I was wanting a greenery wreath for my front door so I could just add flowers to it for the changing seasons. I wasn't able to find anything that I liked at the local stores so I was looking in a catalog and found one that looked like it would be perfect. It looked nice and full in the picture so I ordered it. Well needless to say that when it arrived and I took it out of the box I was a little disappointed. It did not look as full as it did in the picture. Since I didn't want to return it I decided to "beef it up".
The before wreath is on the left and the after on the right.
Here is a full door shot of the before wreath.
Now the after shot.
This looks much better on my door. It fills up the space much better now. All I did was add more greenery that I already had. Of course I know that most people don't have as much as I do. I used greenery every where in my home plus I have lots of extra in bags and boxes. My hubby calls me the Queen of Greenery.
So now I just had to add some tulips since it sure has been feeling like Spring here lately. I even see some bulbs coming out of the ground.
Looks much better with some flowers on it. Now if I can just get the porch cleaned up so I can try and get it decorated.

Looks SO much better after you got your hands on it! And the addition of the tulips makes it perfect for spring.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I was disappointed when it arrived but luckily I have extra greenery on hand.
DeleteJody, oh my goodness, your wreath is beautiful now! I love the size of it and tulips couldn't be any prettier.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stacey. It fits much better on my door now. All I did was tuck in the tulips here and there. It will be easy to change out the flowers when I feel like it. Have a wonderful week!
