Painted Rug Design on Front Porch

9 years ago

I want to have painted on my farmhouse front porch a rug and am having trouble finding just the right design. I don't want anything too busy or seasonal specific. The artist is willing to get stencils, and even though there are hundreds on websites, I don't see the perfect one. The photo is the section I want an approx. 7x10 painted.

Any suggestions? thanks!

I just love the idea of the painted/stenciled rug on your porch. Have you looked on done a search for painted porch rugs on Pinterest?...

I wouldn't do that, It won't look good after a few years and it's too much work. I'd buy a pretty outdoor rug people use it for camping, it's about $150-200.

Yup, buy a piece of vinyl and paint/stencil the underside. That way you have a rug and if you don't like it you can replace it.
