We don’t remember much from French class outside of “oui” and “Grey Poupon” but we know that when we hear the word “faux” we usually don’t get too excited. Who wants a fake anything? Well, when the faux version is more practical and far more useful we can make an exception. This is the case with these Faux Bois Placemats. Translated as “fake wood,” these digitally printed mats resemble actual wooden eating stations. Plus, since they are digital prints (though you can’t tell til you get up close) you can use them both indoors and outdoors and easily wash the spilled BBQ sauce right off. They come in birch, driftwood and walnut and will add some rustic appeal to whatever your next meal may be, even if it’s McDonald’s take-out or SpaghettiOs.
