The first thing I did that really made an impact was to paint out every single ugly dark brown surface in the room.That obviously completely changed the feel of the place..
The other huge, major, monumental change came with the rug.Even though the vinyl flooring in here is very neutral, it still feels so so so good to just cover up a good portion of it with this beautiful rug of my dreams.. I’ve been looking at different area rugs for the last year or so and I’ve been really disappointed by what I’ve been finding.I thought what I wanted was pretty simple and basic, but I guess it turns out I’m a little more picky than I knew I was.. I’m so glad to say that this one came to live with me just at the right time.
Right when I was ready for it!.This is exactly what I had in mind.
The Maui Chunky Loop Rug in beige from Rugs USA.
I guess it’s just one of my (many) quirks, but it gives me great satisfaction to see my new bedding up against this happy new rug instead of the old vinyl flooring.. Of course, I’d be even happier if my nice new rug got to sit on top of some pretty rustic hardwood, but that will come.And guess what I came up with.
Twine of course!.Well, I started by braiding some long pieces and then twisting, hot glueing, and of course burning my fingers repeatedly.
So while it looks like it’s mostly twine, it’s actually about half and half twine and glue.. Well, it seemed simple enough.But it took a loooooong time.
