Front Door Damage Control

Our doorway is very plain.  Nothing about it screams, “Come on in ya’ll!”  Instead, it feels stiff and rigid and warns people to keep away.  Do you ever feel this way about a space?  It drives me crazy!  Our doormat isn’t even warm and inviting.  It’s one of those sad things we saw at IKEA and realized we’d better grab.  It cost three or four bucks.

Yawwwwn

So I decided to start poking around.  And I’m embarrassed to say that my husband thought that this would be a hoot:

“Look!  That’s where the loud, WEIRD Americans live.”

It’s been vetoed.  And instead of buying a whole new rug, I’ve decided to get a little crafty while Martin’s away.  You can see our much preferred hand-painted doormat here.
