Add Warmth to Your Welcome

Now that I am a homeowner, I do my best to make people feel welcome when they visit. I feel first impressions are important and that’s why the entrance to your home is a good place to start adding a little warmth. Besides keeping a clean porch and adding some accessories or flowers, placing a wreath on your door is an easy way to say welcome. I have one for every season and enjoy switching them out as the weather changes.

There are all types of wreaths you can buy. Some can be really expensive so you want to think about how long you will have it. If its something you will use for years, then go ahead and spend the money, its worth it. But if its just for a holiday, then you might want to think twice. I recommend purchasing preserved wreathes because they last a long time, if taken care of, and are essentially real. There is nothing worse than having something hang on your door that looks like a plastic toy. I think that just says you really didn’t want to try.

Well, here are some beautiful wreaths to consider. They will be sure to send some inspiration your way on how to jazz up your entrance and welcome your guests in style. Enjoy!

I have mentioned how much I love Terrain in many posts, even featured them as shop of the month. Well, they also have a little jewelry shop which I wanted to share. Their featured designers all create beautiful peices which clearly show inspiration from the Earth. The shop has such a nice selection of various items, both jewelry and accessories. Here are a few of my favorites.

Fall Harvest Flavor at Terrain

Terrain is one of my favorite shops, even if its to browse around their website and look at the all the goodies they sell. Being a designer and a photographer, I truly appreciate the gorgeous images they showcase and the beautifully styled still life’s. I wanted to share some images I felt were perfect for fall and true representation of autumn harvest style.

These can inspire tons of decor ideas for weddings, parties and even holiday dinners. I included some color palettes as well. Enjoy!

Terrain is one of my favorite shops because they carry items that are unique, rustic and garden inspired. The natural vibe that carries through the products the sell and their designs is welcoming. Whenever I look around on their website I want to kick off my shoes and get comfortable. I’m sure if I visited the store in PA, I would fall in love all over again. It’s such a beautiful place to be and shop!
