First of all, the front door wasn't intended to be this ugly egg yellow. I was going to grain paint over it. I thought the paint was mustard, but I used the wrong can !
I am getting the paints now but have not decided on the new colors. I haven't painted in ten years.
The wreath is made of old bed springs. I use about 15 per wreath. I only have this one that I kept. I reload it each season with whatever is available and suitable for
the celebration. One can make and sell at least a dozen wreaths from a set of old bed springs, which people practically give away. They sell as quickly as I can make them.
This year, the golden leaves came from Cedar Creek Antiques, which is a local shop. The painted gourd came from my friend Wanda, who deals only in primitives. The dark burlap on top
came from a shop about an hour away, which was called Remember When. The new burlap and colorful ribbons on the bottom came from my new friend Pat, who owns Home Farm Antiques in New York.
