I am stopping wreaths

[ Edited ]

I had seasonal wreaths for the front door and DH has complained about them. It's not a fight I want so I am gathering them up to donate.  Plan on repainting door in sage green.

@traveler  Geez, that's the pits.  A wreath on the front door just adds a little something.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Think of it as the price for peace. Smart move on your part.

I only display wreaths for fall and Christmas. I used to have about a dozen wreaths, got tired of storing them.

big of you to choose peace over having your way. i admire that. just make sure you're not always the one giving in! and good call on the new color of your door. sage green is very pretty. maybe you can post a photo when it's done 😊

I'm sorry.  Can you put  a box or urn of mixed flower next to the door?

@traveler - can you use them someplace else in your house if you really like them?  We have a storm door and face west so do not use a wreath on the door.  Cannot be seen and roast if they are live.  No cover over the door so cannot use on outside of storm door either.  However, I do hang one next to the kitchen and one on the outside of a closet door in our family room.  Brightens up the room and I can still change them seasonally.  Maybe you can compromise?

Of all the things for your DH to complain about. Really?!

No compromise? He complains and you say OK?

I like to see a nice seasonal wreath on a front door.

My neighbor has wreaths on her fence gate that shows from street.

@traveler Good move on your part. You obviously know what is important in life and what isn't!👍
