Most of us are experiencing winter weather like crazy these days. This kind of weather makes me want to do 1 of 2 things:
*Curl up on the couch and do nothing.
OR
*Redecorate and reorganize the whole house.
A few weeks ago, I was feeling a little of the latter coming on and decided that I'd tackle a small project during an afternoon. During this particular afternoon, it was sunny (gasp!) and above 50 degrees (gasp again!), so I felt like doing something kinda spring-ish.
A few years ago, we bought a welcome mat for our main entrance. It was all cute with flowers and bright and colorful and it was made from recycled materials which meant it was eco-friendly and it would last for a long time...oh and it was on sale! Perfect! However, like most things that get a lot of foot traffic, it began to show signs of wear and our once cute and colorful mat all of a sudden looked like this:
So, I decided to give it a little face lift. I used a couple of small paint brushes, some craft paint and turned it into this:
We wondered if it would wear off quickly, but so far, it's showing no signs of wear! And the recycled welcome mat lives on!
