decorate in some way, or just leave it plain? And if you do decorate, what sorts of things do you like and do you change it at all for different seasons or holidays?

we just hang a wreath up at Christmas, but I'm thinking I'd like to do more after we move into our new house.

At this moment.

A Command hook. I should really dig out my patriotic themed tin sign.

In the fall I do corn. Pine wreath at Christmas. I used to do more themed stuff when DS was little. Not so much these days.

[TBM]

Nothing.


I dont usually put wreaths up anytime other than Christmas, (and I don't always do that), but last year I put one up for Halloween night...only because it was Jack Skellington. ; p


Another reason is that I haven't seen any wreaths that fit with my style or with my house. We have a kind of interesting door that I think looks better without adornment. Or maybe it is just me....in the past I was more apt to put a Christmas garland around the door than a wreath on it.

Leave it alone. It's not really a done thing in London, though some people do wreathes for Christmas.

[treedimensional]

Usually nothing. Everything left outside for longer than a few weeks becomes spider condos.

Cracks from weathering.   Oh you mean decorative.. um. Nothing. 

[house]

Oh speaking of which.. this reminds me, MIL got us a white "welcome" door decal last christmas.. I am terrified it's gonna look cheesy so haven't put it up.

For Christmas I put up a wreath, I'm still deciding what to do between the holidays and spring, for spring and summer I have a wreath and in the fall I have a metal leaf sculpture I hang.

ETA: leaves for fall

I have a spring wreath and a fall wreath that I rotate. I would like to eventually have one for each season. Right now my spring one is out.  Hmm, maybe I should ditch the indoor wreath idea for now and focus on acquiring a summer wreath first.

[downtoearth]

Nothing on ours either. We have a hook to the left of the door that can hold a wreath for Christmas, but it usually holds a willow peace symbol.

Nothing. Part of me wants to get the Smith & Hawken lavender wreath but....

At Christmas I hang a pine wreath.

[rooster222]

I have a grapevine wreath that I made , similar to this...

I always have something on my door, it's too plain without. Our friends have an oversized initial on their front door and it's really cute.

[devonpow]

We have a door knocker, the house numbers , and a mail slot on the door. That's enough, lol

[adhdfashion]

Nothing. I am thinking about getting a sign that's says: Life is more fun at the Lake. For the summer season.

Nothing. We also don't even really use our front door except to go out and get the mail or packages.

[caddywompus]

Nothing

I have a jute wrapped S on our door. I make my own wreaths so they get switched out about once a month.

I am glad to see that I am not the only person who has a bare door. I didn't really know that wreaths were such a popular thing, other than during the country craft thing in the 80s/90s, until I saw thm all over the internet.

A lot of my neighbors here in FL have them, but I only knew a couple of people who had anything on their door other than at Christmas when we lived in CA. Growing up in AZ a zillion years ago, wreaths were for Christmas, and other than that the only thing that you might see on a door was a chile ristra...also more common at Christmas.

You know, I never really thought about it, but I guess growing up and in past locations that I've lived we've/I've only done wreaths/door decor for Christmas. However, now that I'm in a condo/townhome and can't really 'landscape' my front area so my door is the only way I can personalize the front of my home.

[sweetcheeks]

This is my current wreath. I'm stuck with the ugly yellow door due to my HOA, so need something to add interest to the front of the house. The black "Welcome" is a vinyl decal.

[sweetcheeks]

And this is my fall wreath:

[melew]

Currently, a thin layer of pollen. I will usually do a fall wreath and purchase a fresh pine wreath at Christmas. It's the least I can do since we have a fake tree.

[mmp]

A grapevine wreath with a burlap bow and a starfish.
In the winter I cut branches off an arborvitae, gather them in a bundle, and throw a bow and ornament on them.

[lavender444]

I made a burlap wreath like the one in the link. I change out the flowers/ribbons I put on it based off the seasons/holidays. . Right now I have some white, red and gray burlap flowers from Michaels in there with a white wood initial of our last name. I hot glue clips to the back so they can be switched easily.

In hindsight, I should have just bought this one. My wreath is a DIY project, but I think I spent more on supplies that the $20 one. Burlap rinbon is surprisingly pricy. my wreath had taken 4 spools and it's still a bit thin, and could use one more. www.etsy.com/listing/223516224/plain-burlap-wreath?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=burlap%20wreath&ref=sr_gallery_33

A burlap wreath. I lucked out and found a DIY one that someone did at Goodwill for $3. I took off the ugly Halloween ribbon they put on it and added a nice sage ribbon with some fake Hydrangea and a letter for our last name that I got at the dollar bin at Target. So, for about $6 I have a really pretty wreath. I love it.
