It's Like Bathing In The Forest!: The Moss Mat

Moss is like nature's carpet that never has to be vacuumed. So why not bring a little of the outdoors in with a mossy bathmat?

Nguyen La Chanh's ingenious design is made from a decay-free foam called plastazote, and populated with three varieties of moss: ball, island, and forest. Maintenance required for this little patch of green is limited, as the moss thrives off of the humidity released from daily bathroom rituals.

I want one. I just question how much traffic the mat can stand.With the amount of people passing through my bathroom on a Friday night it may only last the weekend.

Living Moss Carpet Adds a Touch of Green to Your Bathroom

Thanks to Joy for pointing me to this. Joy doesn't need a bathmat because she's an elf princess and only bathes in the sacred fountain of beauty, which has naturally moss-lined banks.

I think it's a pretty clever idea. If you have a clever idea too and you'd like me to blog about please e-mail it to me. And as always, if you're a budding inventor yourself and need more info on prototypes or how to sell your ideas click here!

Love and Kisses - Danni

... Why? I guess the next step would be to swap out the Berber carpet with a nice Bermuda lawn.
