Front Entry Way - DIY project

For couple of last weeks I've been very busy with some spring projects around my house or better saying around my yard. I'll be slowly sharing it with you as it's getting accomplished.
One of my Saturdays I decided to work on my front entry way look. I think you agree with me saying that main entry way should be always welcoming looking:) Mine needed some refreshment after winter so I painted my concrete floor that had some water stains and just looked ugly. I choose this interesting brown shade  called Vaquero Brown from Quikrete that perfectly goes with my house colors but there are so many different colors to choose from:)

Saltillo Tile

I also bought these new planters I found for pretty good price and bought some new plants. At the the end I just added a new floor mat and it was all done. Nice and easy. Here are some photos before and after. Hope you like it:)






The result



Loving this plant combination:) can't wait till it grows a little more
