Richard had to work for my Dad using his GPS equipment (from Richard's work) to help him lay out rows for a new blueberry field that they are putting in. So we were out at the farm Friday evening and most of Saturday morning. While he was working outside I was working on a new rug for our family room inside. Richard had picked this rug up from Ikea, which several other bloggers have already painted including this one which I LOVE!
Here's what our diy process looked like.
Child labor, I highly recommend! ; )
After:
We also got a new roman shade from the Home Depot. Hoping that it will keep our house a little cooler this summer.
And yes that's Evelette sitting in our Badai (her favorite spot to sit and play or read while we are getting ready. ;)
The shade all hung!
We spent the whole rest of the weekend in our yard. We had a list of about 15 things to do and we finished most of it! Unfortunaletly I can hardly walk this morning. lol
Have a great Monday my Luvs!

Thank you for this post! We really need a rug for our living room and have yet to find anything - especially for the right price. This is a perfect project! Do I have to use a certain paint??
okay, i LOVE! Where did you get the rug you started with and more about the paint?!?
Oh my, my boys would be beside themselves with excitement to get to work on that project! Evelette must have had a blast! She is just too cute for words.
