My first spray painting project of the season was more enjoyable than I had hoped. I had the perfect combo for the occasion- fresh air, sunshine, 65 degrees….NAPTIME!
Here is my front door currently. Cute. Nothing fancy. But there’s a ugly side to it.
Uhg. My 3-year-old-never-moved-since-the-day-I-put-it-down rug.
Since I’m really loving monograms right now I decided to give the rug the “T” treatment. First, I took one of my monograms off my kitchen wall as a template and made a paper stencil.
Then, I painted the center part of the rug the accent color.
Pinned the stencil onto the rug. (Originally, I tried taping it down-that didn’t work at all.)
Then, I sprayed almost an entire can of the main color on the rug. I could have used more, but I’m impatient and the kids were napping and I hate unfinished projects. So, I’m calling it done.
Ok, so it’s not perfect. I hate that the stripes show through... and the “T” is off-center. But not too shabby for a FREE rug upgrade!
I have LOTS of projects coming up… now that it’s spray painting season. Find out what I do with these less-than-beautiful candle sconces…
GET CRAFTING!!
