apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

This bath mat is TOO BIG for my tiny NYC bathroom - so I cut it carefully in two. Now I have two bathmats that are much easier to keep clean.

luv the shower curtain.....where can i get one of those?

I was sick of area rugs slipping on my tile floor, so I whip-stitched two of these together and made a big, easy to clean area rug! It looks awesome and took hardly any time at all.

Lands End has the best bathmats - in a wide variety of colors, styles and sizes...
...no going to IKEA, no wading through the crowds, and if the color or size is wrong, returns and re-shipping are free.

It's too bad my husband's cat loves to pee on these things.

I miss my bathmat :(

I miss my cheap, Ikea, colourful bathmat :(

I had an orange one for almost 2 years. We ditched it in favour of a bathmat towel. I like the towel better as I don't like leaving the rug on the floor after I get out of the shower.

Miss Upsetter - I think that's the best idea I've heard in a long time. Brilliant! [starts to feverishly peruse IKEA website for bathmats]

Is it rubber-backed?

i didnt like the bathmat from ikea (i had the same one) it seemed to hold dust bunnies really easily and this made it look dirty all the time. also it got matted down really quickly. Sorry, but i think this is the first time i have ever disagreed with you.

Miss Upsetter - Was just thinking of doing what you did but figured it'd probably look a bit silly. You've given me a boost.

I have the same one and it's my favorite. Feels so good on your feet.

The shower curtain is from Anthro...search "snow field shower curtain".

Is that tile easy to clean? It's so cute.

I have one of the rugs in light blue. I love it but my cat loves it too so I moved it into my walk-in closet, which for some reason has a linoleum floor. *shudder*

quiltmaster: Yes, the mat is rubber backed

mflick: It does get dirty, but no faster than any other bathmat I've ever had, I actually have two so when the first gets dirty I can switch it out in between trips to the laundromat.

dzignkrazy & trixxie: The shower curtain is actually from Target, we wrote about it in this roundup

Lizzykewl: this particular tile is original and most of the finish has worn off, making it difficult to clean, but in general I've always found small hex tile perfectly fine to clean (and yeah, it's my favorite)

thanks everyone

Love this bathmat!!! Had it for three years and love it. Oh yeah quiltmaster it is rubber backed and comfy on the toes too!
