I’ve been thinking of painting or staining a stencil onto our dining rug.  (The following picture was taken before I painted the pantry door with chalkboard paint.)

As is, it’s a very durable seagrass rug that provides much needed texture to an otherwise “flat” area.  But it lacks interest…a pattern would be nice.  I like the idea of sprucing it up with just some paint or stain.  It would be cheap and pretty easy.  I’m studying these painted floors and rugs for inspiration…

As soon as the weather looks like it will cooperate for a few days, I’m taking my seagrass rug outside for a little project.
