Goldie Barrett, a long time friend of this website and it's fans, presents
us with "Designer Carpet". And Wow! What a job she did! She chose two leaf
designs and stenciled them randomly over the carpet to create a one of a
kind design. The olive green on beige carpet really creates a dramatic look!
I love stenciling carpet. It's easy, it's fast and it's so beautiful!
Thank you Goldie! It's just exquisite!
Designer's tip:
Stenciling carpet is super easy. First,
vacuum and pre-wash the carpet. Acrylic paints can be used, but rather than
"pounce" the brush, "swirl" it over the openings. This helps to give you a
nice, crisp image.
Be careful not to use too much paint as
the carpet will "harden" in that spot. Allow to dry completely before
walking on it.
