"  Photo: Courtesy of Aimee Song Each month, ELLE.com wades through the web in search of the best guest bloggers. For our July issue (starring Shakira and on newsstands now), we tapped Aimee Song, the interior designer behind Song of Style, to bring her signature SoCal style and design tips to our blog. Today&amp;#039;s installment is part of Song&amp;#039;s weekly DIY series: adding an easy touch of colorful cool to your home with a stenciled doormat.  Materials:  - Jute or Sisal doormat - Spray paint in the color of your choice - Duct tape - Stencils (Create your own, order online, or check your local craft store) .You can stencil anything: your name, address or any cute motif - Old plastic shopping bags Instructions:  1. Duct tape stencil to doormat. 2. Once secured, use more tape to protect the part of the mat you don&amp;#039;t want to spray paint on. I recycled old plastic/paper bags from my trips to the market. 3. Spray the exposed portions of the mat with the paint color of your choice. Try to aim straight down so that you get a crisp line. 4. Let dry for a few minutes, and then remove your stencil. DONE! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
