Baking, Building and Raising Babies We are tackling life one DIY at a time while balancing a family, a budget and a hectic daily life.
The front door of our house has been visited by more delivery drivers this year than I care to admit. We primarily use the back patio doors when we come and go, so, I don’t often think about the decor or functionality of the front stoop. For the past few years, we’ve had a simple TV Tray sitting next to the door for drivers to leave food and pick up their tip, and the poor tray has taken a beating.
I love fall and Autumn Decor. As soon as the temperature goes below 75°, I’m ready to deck out the house in pumpkins, leaves and scarecrows. One very special thing about our house, is it’s red front door. When my husband and I first started dating, and fantasizing about our future, we envisioned a cozy house, with lots of pillows and blankets, children, a garden, and a red front door.
My favorite part of this project is that is could be recreated on any scale for any type of home. If you are in a rental, have a condo or townhouse, or even on a patio or garden, you could recreate this on a smaller scale in a Decorative Planter and have a custom solar powered light post anywhere!

In my bedroom, I have an entire chest of drawers dedicated to sweaters. You could call that an addiction, but, I choose to call it a lifestyle. Don’t get me wrong, T-Shirts and Summer fun are great and all, but, the second the temperatures drop …
Our family has been hunkered down at home since the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic. We’ve nixxed our annual family vacation to Michigan, and instead are focusing on turning our Backyard into a “Stay at Home Vacation Retreat.” One-by-one, all of the “Some Day” projects …
