Thrifty Door Decor Update

Pulling into the driveway this morning I was inspired by this…

So I yanked the fake daisies out of my door bucket (that I got free for hosting a Southern Living at HOME Party).

Searched for something to line the bucket…

The cheaper the better because they squish a little easier.

Grabbed a cutting instrument from the garage.

And voila – a fabulous new (and FREE) greeting for guests. It took me no more than 15 minutes to gather everything and pull this together. I only used three or four clippings because they were so long I could make them go further. I wasn’t too greedy. I also love that the yellow flowers match the pollen haze on the door – nice touch, eh?!

I’m going to have lots of fun with this door bucket. Please let me know if you get sick of it (or if you would like to have one of your own)!

Do you have a favorite item that you switch out on a regular basis?

    Love the freshness on display! I keep redecorating a wreath I bought long ago. I’m on at least the 3rd incarnation.
