Let's face it, stylish, fun and colorful rugs are ridiculously expensive. I have a boring plain rug I bought from IKEA years ago, little did I know with some inspiration, imagination and some paint, I could have a high-end looking one of a kind rug!
So take that boring rug or piece of plywood (how cool?!), go to your local flooring store for some highly discounted remnants, or check the thrift store and craigslist and get to painting your rugs! Check out the following for some great DIY painted rug ideas.
