WELCOME PROCRASTINATOR'S ANONYMOUS!
I made the wreath from grapevine, birch twigs and wildrose hips.Five years ago, After seeing a cool idea in a PotteryBarn catalogue, it got clipped and saved. It was a storm door on an old farm house, fashioned like a large wooden shutter. Either in a book, or on a video, sometime since then, I noted that Tasha Tudor (my favorite children's book illustrator), also had a similar one on her home.
I decided to make our screen door into a convert-a-door. It would have a solid panel in the fall/winter seasons, and by simply backing out a few screws, it would be fitted with a screen panel for spring and summer. I removed the old screen panel and made a double sided panel of bead board, with 3) 1x6 brace boards going across on the "inside", and the Victorian gingerbread of the old screen door frame accenting the "outside".
The front door FINALLY got it's paint too.
Sorry the picture's so dark, I finished the challenge at 8:30 tonight.

The grill got moved and a cover.
A plant stand from Sarah, and pumpkins took it's place.
The junk got removed, things got a good sweep and scrubbing.
corn stalks and blueberry bush trimmings
are attached to the porch pillars on each side.
