Oh boy!  The after-Christmas, pre-Spring declutter urge is kicking in.  Big time.  To the point that I’m overwhelmed! Not knowing what else to do, I started at the top.  Well, the front.  The front door!

A welcoming front entry really isn’t hard—a wreath, a rug, a plant.  Boom.  You’re done.  So here are the 6 quick steps I took to help my front door make a great first impression:

1.  Knock down the cobwebs and sweep away the leaves.

2.  Find a great new door mat.  Around 12 bucks at the local Target.  Done!

3.  Numbers.  I love them.  I found mine here.

4.  Plants!  I moved my lemon tree up on the step and refreshed my hanging basket.

5.  A wreath.  Easy, right?  Um, not so much…it is winter in Louisiana (which means that it’s really not cold, and it’s also Mardi Gras and Valentines too!)  What’s a girl to do?

 

 

I’ll admit, I still haven’t decided on a wreath.  Instead, our front door is sporting a big, bight turquoise B! 

6.  Add a bit of personality!  (Read:  Saints flag! And garden gnomes!)

So…what wreath is gracing your door right now?
