Stenciled, Refreshed Rug

September 20, 2012 By Meegan Leave a Comment

I have had rugs on my mind!!  I would like 2 new ones for the kitchen, one for the side of my bed, and a new one for the TV room.  I look, and look, and look, and look everywhere!!  I look for deals, I look for colors, and I look for makeovers ideas.  I look even when I don’t need a rug.  I don’t know what that means psychologically, but I just like rugs.  That is all there is to it.

I painted one wall of our TV ROOM “A Hint of Olive” by Ace Hardware.  I LOVE how it turned out!!

You can also view my pinkish frames, my pinkish pillow, my lampshade, the floating frames, AND my pass it along gift-a handcrafted decoupaged can  made by Debbie Doos on the table here.
I have a green rug that is OK.  It worked well for awhile, but now it is just OK for me.  This became my pallet:

These became my tools.  A regular old paint brush, a stencil and paint:

Yes, I used interior satin paint!!!  I went to Wal-mart and had them color match “Summer Sonnet” by Ace Hardware.  Now I could get started!!

I first painted along the lines that were already on the rug.  Easy!!  Then, on a piece of paper I drew out a pattern where I wanted each stencil to be placed.  Isn’t she lovely??
With my regular paint brush I dabbed the paint through the stencil.  Seriously SO easy!!
Isn’t she just lovely????
Don’t you just love my much desired make shift slip cover.  (I will get one soon)

She adds pizazz to our freshly painted room, doesn’t she???

Now I have a “NEW” rug!!  I can’t believe how nicely she turned out.  Happy me!!  Happy new rug!!  Yay!!!
FYI-I have already vacuumed her, and tried using a wet sponge over the paint, in case I ever need to clean up an oily food spot.  The paint remained in tact!!  The painted areas are a tiny bit stiff, but not unbearable or uncomfortable with bare feet.
Don’t forget I shared with you how to make a Shower Curtain Rug, as well.  Both of these ideas are fun, creative and inexpensive in comparison as to how much rugs cost.  Believe me-I know!  :)
I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial on how to change up and make over a rug you already have.  It was a very fun project for me!
Now go cut a rug!!  And make it a wonderful day!!
