Painted Rug Before and After

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.
