Over the holidays, we spent many trips lugging suitcases, boxes, gifts and a Christmas tree in and out of our apartment (and the three doors we must pass through to get outside). While we settled on the closest heavy object we could find, it left us wanting some attractive alternatives to bricks or those mundane brown rubber doorstops.

MOMA also has the fun banana peel, and ALPHABETS on Avenue A in New York has the woman's high-heeled, sharp-toed shoe.
Anthropologie always has beautiful, cast iron door stops.
I love #4. So simple and colorful and yet economical. Has anyone ever used these before?
My landlord took two concrete pavers, spray painted them white then drew a face on them. Looks cool like a snowman
