I rounded up some more pretty diy painted rugs for inspiration, I'm thinking making a simple diy painted rug for our house. These all give me so much inspiration. More pretty chevron stripes, this time in an array of purple.

I love the idea of painted a rug and creating a custom look (without the price) Have you been thinking about painting a rug for your home? Or already you already, I'd love to see if you have?

  4. I've been seeing these too and love them. I've been thinking of trying it in my kitchen... I wonder how well they stay clean?

  5. Amanda - I've been thinking the same thing, I guess it depends on what type of rug you use. I also worry about the paint chipping off and wonder if you need to brush on a clear coat over the painted surface.

  9. Thanks for the shout out, Katrina! Just a little note about the wear, it seems to be fine so far. I definitely suggest an oil based paint, as it will soak up more paint. I think if it gets dirty, I'll just paint over it...
