operational: in good working order, serving a purpose
Fashionable
currently popular, trendy
Sometimes those two words don't go together. For instance...
The Shirt Clip
Breakaway Pants
Platform Shoes
As the lady of the house and a artist at heart I love to decorate my home. Since I also have a husband and 3 boys I want fashion with function so I am not stuck cleaning all day on a nice summer day or cold winter day for that matter. One thing I do is to use rugs. Throw rugs. It has been documented that when a person comes to a mat at a door they will wipe their feet most times. If you will put a rug outside the door and inside the door most people will even wipe twice! It works, I have seen it, I have done it.
Back door.
Inside and outside my front door.
Try it and see if it works!

ReplyDeleteAngi do you also use two rugs at each door?
DeleteLOL Oh dear! :-) Those were all popular when I was growing up! Love it! I used those shirt ties all the time. HAHAHAHA!! Visiting from Thrive at Home Thursday. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the tree branch one. My momma taught me to use nothing ugly if there is a pretty alternative--fashionable/functional!
ReplyDeleteLove momma's like that! Hope I am also one to be said so well of ;)

I remember the shirt clips. Our mats are sort of ignored. :/ Maybe I need prettier ones. Thank you for linking up to the HomeAcre Hop! We'd love to have you back today.
