Updated Gel Rug

Are you familiar with "gel" rugs? 

Gel rugs have a spongy thickness, and they're supposed to make standing for any length of time; say washing dishes,  a little more comfortable.

I've seen them in lots of catalogs for anywhere from $70 - $100.  Luckily, I found mine a few years ago at TJ Maxx for about $20.







I recently saw this gel rug 'cover' advertised in the Solutions catalog.  

It inspired me to paint my rug.







I decided to update mine with  a chevron pattern.

  





The rug has a basket weave pattern already, so it was really easy to tape off for the chevron pattern.





                     
I used Rust-Oleum spray paint that I had on hand (ivory silk), and added 
a top coat to protect the finish .  
 
I may add a coat of polyurethane later just to be sure it's sealed well.













This is what I got when I peeled off the tape....like Christmas morning!

Have a wonderful weekend!
