Rug Before and After

This rug is one I found in my great-grandmother's house about four years ago. It's really to fragile to walk on, so I have used it as wall art in a couple different places. I definitely wanted to use it again in my new home but it didn't match my color scheme so I decided to paint it. That's it. Just regular, blue, Valspar paint. I used two coats because only one didn't cover up as much of the original brown color.

Materials:

                                   

Paint, Sponge Roller Brush, and a Screwdriver to open the bucket. Oh and an old bed skirt to use as my drop cloth. 

Before:

                                  

After:

                                  

                   

I didn't paint the backside so that if I ever decide to use it in a different color scheme, I can reuse the original color.
