Who Wants to Paint a Rug?

I have an idea....famous words that always lead to mayhem. September is just around the corner and the kids will be back in school...so let's celebrate with a group project.

I have been dying (no pun intended) to paint a rug and I know that some of you have, too. Maybe something like this one
Via Design Sponge
Or, this one
Pudel-design
This is what I am thinking; my crafty creative friends live in blogland....not in New Jersey. Although New Jersey has some amazingly creative people...I just don't know them. Anyone who wants to tackle a rug painting project...blog or not...leave a comment or e-mail me. I will compile a list of rug rats (sorry, I had to say it) and we will start in September. I would guess it will take three weeks.

Go ahead, walk around your place and think about how you could use one of these

Interested? Call me...maybe!

I Want To Try This

On Sunday, I was clicking around....one click....leads to so many more. I stumbled upon this product at  Before After (she has a giveaway for it).

Upholstery Fabric Paint
Oh my, upholstery fabric paint.....ready to go! This is a DIY-ers dream.

I know the perfect application for this.....a painted rug. I have been wanting to paint this rug for quite some time. I love all the custom painted rugs that are currently all over the net. I especially like Lauren's rug.
