March Door

Hello Friends!
I am SO glad to be back in time share a few of our St. Patrick's Day Decorations!

Our Front door got a much needed infusion of Green and Orange!
I am super pleased with how it turned out, even if I don't regularly decorate with these colors.
I make a HUGE exception this time of year!

I was inspired by Paisley Passions door decor

I love the wreath within a frame idea!
In fact I have that same frame she used.
But I wanted to go in a little bit different direction.

I went to Hobby Lobby and in the clearance isle I found a little gem!
Sorry, I didn't take photos of it before I crafted it all together.
But I am sure it was in the clearance area because it was inadvertently distressed after its staining.
But this worked REALLY well for what I wanted.

So, I took some foam core board and cut out a circle ring and added my flowers on about a third of the ring
Then I wrapped lots of different green and orange ribbons around the rest of it.
Then I hung it inside the frame. 

Here is the final product!


And one inside, without the glare...


So, here is the question I ask you all:
 
Does this frame need to be white-washed  and distressed?
Or Maybe sheer white added?
Antique white or cream?
What would you do?

Have you visited my Linky-Party Directory?
I like to link my projects up on all the places there!
If your linky party is not listed because I have not linked there, or maybe don't know about it

  1. I really like it :) How adorable with all the flowers! I would def get some white on that bad boy! I like wood and all but the white distressed look would look fab! I am a Heirloom Satin White kinda girl myself but I am sure you will find the perfect shade!

  2. That's tough. Where you have it the frame is perfecto. But it would also look amazing white washed. Either way I can't tell you how much I love the greens and oranges!

  4. I think I am going against the masses here and saying to leave it alone. I like the wood with the colors in the wreath. Either way....great job!!

  10. I love the flowers, I grabbed a few stems of those at Walmart and then priced checked them---they were $13 a piece, needless to say they went back into the bin!
