Yes it's true, I painted my rug yesterday whilst Nick was at work. I didn't tell him of my devious plan, because I knew the look he would give me. I don't recall how the idea came into my head. But I've been wanting a beautiful decorative area rug in the living room for quite some time now. I've even spent hours on overstock.com looking at all the different options, knowing we wouldn't have the money for it anyway. We've been living with this off-white 5x8 rug that we got on clearance at Walmart... yep, Walmart. For $17. I found it to be very boring and solid in color, lacking the 'statement' that I wanted it to make. Supplies you'll need: Boring solid color rug Stencil Can o' spray paint Painters tape Measuring device Project total: $0 for us!
Using a large stencil we picked up at Hobby Lobby for a nursery project, I started laying out my increments. Since there are to be 3 stencils on the 5' side, I divided the rug evenly with tape going long-ways. Slap on your stencil kids! Adore Vintage Home Inspirations.
