Restyling an Early Fall Premade Wreath

Hello to all my Fall lovin' Friends!!!

A few weeks ago my hubby took me to Hobby Lobby to look at Fall goodies. He was a trooper and trudged all over the store with me. I had it in my head to find a wreath for the front door during this early Fall season. I found a twiggy wreath and several floral items to use, but it was still going to cost a fortune. Even with 40% off, the total price of the individual pieces were starting to make me cringe. 

I started looking for options and realized that I could just use my gray wicker door basket, out front instead. I opted to go with a partially pre-made wreath base that I could add some other floral filler to, to come up with what I wanted. I loved the elements but it wasn't "full" enough for me.

So I grabbed a few other floral pieces that I could use to embellish the store wreath.

I wanted it to be covered overall and add sunflowers and hydrangeas.

I just used some green floral wire to attach the extra pieces. 

The end result is much more of what I was going for, 

so I decided I'd just use it in the house.

 It's hanging here on the Holiday Cupboard for now.

I also trimmed up a few stray leafy pieces that were hanging down.

I love the warm vibrant colors and it's not a heavy Fall feeling. We won't have a freeze here in SW Missouri till late October or early November, so using the sunflowers and black-eyed susans seemed like a good way to go for now.

I've changed up the wicker settee and coffee table since this,

so they're bringing in a few more fall vibes instead of "late summer".

I also have an early-fall/early-September restyle in the Holiday Cupboard.

I wasn't ready for pumpkins at that point, so it's a homage to late summer hydrangeas.

I'm so excited that the calendar is reading September now.

Hope you're having a great week, friends.
