Rug DIY {weaving two together}

Forever ago a few of you asked how I stitched my two World Market jute rugs together. I being the bad blogger is just now getting around to sharing, for that I apologize. Here is the before...

I bought two 6x9 rugs for my oddly shaped room. Custom would have been too expensive as you all know I live on a debt free budget. I highlighted the JUTE TWINE I used in red so you can see the steps easier. To begin wrap the twine in and out of the both rugs at a thick point then knot. The spacing (holes) in this jute rug makes it easy to push through with your fingers.

Be sure to pull tight as you go to keep the two rugs tight together for a clean finish.

You simply go down through one space in the rug and up through the opposing rug over and over.

As you can see I tried to keep the spacing as even as possible.

This is the finished product! The twine I used blends easily into the jute so no one is the wiser. Both Jenny and Bryn did posts on using colored twine to stitch two rugs together. This would also be such a fun look!

Let me know if anything is unclear or if you have any questions!!!!

A Boys Room {mine to be exact}

KJ's room is about finished. I only need to conquer a few organizational items and then I will call it a day. It was a simple plan, but one that I think will last many years. The only changes that will need to be made as he gets older is the art, for now it represents his 5 year old self perfectly and that makes me quite happy. To be honest I am tired of being in a constant state of change. I am SO ready to be in a place where I can just be and I am almost there!

On my to-do list so I can finally give it rest:

finish painting the house

Do Ellie's room which I am so excited about!

A small kids art table in the dining area

Hang the art that has been sitting on my floor for the last 6 mths.

Laundry room overhaul (I need more organization)

back yard transformation (crossing my fingers on this one, any locals know resonable landscapers????)

Adding Pieces

Although this room was deemed "done" I was able to add a few more things... of course. The living room showcases my love of neutrals, texture, and rustic simplicity. In the end it seemed a tad flat and needed some shine. When I came across this end table at Homegoods I knew it was the missing piece. I adore the organic feel of it. I also knew I wanted something for that vintage metal wire basket. Once Pottery Barn had their orbs go on sale I snatched them up. I like how they fill the basket, but don't feel heavy. It was the lightness this room needed. Now it's done...
