rug experience

I've seen so many rug makeovers all over the blogosphere, but none got my attention like this one did. Shelley at House of Smith's shared this great guide to her awesome DIY experiment.

These are the colors i've chosen for my project. What do you think?

"Dinner Mint" and "Feather White" for the horizontal stripes and "Youthful Coral" for the border.
