every now and again i check out ballards designs' web site. i am a huge fan of their indoor/outdoor rugs. i'll have to do a whole post on that later. but today, in checking out their new stuff (and not getting caught up in the 1 million catalogues of the same stuff they send out) i saw this entrance mat. i love it. so cute, crisp and fresh. i think it gives the perfect amount of color and whimsy and fun at the front door without crossing over the line into "cutsey." i'm particular about the door mat thing and have had to suffer the pains of one that became a great joke. so i'm speaking of stuff that i know about.
