I think it is a really sweet doormat. Almost too cute to step on!

I tend toward the functional type of mat, as large as possible so that people can wipe their shoes well.

Like Graywings, I prefer functional doormats. One good brand is Waterhog. It's attractive and does a great job of cleaning muck from shoes and boots. Most of their styles are basic, but I did see a couple of Christmas designs in a catalog recently.

I have a Waterhog on the porch and boy does it hog water! lol. Which is a good thing.

On the inside of the doorway, I have an inexpensive mat with a dark pattern because no matter how much you wipe your feet on a wet day, you still bring stuff inside. This way I can chunk it when it's used up.

I just bought this one from Garnet Hill. I think someone posted a link for it here this weekend!! Whoever it was, thanks!!! Will go on my screened in porch and matches my decor. :)

I figured this one out.

You are a talented spammer and you have had a good run, laurabl112, but I am on to you.
