DIY: Painting the Dining Room Rug

In the middle of the night while feeding baby Stella what is a girl to do?
Well this girl uses her cell phone and reads design blogs, mommy blogs, goes on facebook and pins a ton of stuff on Pinterest.  In my late night web surfing of blogs I came across a cool idea again and again, painting a rug!  So I thought I would give it a try.

AFTER
The process was pretty easy. Measure and tape out the design I wanted and paint away.  It took two coats to have it looking good.  The rug was a 5 year old pick up from IKEA and had really taken a beating since Amelia joined our family.  Chocolate milk and spaghetti spills, but it looked awesome after the makeover.  I love the feeling of completing a project!
