I gave my son a cute doormat for his first apartment in 2015, as he was entering graduate school. That doormat has been gracing his front door through 2.5 years of school and 5 years of work, including getting married. As you can imagine it was dirty, faded and what can I say — ready for the trash. Every time I cross that threshold I think I should replace that yucky thing. And I did with this simple heart welcome mat!
