Welcome to the April Pinterest Challenge Front Door Fun. This monthly event is hosted by Cindy of County Road 407.
April Pinterest Challenge Front Door Fun
This month’s challenge was inspired by a front door arrangement by Tracy’s Trinkets.
The arrangement features:
- A metal container
- Leaves and twigs
- White hydrangeas
- Green sneeze balls (A name given by my children years ago. Smile.)
I loved this arrangement as the design works so well with my front door which features an oval-shaped glass window.
Creating The Arrangement
I do have a darker metal container that is similar to the one in the inspiration photo. But since it is spring I decided to use a soft mint vintage-inspired post box. I have shared the metal box previously in Front Door Valentine Decor.
Wanting a flower refresh I found four faux floral picks at the Dollar Store.
The kelly green leaves on the peony pick clashed with the soft green shades I was seeking.
A Quick Fix
This required a simple quick fix. The bloom pops right off and the leaves can slide right up and away.
Much better!
I like to create the arrangement right where it will hang. This saves from creating a big mess indoors too.
Begin with a base of leaves.
Then add in the floral picks one by one.
Pops of lavender and soft yellow is a soft focus. Three white hydrangeas are a nod to the original inspiration image.
On the front porch, the colors are continued in a springtime vignette. They include soft pink azaleas and geraniums, purple petunias and white candytuft.
Throughout the yard, there is a celebration of spring in similar shades.
The blooms on the peppermint rose tree are a touch of happy.
The lavender bearded irises are like gentle grandfathers in the garden.

Your front door arrangement is so pretty, Laura! I love the color pallete that you used. Those colors look very pretty and complement your front door color nicely. I also enjoyed seeing the flowers by your door.
Oh, my!!!! I absolutely adore your entire spring entrance. The wreath is the perfect finishing touch!
Just beautiful, Laura! Love your post box with it’s bountiful floral arrangement!!! I love how your front entryway looks with everything ~ very ethereal… Best wishes on getting your master bedroom bathroom finished! Lots of work ahead but I am sure it will look lovely once it is completed. Happy to be with you again on this month’s PC.
Happy spring hugs,
Barb 🙂
Your yard and your porch look fabulous. Your adorable mailbox is a adorable to go with it. I have the same mailbox. It’s a perfect match for your front door. I love it.
These pinterest challenges are fun — so clever, the different interpretations! I love your post box — it’s a real treasure and the colors you chose were perfection!
Laura, I am crushing on your front door. I love the arrangement and how you shared your tips on the removal of leaves. I also love how budget friendly your arrangement is. Very pretty.
Love working with you on the Pinterest Challenge.
Very nice! Those peonies look so much better without their leaves. Great idea. Love your whole inviting front entry and all your beautiful flowers.
Just lovely, Laura… and taking the leaves off the peonies was a perfect idea. Lamb’s Ear is one of my faves and works great with your florals!
Oh, BTW! Be sure to link up at Homestyle Gathering! Party opened this morning!
I love it Laura! I have an old mailbox hanging by the door in Navastinky. I will absolutely do this when I get back next time. And I just realized, the new paint color on my door is very similar to yours! I love how bright our porch is now. We are so stinkin cute. 😉 Thank you for joining in today. Means a lot.
What a beautiful display! You have such an eye for composition!
Love seeing all your pretty pastel flowers, Laura! The arrangement coordinates beautifully with your fresh garden flowers. Those roses are amazing!
Lovely!
Have a nice day 🙂
I love your take on the challenge. I have that POST box, but mine is not painted. I have only used it indoors, but it might just make the door for the upcoming patriotic holidays.
Laura, love that pretty container. Very French vintage. Great idea about removing the leaves from the faux flowers when they aren’t the right color. The flowers in your yard are already looking spectacular.
It’s absolutely perfect Laura! The mailbox and your door color look fabulous together, along with the colors of flowers you chose. Yet another beautiful design using Dollar Tree flowers!
I love the way your whole porch and entry is looking! So pretty!
So fun to join you for this challenge. Enjoy your beautiful spring flowers!
This is so cute!! I love that you and I both used a post box for our arrangement…great minds do think a like!!! Looks amazing!!!
