Simple, simple, simple. That is my decorating motto these days.
Life is just so busy with two kids and all of their activities, that I just don’t have the time I used to have to spend decorating for each season.
This spring, I found a cute metal bucket at Hobby Lobby that I have changed twice already to suit each season. The best part? It only takes me a few minutes and costs just a few dollars to update. You can see my spring version here and my summer version here.
I am in LOVE with this method of decorating my front door.
I re-use the same metal hanging bucket and two bunches of faux boxwood to serve as my base layer, and then I simply add a few bunches of seasonal faux flowers.
I don’t bother snipping each flower from the bunch, I just use the entire little bundle (the kind of flower bunch that costs about a dollar at craft stores) and poke them in to the boxwood and fluff until it looks just right.
It seriously takes me about five minutes to get the entire thing done!
And, friends, this update cost me $4.
My initial investment in the bucket (about $15) and the faux boxwood (about $12) was money well spent.
Bring on Fall!
Really cute. I love the colorfulness of it and the simplicity!!
I love everything about your decorating style. I too have been using a front door basket for the past couple years. I use red, pink or orange flower bouquets (from Hobby Lobby) to change through the seasons. So easy and great punch of color.
Very pretty Julie…Love the beautiful colors of the flowers…the container is so very versatile for every season…I need to get started on my Fall decor…
Hi Julie,
What a simple, cute idea! I, too, enjoy decorating for every season & will start decorating for fall today even though the temperature is still in the 90’s! I like your style & look forward to all your posts.

Hi Julie,
I really liked the spring and summer baskets, but I think the fall one might be my favorite! Looking forward to more fall posts.
