Why are rugs a billion dollars?
That is my first question. If you can give me a rational explanation I will give you a prize. Actually, I will just give you a pat on the back because I'm saving all of my money for a rug that I will be able to purchase in 2019. Tell me why??! Why oh why evil rug producers? Are carpets really magic? Is wool terribly hard to come by?! I see a lot of un-sheared sheep on TV (when do I see sheep on TV? I don't know...but it seems like I see them. Are there sheep at Downton Abbey?). Shave those sheep and make me a reasonably priced beautiful rug to break up the beige monotony that is my floor space. Thank you.
Now I have solved one rug riddle over at the apartamento. A rug improvement if you will.
1 ikea rug+ 1 can of paint + 1 me + 1 balcony + a few neighbors wondering what in the world I was doing
Here's the results!
ba-hum-rug before.
I like it.

Yes! WHY are rugs so expensive? It's ridiculous. Yours looks awesome, you'll have to tell me if the paint thing holds up.
That is such a great idea. We bough an ikea rug for under our kitchen table and I hate the color. I think I might have to try painting it to add some color. Thanks for sharring
Wowie that looks awesome. I've been puzzled by the same problem with rugs. So I found a carpet remnants store where you can pick from any of their inventory and they will make you a rug and bind it for $5 a yard. Its here in Utah but perhaps there's a carpet remnants store in CA that you could locate?
Your rug looks great! Way to go. I hate how expensive rugs are as well, I just keep putting off buying one. Love yours though!
AMEN. i HATE how expensive rugs are. its like they must be filled with gold or something weird. my friend did this project and i loved how it turned out. yours looks great too! i might just have to try it.
