Painted On Front Porch Rug

Our front porch really needs to be rebuilt but in the meanwhile (while we save up) I gave it a facelift with some wood glue, caulk, and paint. The best part: A porch rug that I painted right on the top landing.

You can see and learn more here ...

    Makes my back hurt to think of bending over to paint that, so maybe she can come to my house and paint an awesome *rug* for me.

    I became inspired - and bought an outdoor rug. That worked better for me since my floor is brick pavers, and not too even at that.

    I love this. I have always wanted to "paint" a rug. I had seen a painted porch , a solid hue, on Jeanette S page, this takes it a step further into what I would like to do in a room in my house that has old wood floors covered by a rug. Great inspiration!

    Annette -- it's just paint ... if you don't like it you can easily slather a coat of solid over it ... :)

    Your welcome Maria! Mine is painted on wood so I just used porch paint. I would ask the folks at the hardware store for recommendations ...

    Wow, that is really awesome idea. I never would have thought of it, but it'd be great to cover up my <a href="http://www.framarfrackielbuildersil.com/services.html">porch repair in Chicago IL</a>.

    Su you could just contain the pets in the house for 6 hours or so...that would be enough time for the paint to "set" and by the next day it would be ready for traffic.

    I've been looking to buy an outdoor rug for my back patio, but this is a great idea and I will save a lot of money. Thank you.
