PAINT A RUG PARTY - THE REVEAL

Here it is!  


Ta-da!


I decided not to add the pink.  It was just too labor intensive that I didn't think it would be worth it.
{Plus I didn't really have the time.  My parents are in town from the Philippines}


If you missed week one and two, click here and here.


I know some of the participants used fabric medium, I didn't.
The latex paint is a tad crunchy but it doesn't really bother me.  The roughness is way, way less than a jute or sisal.  {I guess it also depends on what rug you use.  I think mine is a low loop pile rug}

Here's a peak of the campaign desk and shelves.  I haven't really styled it yet.  I spray painted the back of the shelves gold.


And oh, the Warsa fuchsia linen was delivered yesterday...

{That's my next project - reupholster the bergere chair minus the tufting}

And I'm done painting the island, I just have to add another coat of white paint to the doors and the rest of the cabinets.
{I hate taking pictures in the basement, no natural light to work with!}


Thanks Linda for organizing this Party!  This was fun!!!  I think the next party should be a REAL party with drinks! (Who's in?)


Now, let's see what the other ladies did...

PAINT A RUG PARTY - THE PROGRESS

I love all the Madeline Weinrib rugs I showed you last week but I ended up using this pattern...

The Sherwin Williams Easychange wallpaper from our first bathroom redesign?
(I saved some of it when I took it down)


I cut a portion of the wallpaper

and started tracing the pattern with a sharpie pen...

The area rug is a plain gray rug I got from Big Lots for $20.


Then I painted some of the pattern orange using all purpose acrylic paint from Michael's...




I'm now in the process of painting over the black sharpie with white latex paint...

I ran out of orange acrylic paint before I finished the first coat. I bought flat latex orange paint(Sherwin Williams - fiesta orange) instead for better coverage.  (Notice the color difference of the 3rd and 4th rows from the top.)
It obviously needs a another coat.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to add pink.  
It is very time consuming though!!!

What do you guys think?
