Stenciled and Painted Front Porch Makeover

We recently had the exterior of our home painted a bright, crisp white. We wanted to dress up our front porch to go along with our new more modern exterior. I knew I wanted something bold for the front door. We chose Modern Master Front Door Paint in Fortunate. We had this amazing stencil (Moorish Circles) from Royal Design Studios blown up to an 18″ repeat. We painted the floor with Sherwin Williams porch and floor paint. The base color is 7045 Intellectual Gray and the stencil color is 7028 Incredible White. We added new house numbers, a new entry light and a new door knob to complete the look.

    I painted our porch but it is slippery when it rains/snows/etc. any suggestions on a non-slip way to incorporate a pattern?

      I believe there are finishes that will add grit. Check with your paint supplier. The paint will last longer with a finish anyway
