Welcome! (mat)



October 13, 2012

It may not be the sexiest, prettiest item, but I’ve been obsessing over finding the perfect welcome mat. We’re getting very close to our house looking done – from the outside – and I want to make sure the finishing touches are there. I do not want a funny (dare I say tacky) doormat, or anything too witty. I want something with good lines, but not boring – after all this is really the first impression of someone’s home right? So below are my winners – funny thing is that most of them are from Ikea – and like super cheap. I paused on a few from Restoration Hardware – but didn’t know if the monogrammed route was right for us (it felt stuffy). What do you think? Have you ever put so much thought into such a mundane item?

HELLO

Decor and home with a little bit of daydreaming and real life sprinked in. My husband and I are slowly updating our 1900 Dutch Colonial. I love hunting for vintage and flying the pacific northwest and the world with my aviator husband.
