My door is black and I cut out a huge white snowflake from cardstock. It's very striking and you can see it from the street. I love it.

I change out my wreaths seasonally. Right now I have a grapevine wreath that features a cardinal and a few sprigs of pine and berries. I add a heart to it Feb. 1 - Feb. 14. It will be changed out to a spring wreath sometime in March.

I keep a seasonal wreath on my door. My Christmas wreath is not too Christmasy - it is pine with a few red berries, a few pine cones, some holly, and a red mesh ribbon. No Christmas ornaments, etc so it works until March when I usually put out my Spring wreath. In September, I put out a fall wreath which is not holiday oriented.

My front door is almost all glass (etched and decorative), so I decided not to use a wreath on it. But, since I like them, I put plain, grapevine wreaths on each window on the front of the house in the winter. For Valentine's, I use heart-shaped grapevine wreaths on each window (only 5 windows across the front).

Dining room windows:

My Christmas wreath is still on my door. I think it's time to take it down. I have a wreath that is made of twigs (not vines), so I may put that up. It's awfully dull, but better than nothing I suppose.

I have a wreath made from dried grasses that I use in the fall. I hang it from a Command hook. I swap it out for an evergreen wreath in Dec. After Epiphany both the wreath and the hook come down, and my door is plain again until September.

Nothing will fit between my front door and screen door. Bummer. Love the idea of grapevine wreaths on front windows!

Miz M- Thanks for the picture! I love the softening effect the grapevine wreaths have on your gorgeous windows. You have a beautiful house.

Dedtired- I love twig wreaths, and may have to get one.

My old star was just a bit different than the ones you see everywhere. I really liked it on the front of our house. I bought it at a really cheap discount place, should have bought them out so I'd have a cut-out star forever.

What is fresh and different (or at least really attractive) on a front door?

Thank you, sonicmom. :-)

Do today but didn't yesterday--each month it is something new. Now I have hearts and welcome wreath--just took down a Frosty Winter welcome....

arcy, do you have a photo of your Frosty winter welcome wreath?

Very pretty, Miz M!

I want to buy a few wreaths, but where do you store them out of season? I have minimal storage space.

My Christmas wreaths are still up, too. They don't have bows, so I usually keep them until March 1 when it really seems I should be thinking spring! Of course, the temperature hit 70 today and is expected to go to 74 tomorrow. If it stays warm, I will take them down-hmmm...just heard we may get snow Friday morning. This is just plain nuts. Guess the wreaths stay! ;)

Anele, I keep them in their original boxes and I've stored them in the top or back of a closet, in the garage or under the bed, depending on the storage of the particular house. Since I always have one wreath on the door, I can have one less box than the total number of wreaths.

I do have a Valentine wreath on our door....had a Christmas wreath before that, followed by a rather large faux wreath with olive branches and olives on it. Love that wreath, but it is a little large (deep) for our door.

I just got the glitzy red heart wreath at Joanne's, & it is pretty shiny & glitzy...not what I usually would choose, but thought it was fun against our black door & the price was so good. I generally gravitate towards a more organic look.

I keep mine in an accessory/storage closet on our lower level.

This is my wreath from the fall, which I put back up recently after taking down the Christmas wreath. I'll need to find a spring/summer wreath because this one has a definite fall/winter look. (This pic is from Oct. -- I do not currently have pumpkins out!)

I have a moss covered letter B hanging from a ribbon. I keep it out all year except change it out for a red wood curl wreath that stays up Christmas through Valentines.

Thank you, Anele! I keep them in a box in the attic, when not in use. :-)

I have been wanting to add something to my front door since we took down the holiday wreath. I am annoyed at myself for not ordering sooner, because they now appear sold out, bit I was thinking of switching to door chimes. They had a few that mood have been year round. All that is left now is the holly one.....

Thanks for the storage suggestions and photos! Lovely!

After xmas, I pull down the xmas wreath. I put up an all white flowered wreath (just one type of flower- I think they are are lillies. I can't remember off hand) on a grapevine wreath. I think of white as rebirth (I know could be death in some places). And, I especially like it for the lenten season and easter until I put up my spring wreath. I have a fall wreath, spring wreath, xmas, and this white one. BTW, my wreath is next to my door as we have this big empty space.

DH and I made this one for our front door. It's behind a full length glass door. I'll probably leave it until spring.

I made one of these "ruffled" burlap wreaths and have it on the front door right now.

I have a cinnamon broom on the front door. I thought it had lost its scent, but can smell it when entering the house. There is a silk flower fall wreath on back door. Discovered a wasp nest in that one!

I have a large half-basket on the wall to the left of the front door -- filled with pine cones right now ....

Boo(p)...what is the source of the hanging door bells? Love it!

Just a word of caution on the cinnamon brooms: Be sure if there's any oil used to scent the thing, it's not in direct contact with your door. I learned the hard way that the stuff can eat away at paint over time.

If you click the little link next to source under the picture it should take you to the page. LOVE Pinterest. :)

But I included it below too.

If anyone finds other chimes like this I would love to know. I think it would be nice to hear a pleasant sound upon entering the house in all 4 seasons :) Maybe I am deluding myself and my kids will always just remember the sound of our stupid alarm saying " front garage door", front patio door" Drives me nuts :)

SunnyCottage, thanks for the warning! I just put the broom up there until it gets burnt in the firepit come spring.

My Christmas wreath and garland just came down today, and in its place I put up a red heart wreath. It's a tad early for Valentine's Day, but it's unseasonably warm, the snow is melting and I'm heading off to a convention for a couple of days. It just seems right this year.
