Paint a Rug Party : Inspiration
Linda of My Crafty Home Life invited me to join a rug painting party, and since I am never one to pass up a project beyond my skill set, I said "sure!"
For a while now I have had my eye on this rug:
I could buy the Madeline Weinrib version for a gazillion dollars. Ikea supposedly has a similar version, but I have scoured the Ikeas of four states for the past year and they are always out of stock, so I think Ikea is only pretending to sell that rug. Rugs USA also has a navy blue version.
My one concern with this rug is that it looks like it will use a hella amount of Frog Tape, does it not? I reserve the right to change my mind to a less tape-involved design.
I will probably not paint it black, but I do like the three rows of alternating stripes. I can't decide if I should attempt this with a rug in my master bathroom, or in my foyer. Check back next Thursday and find out which one I pick.

Wow, I'm in awe that you are attempting this and I can't wait to see the results! I just checked and the rug is available at my local Ikea here in NJ..
By the way, I came over via Simple Details and just became your newest follower.
Looks like we're on the same page with this project!
I considered doing this too. It's going to look great!
Love this pattern! Your rug will be better than that Ikea rug when it is all said and done. Can't wait to see what colors you choose.
Can't wait to see what you go with!
Good luck Lisa! Have fun.

I love this rug too! I am doing stripes as well. Great choice!
I think it does use a ton of tape...not sure, either. Looking forward to you attack.
I've always loved that rug! Good luck, anxious to see your color!
I want some Madeline Weinrib, too! The rug you like is one of my favorites, but it makes my brain hurt thinking about trying to replicate. I can't wait to see what you do!
can't wait to see what you come up with! love these challenges from ms. linda!
Can.not.wait to see this rug!
These paintings are awesome!!!
Cool Math for kids
I was going to use this rug as my inspiration too, but I'm way to lazy to tape off all those lines! I'm sure it'll look amazing though - can't wait to see your progress next week!
LOVE this idea!!!
I can't wait to see what you do with it!
Dang girl, you are ambitious! That tape job would put me in a straight jacket. Anxiously awaiting the update! Have fun.
Can't wait to see your rug!
