If you're in the mood for a quick and easy Valentine decor idea, how about creating a loving message at your front door? I was originally looking for a plain mat that I could paint a big red heart on, but when I found this "key" welcome mat, I figured I could add a sweet message instead.
I'm not sure how practical this mat will be as far as the paint lasting once dirty shoes are scraped against it, but it's sure cute for now!
I die over this adorable shabby chic wagon from Hobby Lobby. The pink and purple faux flowers are also from Hobby Lobby.
To apply the text, I used a stiff paint brush and leftover Urbane Bronze paint from my kitchen cabinets. I dabbed the letters on as opposed to swiping. The heart was created with the same brush and pink craft paint. This project took a total of about 10 minutes.
The best part was painting with my little guy. Of course when he saw me painting he wanted to join in. I wish I could bottle this age!
Didn't his picture turn out cool?
