Almost there! Painting the rug this weekend took longer than expected – but so far it is turning out exactly how I imagined!
Only 4 more medallions left to paint – we painted the outer and middle rows first, then waited for the paint to dry because the stencil would overlap when painting the other rows.
We got two of those done and then ran out of paint – the rug absorbs so much paint!
I’ll share our process when I post finished pictures!
I am off to buy more paint!
It looks great so far! Can't wait to see it all finished up!
Thanks Amy! It is taking longer then expected, but I think it will be worth it!
It is looking beautiful!! Love that medallion!

Thanks so much Annie! I love how the medallion turned out too!
That rug is beautiful! Your painting job is perfect. 🙂
Thank you!! The painting is taking forever, but the lines are looking crisp!
It already looks great – love that bold colour! Can't wait to see the finished product 🙂
Thank you Amelia! I was unsure about the color at first – but once it dried overnight, it looked great!
That looks amazing!! Does the paint bleed at all on the rug? Those edges look so crisp!
There was a small amount of feathering on some of the edges, but not noticeable unless up close!
Love it! I am passing on the Leibster Award because I choose you as one of my top 5 up & coming blogs. You can see the info and my post about it here: http://athomewhenimwithyou.blogspot.com/2012/05/leibster-fever.html
