Stoop, There It Is

Ha, like that? ;)  A few days ago, our little stoop looked like this:

It was fine, but the light fixture and the door mat were both "leftovers" from the previous homeowners, so we figured it was time for an update.  

So, I hired my favorite handy man, who effortlessly uninstalled the ugly old light fixture and installed the new one, which my parents found and bought for us at Lowe's. :)  We added a new $10 doormat from Walmart and our little upgrade was complete. 

I like how the new fixture is more modern (we installed the same one on our back porch, too) and how the new mat actually spells out "Welcome."

Oh, and our cute door knocker was a Christmas gift from my Annie. 

Here's the side-by-side comparison:

Happy Thursday!
