Festive flair - part 1

The Mr. and I kept very busy this weekend, mostly with a lot of fun stuff, but also adding some holiday flair to our house! Part one is the swag I made for our door - check in tomorrow for Part 2, the tree!

This year, I decided I didn't want to reuse the grapevine wreath I made last year, but I did want to keep the organic feel. I bought a big bundle of mixed evergreen and cedar branches:

On a whim, I bought a collection of gold ornaments from Ikea a couple of weeks ago (figuring I would be able to use them somewhere!):

I laid everything out, and played around with a number of different combinations:

(the intention was to do this outside...and while it was sunny it wasn't as cozy as the kitchen floor...)

Add some ornaments and a wreath hanger, and voila:

In terms of cost, the massive bunch of greens I found at Superstore for $7.99, and the ornaments were $3.99 at Ikea. The wreath hanger and ribbon I had on hand. Total cost for this project - approximately $12 (and I have enough greenery left to do a festive planter for the porch!).
