Looking at other ways that people have used to mark their homes with their coats of arms, we find these welcoming examples, like this yard sign:
Or what is called a "barn quilt" seen in Canada:
Or a banner, or even an enameled sign:
either of which can help lead people up to your doorway:
Over which, of course, you might place a welcoming heraldic light:
With an armorial welcome mat beneath:
And, of course, an armorial door plaque, just in case the haven't quite figured out who lives here yet:
And, of course, you should have some flowers or foliage in a decorative armorial planter nearby:
All this, and we haven't even gotten inside yet!
Have you gotten any ideas for your own little abode yet? Stay tuned, we've got more!
Thanks for including my barn quilt square. It's a puzzler sometime for the heraldicly uninitiated.
