Carissa's Home Tour...(Via Made By Girl)

Canadian Blogger Carissa has a great DIY project on her blog where she creates her VERY own chevron patterned rug. That's right! Let's just say, it's super pretty & NOT cheesy looking. She basically bought a flat loop area rug & hand painted ALL the zig zags! You can see the tutorial here

Carissa was so awesome to share some of her home with all of us here on MadeByGirl & I'm so glad about that! I can't get over how LARGE the area rug is, right??  Let her know what you think of her home. You can also check out her blog, The fabulous Design File for more inspiration!












thanks Carissa!

  10. I'm loving all of the wild prints and cheery colours! Great rug, too. I DIY'd a chevron table - never thought about doing a rug. Some folks get all the genius! Now I'm eyeing up what other goodies could use a dose of chevron . . .

  19. I absolutely love that rug. Quick question though, does the paint stay? Like if you have any water spill or such, can it be cleaned safely?
