But....back to the world of design....I'm always looking for a great rug to complete a space without breaking the bank. In the latest issue of Canadian House & Home I came across a great DIY project which will transform a plain (inexpensive) sisal rug, into...well anything you want...in only a few steps.
1. Map out your pattern with painters tape
2. If you chose a stripe patten a foam roller works best, if you went for something more intricate stick with the good old paint brush & paint your pattern using an exterior grade paint (it will hold up better than interior paint)
3. Apply 3-5 coats and let the rug dry overnight
4. Remove the tape in the morning - and instant transformation!
I haven't yet given this one a try but plan to do so in an upcoming home office project!
