I'm having no luck finding a decent heart front door wreath for Valentines day. Wondering what everyone else does...

Does this mean I have to take the garlands off my porch columns (already took down the lights, etc.) and the snowman sign out of my yard LOL?

Thanks for commenting, punk, sorie, kathleen, marlene & purplemoon ... punk..blizzards are over & "sunshine" just makes all the diff in the world! Very cold yet tho...but do-able! I'd love to visit your home...from what you share, it's just downright SWEET! sorie ... that print is by Robert Duncan called "April Storm" ... by his signature it says 1980 ...but I bought this print at an frame shop & had it framed 7 or 8 yrs ago...it is one of my favs! kathleen...no, the tree I bought on an after Christmas small town shopping trip...at a specialty store...they had used it in their display decor...& had it for sale...I was in heaven! I'd been wanting one for some yrs since I saw the grapevine handmade ones at a craftshow that sold for lots of $$$. It would be fun to try to make a "small" one. PM...hey, next mo (March 20th) is first day of Spring...so maybe you can decorate for that! You'll be bringing out all those beautiful bunnies!! You've got alot going on right now, woman! Thanks, gals! Jeanne S.

Can you show me your stained knotty alder front doors, please?

olliesmom - thanks! I like the MW English Chestnut also, and we're using that to stain our wood floors. Since I wanted the doors to be darker, I used a custom mix of MW English Chestnut (1 part) and MW Dark Walnut (5 parts). To test the custom mix, I bought the small cans of each stain and a piece of knotty alder (cut into several sample pieces). Using a plastic spoon and paper cups, I made several stain mixes, starting with one part each and working my way up to the 5 parts of Dark Walnut to 1 part English Chestnut. Then I tried each mix out on the pieces of wood to see which I liked better. Once I found the right mix, we bought the larger quart sizes to stain the doors. After staining, we used several coats of a sealant (with UV protection) in a satin finish.

At least you have snow! The little we had, was melted the moment it hit the ground. LOL I'm not even concerned about landscaping. If I can just get the cement poured and the brick steps and front complete, that will add so much to the house. Heck, I'm not above putting in some fakes temporarily. LOL

Sorry to hear that! My Torenia seem to be doing pretty good, but now that it's suddenly in the mid-90s I really have to make sure to keep them watered, especially those in the strong south winds. I nearly lost 3 plants in one day last week when it was so windy outside and I had forgotten about this particular patch Torenias! Zinnia's are a breeze to grow. But you have to deadhead each of the fowers once they start looking haggard. My new friend Zinnia Man would be proud of me. LOL If you keep Z's deadheaded they will put out new flowers and get bushy. And keep them watered if it's hot there. They thrive on FULL sun. I've been growing them for 3 years now and they really are easy. If the impatiens are in the ground they will just sit there until it gets warmer. The one's in pots grow faster but also need more fertilizing. There's a great Annuals Forum here on GW. There's a new Snapdragon topic there! Here is a link that might be useful: Annuals

Pwoplw decorate their doors for Valentines Day?? Really??? I decorate mine for the season so currently, my wreath is still up as is my garland on the porch. Lights have been turned off but it's too cold and icy to take them down. That will have to wait unti March Break when the spring decor will make it's way out of hiding.

Since we are still in the throes of winter, I continue to have my mixed greens wreath up.

I really don't decorate for Valentine's Day anyway....

There are some really cute heart wreaths in our neighborhood. I still have my Xmas decor up, but wait until the end of January to remove it (I have wreaths with bows on door and windows). I leave my pine boughs in my planter boxes and urns, remove my window wreaths, but change out my door wreath.

Metromom, your door decor is adorable.

I wonder if door decor for Valentine's is a regional or local thing. I don't think I've ever seen one door or outdoor decoration for Valentine's ever here.
