I was inspired by several posts on Pinterest on how to create a beautiful rug for the farmhouse. I searched through several options and combined some of the suggestions into this creation....
I found this cheap rug at Home Depot for $20.00. It is a 5X7 foot rug. Next step was to pick out a stencil My biggest suggestion is go for a bigger stencil. This got really tough towards the end as it is so intricate. Then I picked up 2 cans of white spray paint.

The finished product:
After the white was done, I felt like it was missing something. So I went back and got a smaller stencil to lay on top of the white and add a pop of color. I love this blue and happened to have it on hand. Although not one of my best creations it is farmhouse workable. The entire project was under $30.00. One lady said it took her only a half an hour to spray paint her rug. I'd guess that mine was a 2 plus hour project. I think stencil choice is key. Overall, I'm pretty pleased how the rug turned out.
I love it! I know it was a lot of work but it is so creative.

ReplyDeleteWow, it looks like the work paid off. Nice looking. (Does the paint wear well?) I think you're right that stencil size will dictate the difficulty and time the project actually takes.
