For anyone out there wanting to paint fabric or rugs, simply use a CHALK paint (they are clay based) - no fabric softener or additives needed. The natural pigments of chalk paints will DYE the fibers of the rug, not sit ON TOP of the fibers like regular acrylic paints, which causes the cracking and the moment of hell demonstrated here. 😊 If you want to paint fabrics, upholstery, rugs, watch an Annie Sloan video or two where she demonstrates painting materials (or Debis Design Diaries, another inventor of chalk paint who paints rugs and sofas) and do yourself the favor of using a CHALK paint instead of an acrylic paint ❤

@LaughCryDIY Год назад

Pinning this!!!!!!!!! Very helpful.

@carolinejane8145 Год назад

I’ve used Annie Sloan paints in a few projects. They are fabulous. I didn’t know you could use them on rugs, filing that information for the future.

@Gwenny_Black Год назад

Exactly. This is what I actually wanna do with my armchair. It is grey and it is not going with my vibe. But I love it, it is so comfortable.

That is a nice glass top. mirrored top will somewhat hide the base of the table and glorious Pete. Any mirrored coffee table always makes me think someone in the house has an epic coke habit 🤣

Very true. Baguette does have a C problem she refuses to face. It’s catnip. I’ll be here all week, folks.

Yes, 100% yes to the antique mirror top 👍❤️

I’m so tempted, but I know it will hide Pete and some of the coffee table detail. But I am itching for something antiqued mirror. Maybe in an upcoming project.

@cristinasantana6602 Год назад

No peacock left behind 😂😂😂

@olbird7647 Год назад

Goodness me, what a worthy sequel to the rug saga. Hang on in there Peter! As always, my heart swells with joy to witness Lady Baguette's ( 🐈🌟) unwavering support of everything you strive for. Though tbh the swelling could just be too much cheese. And cake. I totally get your vision with the antiqued coffee table glass- it would compliment it's fabulousness.

@LaughCryDIY Год назад

Happy to report Baguette and Petey are getting on well.

I was nervous when you unrolled that new rug. Surprisingly, they worked!! Like, does your decorating genius ever end!?

@KarMa-ws3ll Год назад

What a bruttaly honest review of your rug hack 😅sometimes it's just trial and error to get where u want to be :-) by the way, if u want a really spezific and or big sized area rug on a budget, u can always buy carpet and let the seller finish it with a machine (there is serging, binding and fringing). Serging and binding usually isn't that expensive, at least where I live. Myself I dont have any bc I can't be trusted with a liquid - or, let's face it: any food at all 😂

@LaughCryDIY Год назад

This is a GREAT idea! Never even thought about it.

@kimeejae Год назад

Way to fight for your dream🦚 I know Peter appreciates it! Baguette is like Love me as I am - which we do🥰 I like the layered rug look. An antiqued mirror top would take the coffee table to the next level ❤

@roxiegs348 Год назад

Yes, use a framed oval mirror for your coffee table. That would be awesome. Love Baguette. She cares only when it will benefit her. Typical kitty. Haha.

@alisonhicks9298 Год назад

If you change to a mirror you won't be able to see Peter! All that work to not see him??NOOOOO!😢 I do think you found the perfect rug to highlight Peter and that gorgeous couch. If you ever decide to give up the couch, I'll take it😜 Baguette was so chill, that cushion/bed must be extra comfy.

@LaughCryDIY Год назад

You’re right about the mirror. I know you wouldn’t be able to see the coffee table detail either.

@alicebabler9996 Год назад

I love that you named the peacock! I have an Italian chandelier that I named Audrey II because she has vines and flowers creepingall over.😂 I, too, think you should keep the clear glass so you can enjoy the full view of Peter. Another enjoyable "real" video.

I had a cotton rug and just used acrylic paint watered down and it worked fine. I’ve washed it and folded it repeatedly and it’s still good. It stayed soft. I also used a remnant of carpet hand sewed some woven cotton binding ribbon in a matching colour around the edge to prevent fraying and spray painted a pattern. Then lay it on a non slip mat pad ( because carpet has that foamy backing that will stick to stuff) and again it worked.

@LaughCryDIY 10 месяцев назад

So happy to hear it worked for you! I think it’s a great hack/idea.

@fbz2415 Год назад

I am happy you saved Petey, I cut a rug once and put white glue all around, it is a little rectangule, tje glue didn't work, so I put masking tape all around under the rug, it has worked much better

@LaughCryDIY Год назад

Ah! Good to know! If he starts to fray, that’ll be a good hack.

@marcelleblakerartistmaker1095 Год назад

I’m glad you salvaged the peacock. I would have too. I’m a little concerned about Petey’s head though. Might you use some carpet tape to secure his head in place so that you or guests don’t accidentally kick it around?

I don't think the mirror would cover too much of petey. I do agree with another commenter that said it invokes coke party vibes, but yknow, so what if its a multifunction piece? I dont love the greeny teal glass w the brass either. The base looks older than the top, agree antiqued would be pretty. Might be a fun DIY!

@LaughCryDIY Год назад

I did. But I wasn’t sure how bad fraying would be, so I thought I might as well keep a portion of the rug intact. In a dream world, he would be perfectly shaped and gorgeous. But I’ll take him as he is now.

On a higher pile rug, I wonder if using thick bleach as “paint” would work better than fabric paint? Or, if the rug is wool or natural fiber, you could even use hair dye!! 😯 Ohhh I am feeling inspired 😁… I HATE my current living room carpet with a passion and I want to tear it out! Buuuut🤔😏 what if I cut out a section and diy my dream carpet!🤩 I might just have to try it!! Idk how yet as I’m fairly certain it’s made of synthetic fiber, I’m gonna have to do my research on dyes and see what will work 😊!

I want to be able to take my rug and throw it in the washer or shampoo over it with my machine without a worrying if all ny work is going to be ruined. But that's just me. But the low pile rug with spray paint looks cool. Also as for your comment I think changing the top to the antique mirrored top would look very nice. The warmer brassy tones it gives off would go nice with the colors you have going on and give it an elevated look in my opinion 😉

@letsgetreal3076 Год назад

I watched you paint this rug at the time and wondered how it would go, so great to hear the update. Did you consider chopping off Peter's floppy little head when you cut him out? 😂 I would have been tempted to just end up with a peacock patterned rug. Sorry Peter!

Antiqued mirror top sounds cool, but, as you say, it will hide Peter🦚. Could you do an antique mirror tray and put it on part of the coffee table? Say less then half, and on the window side, so Pete still gets to shine? And Baguette doesn’t have to talk to us, many of your viewers are probably also cat slaves who completely understand the ‘I do not speak unless you have displeased me’ thing. Awesome rug hack - sorry your first attempt was disappointing!

@fromhumblebeginnings7798 Год назад

My advice to you is to try DIY paints for painting any type of fabric or rug. They become like dyes for the textile and are absorbed into the fibers so there isn't the ability to crack from sitting on top of the fibers. www.youtube.com/@DebisDesignDiary has tutorials on how to paint fabric etc. The clay-based paint is highly pigmented and therefore the colors remain vivid. No extra supplies needed life fabric softener etc. Just water and DIY paint. ENJOY!!
