Painted Doormat
A few months ago I was inspired by this photo of a painted gray & white striped doormat.
Last weekend, I showed it to my husband and we discussed the idea of painting one in our front entry.
At first we considered wide black & white stripes like the inspiration photo.
But the more we brainstormed we came up with the idea of painting a 36" X 48" black rectangle with a classic off-white clam shell in the middle.
This is the best mock up we could come up with but I think it gives you a pretty good idea.

I'd love to know your thoughts...

I can't tell you my relief that Pottery Barn have turned to an autumn theme - I really was uncomfortable seeing things we otherwise accumulate naturally in the course of our lives, like shells, branches, pebbles even - on sale! MAKING a home is the skill, not just buying things.
I am really torn...I lean towards the stripes making a bold statement. Really think it would be unique! The clam shell is a great idea, yet I go along with "Rita @ beach House Living" with a center one and smalls on each side it will monogram it in sorts :)
The strips very French European, without saying trendy French. The siding and the door will work great with both.
Therese, I guess you will have to surpirse us :)

Thanks for the encouragement- the hardest thing to remember is that only YOU control your emotions or reactions. We've been through so much in the last 2 years with the economy, it just seems silly to be upset about a missing stereo and back seats ;)

This is really a great idea.
