“MAD ABOUT [CHEVRON RUG] MONDAY”

…I generally love graphic prints because of its simplicity, but lately I’ve been drawn to Chevron print because it is more interesting than plain stripes.

I especially heart gray Chevron because gray is my all-time favorite color so imagine my excitement when I found this rug!

And guess what…it’s D-I-Y! I found this over at photographer Hayley Anderson’s blog. She made this herself by painting a plain white rug with latex paint. I really must try this.

You’ll need:

White/Beige Flat Woven Rug from IKEA

Green Painter Tap for Hard to Stick Surfaces

Latex Paint/Brush

Start with a plain flat woven rug

First – you’ll have to tape the Chevron pattern on the rug

Then just paint away…

This also makes me think – you’re not limited to just Chevron stripes. Whatever design you can create with those painter’s tape, you can have whatever rug design you want. Awesome.
