Got a "shout out" from the ever ambitious Linda over @
My Crafty Home ~
Won't You Come To My Party??? Sure Hon, what's the dress code? Oh, Gurl not that kinda' party ....
this is a Paint a Rug ParTAY! What the heck??? Painting a rug??? I know, right. Crazy for sure but then I
got slam dunked with the crazy gene. Apparently painting a rug is the latest DIY craze going around the blogashere.
Got coerced by the ever crafty, non stop Queen of DIY herself Linda from
My Crafty Home to jump into the mix. Great group of bloggers are braving these tepid waters with me. Check them out!
This is
Idea Week & as usual I am all over the map. What style, what colors, where will it go, etc. etc etc.- say that in your best Yul Brinner accent from
The King & I. Def going with a stencil to keep it simple. Started out with a Chinoiserie theme in mind. These stencils rock!
From the Stencil Library in England. Wonderful choices, love them.
Also lovn' the Palm Beach Chic styles. Lawsey, I am gonna' have PBC everywhere I look.
With no Ikea around for hundreds of miles & they do not ship the rug featured in the blogs...
crapola gosh darn ~ I am stymied.... What's a girl to do??? Shop online... duh... Looked @ Overstock & saw some potential....
The orange is speaking to me.... imagine that. Also thinking maybe I do a plain jute & make my own border... a choice if made I am sure to regret....
I also gave pause to doing my Rembrandt on FLOR tiles. You may
remember I Love this product! Depending on how my first attempt goes may happen later.
Linda's blog post featured a spray fabric paint. Read through the different post & the idea of a spray paint that would clog & you had to keep moving til the can was empty totally daunted me so I am moving to something less stressful for moi. There was that incident in the cul-de-sac years ago where I had to have a neighbors car buffed out due to a spray paint mist he swore had settled on his Bemmer, I tried to explain metallic finishes were all the rage on fancy, expensive German made cars. So with that little walk down memory lane thinking of going with a fabric paint that I apply directly... we will see....Heck I haven't even figured out what room this bad boy is going in..... Wait & see......Leaving you on that note.
In the meantime or is it
for the meantime????? Whateva' ~ go, now, check out the other creative spirits & what they are doing with their rugs;
Sidebar... I am a dork. Want proof? There is plenty but most recent I jumped the gun & published this post yesterday. Linda quickly caught my mis-step & I took it down. Sorry to have spoiled the surprise but no harm, seriously only 3 people read my blog. Linda, Forgive me!
