This is a house we lived in about ten years ago.
Everything...I mean everything had to be re-done!
We were on a limited budget. I started on the
first room when you walked in. We ripped
out the *NASTY* carpet!
Then I swept and vacuumed the floor. I painted
kills all over the area I was going to paint.
I found a rug in a decor mag that was way OVER
my budget and decided I could paint it. I marked
out my rug with tape ( I wish I had taken more pics,
this was way before I blogged)
I then started the details, I started on the border
and worked my way into the rug.
Here it is all finished!
Here it is after I moved everything back.
Please remember this was about *TEN*
years ago, so no laughing at my decor!
Another shot of the rug. It looked so real
that when people came in, they would try and step
up on the rug. I'll try and dig up the painted
floor I did in one of the bathrooms.

Thank you for your visit to hill country house a while back. For some reason I thought I had published your comment and then today realized it was still waiting to be published.Sorry about that! I admire your ability to paint a rug! It looks great and I didn't even laugh at your decor from 10 years ago either (smile) Great blog!
