Florist I am not

I have never been known as a 'decorator'. My husband complains all the time about how we need a rug here or curtains here. blah blah blah. I dont even know where to start.  I mean my house is decorated but completely by some of my favorites (BFF & Momma). My momma on the other hand has a PhD in interior design. :)  It must have skipped a generation- Heck my Daddy has more decorating flair than I do!!  haha  I can get neat ideas from Pinterest or looking at other people's stuff but to have an original decorating idea of my own?? Isn't gonna happen.

I decided awhile back that my front door needed something besides the normal everyday wreath.  I painted the door a light yellow to match the small amount of siding that is on the gables.  So I needed something RED to match the brick.  I started with a copper bucket that Willow House had on sale for next to nothing.  I added my styrofoam and flowers and next thing you know a momma bird had made a nest in my bucket.  There is no way I could kick a momma and her babies out but when they left the nest- it was funky!!  See the bird poop on the leaves...ewwww!

So I threw out the old flowers and washed out the wasps nests and other random scariness that was left in the bucket.  I am all about the cheapy cheapy so I got my flowers from Dollar General and Walmart where I also got the foam.  I spent $3 on each of the flower bunches and $2.75 on the foam.  So all in all about $9.00 to spruce up the former bird/critter nest. 

I added the foam and then started stuffing in the flowers.  I had a hard time with the placement because as this post title reads I am NOT a florist :)

One side may still be a little off.  I am so not good at this stuff.

But I think for $9 it looks fine on the front door.  :^)
