Where DIY Meets LOL
As someone in the Western world, you’ve been taught that you’re a special little snowflake. So does it really make sense that someone as unique as you are should settle for a ho-hum generic welcome mat? Not you, sparkling star! When people approach your door, they should know right away that someone with personality lives there – and that starts with a creative doormat like the ones we found at Damn Good Doormats.
People have a funny way of teaching children lessons. Take the importance of keeping one’s walk clear of ice and snow. Back in the day, between Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, Sesame Street and Mr. Dressup, short animations from the National Film Board of Canada would air.

We probably don’t need to tell you that first impressions are important. We’ve probably all met someone who rubbed us the wrong way upon meeting them – and despite getting to know them better – they’ll always secretly be “Bad Handshake John” or “Snobby Cathy” or “Pantless Jen” in your mind.
