This one provokes a question…does it not fade because no one ever comes through the door, or because it’s kept spotless after every visit? 🙂 If the question is too personal, you needn’t reply.
An interesting question!
When I think of the welcome never fading— as represented by the mat—it means “you never wear out your welcome there.” That is, the welcome given is always hearty and genuine. Just one of those old sayings. But a reader could take it in the way you first suggest.
