Indoor/outdoor painted rug from Four Marrs and One Venus ~

You guys!  I'm SO excited to have Jen from Four Marrs and One Venus in da house!  I adore her!  Take a minute (or 120) and go over to her darling blog and follow along.  You won't be sorry!!

I blog over at:


So... I found this fantastic idea over at East Coast Creative, and let me just say those girls are crazy creative! I fell in love with their tutorial on stenciling an outdoor rug. Fell so hard that I ordered the rug right after I saw the post. {link to order yours!}
My rug{only $17 bucks!} was delivered 5 days later.
And here we are.
Done.. and I Love it!




I took care of business in my garage! Laid out that rug and grabbed all my supplies!




And away I went! 4 Steps- Easy Peasy Peeps!

1. Lay out your rug 

2. Spray some adhesive on the backside of your stencil, and lay on the rug.{Stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils..love them!}

3. Grab that White Spray Paint Can and go at it!{Use your grocery bags to block around the stencil so you don't get the overspray}

4. Stand back and check it out! {yes this is a step. Do it!}



So recently I updated my backyard to get it "Summer Readycreating a cozier sitting area... and NOW with my new fun rug.. it's even COZIER!



Whatcha Think? Cozier is Coziest Aye?




So what do you say? Are you grabbing a rug and getting your stencil on this weekend? I think you should!

-- Also you can see how I created that fun bench here!

Stop on by and say hi, wuzzzz up, hey-- whatever or however you say it- just Do! Would love to see you around!

Thanks again Meg for having me over today!







I love this rug!  Awesome job Jen and thanks for hanging over here today!  XOXO
