About a month ago, I painted our front door which was desperately in the need of a coat of paint. It was another thing that I've been meaning to do since we bought the house almost five years ago.
So, let's take a look at the before....
Since then, I've gone back and forth between red and chocolate brown. I finally decided on chocolate brown because it was a little more neutral AND because I had some leftover from my bathroom cabinet re-do. Sorry red, but FREE won this time.

By the way, do you know how hard it is to find the perfect chocolate brown paint? I searched forever and finally found one at Lowe's. The color that I used was Phantom Mist by Valspar. Seriously, it is perfect.
Today, I finally got around to making a wreath for my beautiful chocolate door.
Here's a close up...
I already had some strips and circles of fabric cut out that was leftover from my
Veggie Steamer Wreath from a few months back, so I used this.
I wanted to make a quick wreath, so I used what was on hand and ready to go!
Want to take a guess on what the base of the wreath is?
An embroidery hoop! It was the perfect size and I had this on hand also!
I just took the strips of fabric and burlap and tied them around the hoop. That's it!
This make over was completly free since everything I needed I had on hand!
I love how it turned out!
