Today it’s all about door decor!

I fell in love with the magnolia wreaths on Fixer Upper. I clicked over to the Joanna’s Magnolia Market store and added 2 of the wreaths to my cart (almost $100 each). But, there’s always a but…I just could not pull the trigger on them, you know how cheap I am. I shopped around and found a couple at a store in Athens, still more than I wanted to spend. I left the store empty handed and said I’d go back soon and purchase them. Never did.

While roaming around the craft mothership aka Hobby Lobby, I found these bunches of amazing magnolia leaves. They look very realistic. The first I do is look up to see if they’re on sale and they were! I love those 40% signs.

Our Decor Enthusiasts group is sharing ideas for door decor today, all the details are at the end of the post.

    2. I am not a “Fixer Upper” addict but I do tune in on occasion. I seem to have missed the magnolia wreaths but I must admit that your wreath looks as good as, if not better than, a very expensive one I purchased at an exclusive fabric and decor shop. Great job!!! I am also pleased to see you using magnolia wreaths for more than Christmas. I think I will do the same.
