DIY Block Print rug

Totally falling in the same design style as my post this morning is this amazing diy project from Apartment Therapy.

That stunning rug was an inexpensive wool rug from IKEA that is about 10 years old. With the help of a welcome mat Leah achieved the look above. Check out the details here.

In love! Must try this.

    What a great way to revive an old rug! I’ve admired the scrollwork welcome mats and never thought to use them for block printing. Ingenious! I can see that working to embellish the bottom of some dropcloth drapes. Thanks for sharing.

    Leah Moss is so incredibly talented. She also has her own blog apart from AT. Here is the url: http://www.mosseclectic.com/
    She recently posted an awesome before and after of her hall/kitchen. It’s amazing what paint can do! And I love the rug she did as well…so creative!

ON THE BLOG

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.

Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.

On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
