GelPro Anti-Fatigue Floor Mat review

March 8, 2009 By

Thanks to Erin from Cohn & Wolfe, I received a GelPro floor mat to review in my kitchen.  I chose the small mat in the basketweave pattern and the color called “Coquina”. After standing on it once while washing dishes, I came to this conclusion:

I would like my entire kitchen floor to be made of a GelPro mat. Also my bathroom floor.  It is just that comfortable to stand on! I tried standing on the mat with shoes on, with socks on, and in my bare feet, and in all three situations, my feet felt cushioned and comfortable.  If you’ve ever worn or felt those gel inserts for shoes, that’s what this feels like.

In addition to relieving the pain and fatigue caused by standing on hard flooring, GelPro mats are great for people who suffer from back pain or foot pain. A GelPro mat is like a natural cure for backache! You can use a GelPro mat anywhere in your house- in the bathroom, in your laundry room, in your garage-there are styles and colors to match most any decor. The GelPro website even has a virtual kitchen where you can select your cabinet and flooring colors and then see which floor mat style and color works best for your kitchen!

GelPro floor mats are designed and assembled in the USA. You can purchase them on the GelPro site, or use the site’s retail store locator to find a store near you that carries them. This is a product I can wholeheartedly endorse as doing exactly what it says!

I should probably stay out of Home Depot

June 2, 2008 By

If you also read my blog Table for Five, you’ll know that last weekend, my husband and I did a bathroom makeover. We painted the walls a lovely blue, he made a frame to go around the mirror that is just AMAZING, and I even found a numbered, titled, and signed print at Volunteers of America that is perfect on one of the walls.

The problem? I’ve been bit by the Home Improvement bug! Everywhere I look in my house now, I see makeovers! I see storage units and shelving and new carpet for the playroom! I find myself browsing these home decor websites practically drooling into my keyboard. Heck, I was looking at storage ideas for the kitchen and drooling over Wine Racks, and we don’t even drink enough wine to NEED wine racks!

This is a nice one though, if I did drink enough wine to need one, this would be a great choice. It’s from The Vine Store, holds 18 bottles, and is $49.99. If your looking for wine racks, wine tasting glasses, or any other wine related items for your kitchen, it’s a great store to check out. They carry wine racks in wood and metal, and also ones that hang from the wall in this cool metal climbing vine shape, I’ve never seen anything like them!

If you like hosting wine tastings at home, you can buy a wine tasting table from The Vine Store, with a solid top and a rack underneath to hold the bottles. To keep your wine chilled, you can get a wine cooler with a glass door that both chills and displays your wine bottles. They have sets of really pretty wine glasses and decanters, too. Not being a big wine drinker myself, I had no idea that there were different shaped glasses for different kinds of wine! I would have never known that you serve red wines in shorter, rounder glasses and white wines in taller, narrower ones. The things you learn online!

All products from The Vine Store are shipped nationwide with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Except in Ohio, no sales tax is added, and customer service hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 to 5:00 Eastern Standard Time. You can return an unused wine rack for a 100% refund within 15 days of receiving order, no questions asked. That’s a pretty good deal. You can get more information about any of the products available as well as all the shipping info by visiting The Wine Store.com.
