Pergola Rug

So I told you a little while ago about the rug I was working on for our pergola....well, it's done!!!  It took a LOT longer than I anticipated but most ideas from Pinterest do. Have you ever done something you saw on Pinterest that ended up being easier than it looked?  I know I haven't LOL.

The final tally for my 10' x 14' rug was $70.

I bought two of these rugs for $18 each.  You know those cheap thin blue grey indoor outdoor rugs?

Well here's the finished result... It took two gallons of brown paint ($12 each) and a quart of blue paint ($9). I did use some left over paint I had for two of the stripes to match some fabric I have picked out.  I love the end result and can't wait to have a BBQ!
