Front Door Monogrammed Basket


Pin It


Hello, dear friends!
I love changing my front door decor according to the seasons. A welcoming bouquet of fresh or silk flowers on the door is a wonderful way to greet guests:


Sprucing up my front patio and making seasonal changes is so much fun:


Evergreens in urns flank the front door on either side:


Last week, I shared with you my burlap bag planter filled with green ferns that pairs beautifully with the potted geraniums in the metal plant stand:


A quiet place to sit and enjoy the beautiful days of summer:


I love the view of the dapple willow tree in my yard from this angle:


A view of the front door overlooking the white fence:


I painted the front door blue, and I love how well it complements the stone facade of the house:


The front patio at dusk:


I love sitting out here in the evenings with a glass of wine and watch the sunset:


The front door monogrammed hanging basket:


The moss covered letter in the basket center is a simple project. A wooden letter, some green moss, and a hot glue gun is all that is needed for this project:


Put some hot glue on the wooden letter surface and start attaching the moss to it. Work in small sections to prevent the glue from drying out.


I glued the moss covered letter to a scrap of burlap and attached it to the center of the basket:


Filled the basket with silk forsythia and yellow daisies for a splash of summer:



I trimmed the moss a little with scissors to smooth out the edges:


Attached a wire edged burlap bow to complete the look:


I really love how the monogrammed basket looks on my front door: perfect for summer:


My front patio as dusk gently descends in the valley:


A peek into my next post: My foyer as you enter from the front door:

    That is a nice alternative to the typical wreath. The moss monogram is the perfect touch.It looks great.

    I was transported back to the pages of fairy tales,where there is this pretty cottage in the midst of a wood.I am in love with your porch and the monogram "B" idea for a front door decor idea is just fabulous!

    Hi Poppy, you have such a welcoming porch area. The basket turned out so cute! I love anything with moss. Think I will be picking up a letter O and give it the moss treatment. Decorating my porch for the seasons is a fav of mine as well. I just bought a cute burlap bag to make an arrangement in. I went to Wal-mart looking for the one you showed last week. No luck here in UT. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
