I have a slight obsession with textiles: pillows, tea towels, rugs (especially rugs)… you name it, I love it. So when I spotted this tutorial for making your own woven rug, I got pretty excited!

We’ve all seen it: the cracking, vinyl-covered thrift store furniture. It only cleans up so well and the usual attack plan is to simply re-cover it with some upholstery fabric. This bench was headed toward the same usual fate until makeover genius Morgan Satterfield got a brilliant idea:

Many of the projects we feature are quick, done-in-an-afternoon endeavors (which is awesome). But, sometimes you want something that you can pick up and work on over a period of time (like, say, the entire winter because what else is there to do*?). If you’re looking for a project to keep you occupied while you hibernate this season, I’ve got just the thing for you: a DIY latch hook rug!
This beauty will take a few weeks to complete, depending on how much time you dedicate to it. Continue Reading
