In order to escape from reality, I often find myself in a dream world. Sometimes that is on facebook, sometimes on pinterest.
I have wanted to create a welcoming entryway into our home since we built our home. I love our front door. I also love wreaths. However I felt that a wreath takes away from the beauty of our door. I went on a mission to find a way to hang a wreath somewhere other than a door.
I found these to attach to the brick. Not exactly what I was looking for, though very cool.
Then I found these:
An idea was born. I decided rather than hang a welcome sign I could hang a wreath.
I was on a mission. I headed to Lowe's for supplies.
I looked at different posts, finials, moldings, boards, etc to build my own. Then I found these:
PERFECT! Very little construction needed. The end is meant to attach to a deck so there was a notch cut out of the bottom. I don't have a saw, but I do have a chainsaw. FUN! I just chopped off the bottom.
I then bought 3 of these in different sizes for the base.
I secured them all with a 6" screw. I added a small screw hook and a coat of paints and viola! Because I had to buy paint it cost me about $25. Had I not bought the quart of paint, this is a $20 project!
Now all I need is a wreath.
