A (more) Fitting Rug

As seen on a previous post, I've recently found a couple of ottomans from the thrift store. I threw the doormat (you see here) down at the time . . . knowing I'd eventually need something larger.

It's no doubt there are some cute outdoor rugs out there (many at a high price, of course, and none of which that claim to stay clean (-looking) around a wild, ravenous dog all day). So I sought out to find something relatively cheap as well as something that I knew would remain somewhat attractive.

Nothing.


Finally, I resorted to what a knew best . . . my $6 "Pier 1" doormats. I love them. Having 3 already, I know how (deceptively) clean they stay.

Copying a similar pattern seen in "Better Homes and Gardens," I put my . . . excuse me, Salsa's new outdoor rug together.






Now, I do believe, we're good to go!

That is too cute! I think Salsa likes her new nap mat! You did a great job putting it together. I always enjoy watching you create new things! Way to go, Holly!

Love the rug! You can buy those sewn together like that at World Market, but it is much more fun to make it yourself!! :)
