The pineapple image is celebrated as a fun design element and yet it has for centuries symbolized “Welcome” in decor and architecture. A rare fruit to Europe and early Colonial America, obtained not locally but through trade, the pineapple became very in demand. Only wealthy hosts could afford to offer this fruit to their guests so it became a symbol of generosity and affluence. Real pineapples were presented at entryways, later the iconic fruit started to appear in carvings and concrete sculptures.
So why not say WELCOME to your guests and update this traditional decor statement with a punch of color! Using the *new* Stencil1 Pineapple stencil, paint it above your door in your favorite bright, cheery color.
