    Absolutely fabulous, Julie! What a charming, welcoming spot and your rug ties it all together beautifully. Looks like it's straight out of a Ballard catalog! Love that these rugs are so reasonable, and when mine's done I'd love to try your design. Thanks for the mention!

    I am getting ready to move in the next month and have a tremendous outdoor area. What it does need is a great outdoor rug. And to be honest…the blog world has made me a lot more frugal. I LOVE your rug and maybe even more I LOVE the price! Thanks for sharing!!

    Yay Julie! Congrats on your Shabby Nest feature! 15 minutes ago I just finished my chevron skirt that you showed us how to make…LOVE IT!!! It took longer to cut it out and change the zipper foot than it did to make it!

    i feel like a dork asking this, but…will the paint run if it gets wet (like from rain or spilled drink)?

      Good question! No, it won't run. Once it's dry, it's permanent 🙂

      Hi, Lynn! If you save that image in the post to your computer, you should be able to print it out in various smaller sizes, depending on what percentage you choose when printing! So glad you like it!

    Hi! I love this, and it's just what I was looking for- do you think I could cut that rug to size, or would it fall apart?

    Thanks!

      Jackie, I think there's a good chance you can cut this without it falling apart. There's no binding around the edge, so I think it could work. I haven't tried it yet, but I have thought about it! If you do try it, be sure to let me know how it turns out!
