Ikea Rug Makeover

Monday, January 9, 2012

 During my first shopping experience this past weekend at,




I found this great round outdoor rug, below,
for only $19.99.




The perfect basis for a quick and simple Monogram Project.


Step One:  Gathered supplies.
~Bowls to use as border templates and a "B" Cake Topper for the Monogram template.




Step Two:  Traced the Bowls and the Letter "B" on the rug with a permanent black marker.




Step Three:  Filled in the lines with Black Indoor/Outdoor Paint.




 And once the Painted Monogram was completely dry...




Placed it by our Salon Door to enjoy!







More on my IKEA trip coming soon! "smiles"

  3. What a clever idea! I bought a monogrammed rug from Home Depot last year and paid a lot more! Love what you did with the Ikea rug. Very clever. I'm your newest follower and I hope you can pop over to Cottage and Creek and follow back.
    Have a good week.

  5. Love how you personalized it! You're so creative that way. I love Ikea for storage and especially for sewing room storage! I can hardly wait to see what other things you found and how you used them.

  7. Beautiful! You got such nice clean lines. Those textured surfaces are tricky to paint!
