Doors of Welcome!



Hi Everyone! I'm joining in with Karen at Some Days Are Diamonds. She is having Doors of Welcome. This is the first part in a three part series. Go check out all the participants on her sidebar. What a way to get inspiration for fall.


It has been raining so much around here till it has been hard to get pictures. This is at night, but I think you can see inspirations of fall. I still have a couple of my summer flowers blooming out front too. They are doing so good, I hated to move them.

See the betina on the pot. I bought those new, and the green has already begun to grow to make them look like they have been there for years.

Now who could be scared of the smile on this scarecrow?

Or this one?

A flag to let everyone know they are welcomed.

I spray painted white pots black to make these, but they were still a little small, so my DH made these stands for a little more presence. From the road you can't even tell.

This is a simple wreath that I put together with just some leaves. But I have to say it does look like fall. I'm thinking of painting my door black. Any suggestions?

Well, thats my Door of Welcome! I will probably add a couple more pumpkins and mums, but I still believe it says welcome everyone. Be sure and check out Some Days are Diamonds over at Karen's.

Happy Fall, Debbie

  1. A black door will look great! Love your decor. I also love to see the patina on a pot after it has been in the weather. That turquoise and green is just so beautiful together...naturally!

  4. This is all so pretty! I painted my black door red, but I really do love a black door! It looks elegant and wreaths just pop against it!

  5. Everything looks WONDERFUL! Your scarecrows are just too cute. And aren't husbands the best when they chip in to help out? Love the urns.
    We had a black door at our old house. (I loved it, but it did show the dust.) Maybe that was because we live in the city . . . I love the red too! Either way you can't go wrong.
    thanks for joining in!

  7. Hi Debbie. This is my first visit to your blog and I love your fallish decor. The red door is stunning. I am getting ready to paint our front door in a color called Posh Red. Hopefully, it'll look as good as yours. :) Have a wonderful day.

  13. A very inviting entryway! I like the urns with the leaves and pumplins, and love the wreath--very "autumnal" as I read on one of the blogs today(!)
