DIY: Stenciled Floor + Stenciled Rug

September 8, 2011

Posted 09/12

Since we are renting our home, stenciling the floor is not an option:/ But I had to share this cool idea for any homeowners who are looking for way to spruce up a room!…especially if your hardwood floors are beat up!

I want to add a splash of yellow in Veronica’s room so I also loved this idea of a stenciled jute rug! Jute rugs are more affordable so its a good alternative for tight budgets.

By the way, you know who is awesome with interior finds? Michelle. And I am lucky enough to meet up with her tonight. We are heading to the local Fashion Night Out:) Will share pics soon. I kind of wish they had a live Rachel Zoe Project show today. Would love to watch that craziness! 😉

We send out helpful tips and resources, and inside news just for our email fam.

It’s amazing what a coat of paint can do. I’ve been looking for flooring ideas for a back porch redo. Adding this to the list of possibilities. Thanks for sharing.

Such a fantastic invention, I must say! Especially if you have a cat who barfs on rugs…like ours. But our floors are so lovely, I don’t have the heart to paint them!

The stenciled floor looks great! We’re also renting right now so I’m always bummed when I can’t try permanent DIYs like this

Stenciled floors? How cool is that?! Love that rug too. Yellow is perfect for little baby Veronica 🙂

Happy Thursday, friend!

I saw painted floors in some magazine last year & thought how cool! If I didn’t rent I would look into it more 🙂

That stenciled floor is gorgeous! Especially the pattern that was used.
And I love that you offered up the rug for a not so bold option!
Great post Anna!

Clever idea for home Owners, too! It is so easy to change out an inexpensive rug or to move t to another area… And I agree with
Emily (Simply Southern) that it’s Super on wood floors. Thanks for sharing SMART ideas!

The stenciled floor is divine! Don’t you hate being a renter sometimes? I just want to paint my walls! It’s a good thing you can at least get away with a stenciled carpet — and bring it with you to your next home.

Love the stencilled floor – I saw one ages ago on either Design Sponge or Apartment Therapy and have been intrigued ever since!
