This is perfect as I have to buy new lights tomorrow. I’ll be sure to look for the ones you mentioned.
I’m so glad that this helped! The lights should be labelled clearly and not hard to find! Happy holidays, Patty!
Thanks for the tips! What would the benefit of the doormat be?
Hi Suzanne, Thanks for stopping by. Our shoes bring in toxins like lead, pesticides, chemicals from winter salts, renovations etc. A doormat provides a place to either a) wipe your shoes before walking in the house and thus bringing in these toxins across your floors where small children play or b) a defined place to leave shoes.
