Regal Crowns {Carnival 2013}

 

After my two Mardi Gras wreaths were stolen from my doors last year, I commissioned Melissa Henry of Show Me the Door to make two custom crowns.

The crowns fit perfectly on the inside of the door between the glass and Roman shade. Thieves: BEWARE!

The crowns are perfectly regal, painted in deep purple, bordered in shiny gold, and glittered to sparkle. Colorful purple, green, and gold stones also help to complete its festive appearance.

The crowns celebrate the revelry of the much-anticipated season. It’s Carnival time, afterall.

  12. Ron, that crown is gorgeous and you are so wise to put it inside of the glass. It's so sad to think how many thieves there are around.
    You are right about my purple and green tablescape fitting right in the Mardi Gras theme.
