Chevron Painted Rug

With our recent move, I have some misplaced furniture and items I am trying to re purpose or sell on Craigslist.  This was my old office rug and since I don't have an office anymore I thought I might try to use it for another room.  I really was not sure how I would like it or not may be I would sell it or something.  Now that it is done I could not like it more. I thought I would cut it in half for my kitchenette table space but I really like it too much.  I think I may be revamping my dining room, Coming Soon. 

 It was a plain old Berber $40 white rug.  I had art charcoal and paint on it, but for the most part it is in good shape.

 I measured the best I could and did my pattern.  I was not perfect about it as I wanted it to look worn and besides, I do not like to measure.  With a 4 month old I barely have time to do this.

 I measured with a school ruler to make sure as I laid the tape down it was even acrossed.

 Then my kids Danced a jig and rubbed the tape down.

 My younger boy spritzed the rug with water and I painted with brush to rub it in.  I also added water as I went to let it soak into the fibers.

 I had the paint watered down 2:1 water.  

 I was happy the paint did not run under the tape, It must have been the Jig.

 I Love, Love, Love it!!  The teal turned out fantastic.

                                                                      I love Chevron's.

I am so ready for spring and great bright colors.  I have big plans to add color with my Thrift store finds.  Stop in and check those out, Coming soon.

Leave some love, I love to hear from you and I always encourage pinning.
