Look!: Leaf-Imprinted Sidewalks

We saw a lot of beautiful furniture on our recent trip to Room & Board, but it was the front walkway that first caught our attention. Details after the jump...

3-2-09 leafy sidewalk detail.jpg By imprinting fallen leaves into the front walk of the store they instantly added interest to what would otherwise be a another plain ol' sidewalk. This little detail can be incorporated into many DIY projects, and at no added cost. Nice!

I'm thinking I've been to Room & Board too many times recently... I saw the very top of the photo and knew exactly where it was.

I've always liked that sidewalk. It's a nice detail that they didn't have to do. A small gift to the customers.

It's easy to do that effect on stepping stones for the garden, too.

I must confess, I enjoy going to that store a little too much.
