Thanks
so much to everyone who took the time to reply! You're very good. Just thought I'd stick up a quick update for the benefit of anyone else looking for a pretty doormat:
~ Avoca say they do colourful doormats alright, but none in stock at the moment and don't know when they might be coming in.
~ Habitat have a selection of coir doormats for I think €20. They are patterned with [broken link removed] or thick wavy stripes or [broken link removed] but are mostly brown-y or dull colours [which I suppose is v. practical but not what I'm after].
~ Have had a good trawl through eBay; there are some funky looking ones on there alright but incl. postage most of them are averaging about €40
so I want to be pretty flippin' sure I can't get one I like in the shops here before going down that route!!
~ Going to check out Heatons over the wk*end - would their branches in Naas/Portlaoise/Carlow be likely to carry doormats or would I need to go to one of the bigger stores, like Blanch?
~ Also, does anyone know if TK Maxx in the Stephen's Green Centre have things like doormats too or is it just the one in Blanch?
It's a good job I'm not fussy, isn't it..?
