Random Word Generator: PermanentIt's really interesting discovering what squidoo lenses come up with the search term provided by the random word generator; at first glance, it's difficult to see how they could possibly be related. However, if you really set your mind to it, you can come up with a link...
Take the word Permanent, for example, as today's random word. The lens, MatMates Doormats by nyfamily5, at first glance, doesn't appear to be linked at all. However, it is :) Doormats, I hope, are a permanent fixture. Okay, a very subtle link!
I found a number of doormat lenses but none of them really stood out enough for me until I came across nyfamily5's. It's bright and colourful and just what you need to wake you up first thing Monday morning, or should that be Wednesday morning?
As the doormat is one of the first things you notice when you knock on someone's door, it has to be pretty striking and very welcoming, too. What isn't very welcoming is a doormat that makes you think twice about entering said residence, even if you think, it could be done in jest ;) The doormats featured on this lens, are more than welcoming, though. They're patriotic, seasonal, bright, cheerful, cute and interchangeable, too!
This is such a neat idea; you first buy the tray and then you can buy separate doormats according to your tastes. As the season, your mood, or even your visitors changes, your doormat can be changed to suit. An ideal way to make someone feel at home whoever it is.
Doormats don't seem to be a popular as they used to be and I often wonder why. It's a shame as they're an attractive and useful addition to any home whether it's a flat, cottage or penthouse ;)
What's on your doormat? :)

I don't have a doormat, but maybe I would if I could get one like these! I wonder if doormats are more popular on the other side of the pond where people seem to decorate their houses to themes more than we do? A fun recommendation and, I agree, lovely and cheerful to greet visitors or even yourself returning home.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are some really cool doormats, Carrie. Great review too.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to say that I have a dirty gray doormat, which would be put to shame by the ones shown in this lens. Clever idea - I assume they are washable!
