A New Door Mat

The state of my stoops are bad...and the states of my door mats are also bad...The stoops are not an easy fix, but the door mats are!

In the front, we still have the door mat that was here when we moved in.  If someone told me I would have a door mat like this in the front of my home for almost 6 months, I would have laughed in their face or fallen over in disbelief, but kids, it is the truth, this is what my front door mat has been and STILL IS! Yikes!!! There is just so much to do when you get a house.....

(The fact that the awful mat isn't centered is diving me a little crazy while looking at this picture, but I must stay true to the title of my blog! haha)

In the back yard there was no door mat, but that I decided to do something about.  I often look through Ballard Designs and picture all the lovely things in my house.  BUT I had never actually bought anything, until now. I treated myself to a chevron door mat for the back door! I dig chevron but I hesitate to go crazy with it in case it goes out of style quickly, but I figured no harm done on a door mat! Yay! I love it!

I'll get around the replacing the front one at some point.  Perhaps this weekend I will just throw that awful rubber thing away whether I have a replacement or not.  Not like anyone ever uses the front door anyway!!!!
