Ok so we are already to week two for the Paint-a-Rug Party being hosted by Linda at My Crafty Home Life. If you are new to the party basically it is a group of bloggers who have signed on to try their hand at painting a rug. It’s the latest DIY trend and there are tons of cool versions popping up online!
My original plan was to use this rug from IKEA:

But for one of the first times in my life, IKEA let me down. Our Charlotte store is remodeling so their stock is really low. My precious rug is not coming back in stock until November! Sooo, plan B. I picked up this rug instead:

The color is listed as black but it is really more of a slate or navy, which is totally fine by me. And just to note: the blue is true to what you see online but the “red” is definitely fuchsia!
I love this rug but it will not really work with my original plans so I am trying to quickly brainstorm a new idea. Here are some images I pulled for inspiration…

If that doesn’t help you understand the direction I am going in, don’t worry, I don’t have a clue either!! I do have a Plan C if I can’t get a clear vision for what to do with this innocent little rug which is to use a rug I already own…
It already lives in my kitchen and did not cost much to begin with so I won’t feel bad if I totally botch it. So I guess my update is stay tuned! I will be back, along with all the other ladies next Thursday with my big reveal (EEK!)
