Chilewich Doormats!

Our old doormats were ready to pass on. The front door one was nice and big, but quite boring- and it was really taking a beating with all the salt & snow! The kitchen door sported the only brown one I could find (to blend into the floor)- a $4 Target mat that had already been replaced multiple times.

After an angst-filled night looking for something attractive, durable, and not too pricey, I finally struck gold:

They're vinyl shag utility mats from Chilewich. Durable, practical, seemingly indestructible... and they look good. They're pretty pricey though ($150 for a 3'x5'... ouch!), but my luck wasn't over yet. Over on RedLollipop.com you can get big discounts on them- and they also sell 'irregulars' for 50% off. I bought 2 irregulars... and can't tell the difference! :D My only wish was that I could have gotten a bigger one for the front door, but the bigger size wouldn't fit... so there isn't anything I can do about that. Either way, I'm basking in how happy a doormat can make me...
