Market Basket Wreaths For Summer

When you think about it, your front door and front porch is like the first impression of your home. So when it comes to your front door, I’m a firm believer that it is not complete without some sort of wreath. I’ve made a lot of different wreaths for the changing seasons over the years, and I’ve loved getting to use it as an opportunity to get creative and put forth a great first impression for everyone who finds themselves walking to our front door. I like to use my wreath as like a sneak peek for the style you’re going to find when you come inside.

Last year, I kept it simple with a DIY magnolia wreath that I absolutely loved. (You can read the tutorial in this post.) I actually planned on making another DIY magnolia wreath again this year until I saw a really cute idea on Pinterest where someone hung a straw bag with flowers on the door as a wreath.  I went to Walmart and snagged some faux tulips and hydrangeas, and I stuffed them in a straw Ikea tote that I got when we were shopping for the nursery. But this is the part that bloggers don’t often share about – to be honest, it was a total failure. The tote was the wrong shape and size, and it just didn’t work.

A few days later, I found myself in the hospital with Layne, so I left it up and tolerated it. However, after his death and then his funeral, we received so many breathtakingly beautiful arrangements sent to us from friends and family all across the world. So many arrangements were sent in gorgeous baskets and planters that I ended up keeping. My favorite basket came with a little gardenia tree from Rob’s work family. I loved how it had a vintage farmhouse look to it. Immediately I knew I wanted to reuse it in my summer decor.

After we finally planted the tree in our backyard, I noticed that the basket it was in had a small handle. Like a little goof, I got so excited and wondered how it would look stuffed with flowers on the front door. Needless to say since I’m writing this post, I’m in love! It’s so simple yet darling. The best part is that anyone could easily achieve this look. It really is as simple as stuffing florals into a basket.

More Unique Summer Wreath Inspiration

If you love my market basket wreath as much as I do, you’re going to love these other unique summer ‘wreaths’ below. Wreaths are such an easy way to up-level the look of your front porch and to make your home feel warm and welcome this summer. Not to mention, it’s a fun twist on the traditional wreath that will have all your guests talking when they walk through the door. I personally can’t get enough of the way these makers transformed the tobacco basket and wagon wheel into a statement piece for their front doors.

Not in the DIY spirit?

Trust me, I totally get it. It’s summertime with the kids at home and you’re bouncing in and out and around town. It’s even harder than usual to find time to get crafty while binge watching your favorite show on Netflix. If you’re not in the DIY spirit this summer, there’s a lot of amazing options in stores right now as well. Check out a few of these gorgeous summer wreaths below! (affiliate links) 

 

I hope this post got you super inspired to refresh your front porch just in time to welcome summer. Do you love the non-traditional ‘wreaths’ like the market basket wreaths? Or are you more of a traditionalist with the round wreaths? Tell us how you’re planning to decorate your front porch for summer in a comment below!

Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I’m already starting to get ours prepped thanks to @walmart Lawn and Garden! #AD With a newborn and a toddler, running errands can be quite the task. But thanks to #WalmartLawnandGarden, I’ve been able to get everything I need to kickstart our garden this year in one place — from the convenience of snuggling my babies on my couch with Walmart.com and the app! The time it saved me from running all over town, I got to spend making core memories with John as we taught him how to start his very first set of seeds in the @jiffygroup seed starting tray. 

Here’s a look at what we got to kickstart our garden this year:
- The @jiffygroup Seed Starting Greenhouse Kit: to grow our own seedlings and get a head start on the season by starting them indoors! 
- The  @ferrymorseseed Seed Starting Heat Mat: to give our seeds the best chance possible to promote germination and improve transplant results 
- Ferry Morse Seeds (flowers, tomatoes, and peppers!) 
- @pennington Rejuvenate Potting Mix and Garden Soil: to give our seedlings the nutrients they need once transplanted into our garden 
- Pennington Rejuvenate Tomato Plant Food
- @scottslawn Landscaping Fabric: to keep our garden clean and free of pesky weeds
- The @flexonhose Flextreme Advanced 100ft Hose: to keep it all watered without fighting kinks as we move easily around our raised garden beds

Add this kit to your cart now ➡️ https://click2cart.com/59600bc

Get a jumpstart on your spring and summer garden this year by shopping everything you need at Walmart, in-store or online at Walmart.com. And stay tuned to see how our garden comes together and grows this year!

But really, I’ve been using the same battery charge for a couple weeks now on vacuuming the downstairs of our house — and with two kids and two dogs, I do a quick vacuum every single day (sometimes multiple times a day!) The best part? Can rotate and charge with all our other Dewalt tool batteries.

January 20th, 2023 💛

James was born last Friday morning, and spent the first 5 days in the NICU for some breathing issues and fluid in his lungs. While those days were extremely rough, trying, and brought back a lot of emotions from Layne’s birth — God is so good, and my heart is just overwhelmed by His faithfulness. My favorite moment in life thus far was surprising John before bedtime the night we were finally discharged to come home. I’ll never forget the look on his face when I walked through that door. Thank you, Jesus, for my babies. 🦋💛 #ahostinghome

✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous respon ✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous responses when I said I wanted to design an all black formal study right off my entryway, but I’m completely obsessed with every detail of this space. Rob has always wanted a study, so my goal with this space when it’s finished is to have almost like a moody, swanky cigar lounge feel. When we moved into this house this spring, I told Rob I was done playing it “safe for resale” with designing projects. Here’s to more of doing whatever the heck I want design wise in 2023! 👏🏼✨ Next up: let’s get this space styled and furnished! #ahostinghome

“And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end. “And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end.” ✨🎄 When do you take your Christmas decor down? The Christmas decor got put away earlier this week, and the house always feels so empty every year when it gets taken down! I was going to wait till next week to take it down, but with only 3 weeks left until baby arrives I’m finding myself in total nesting mode right now. Behind the scenes we’ve been putting finishing touches on the study while Rob was off work for Christmas, so I’ll be sharing all the photos and updates on that to the feed soon. In the meantime, who wants to come organize closets and baby stuff with me?! 😜 #ahostinghome
