Rubber Door Mat Wall Art 2

Decorating in these hard economical times can

be quite challenging for many of us.

After much thought I decided

to take my Rubber Door Mat Wall Art

from my previous POST

and create a statement wall by using

several of them...

I used the same Heirloom White Satin

spray paint from my local Home Depot.

It takes roughly two coats before sanding.

Also the paint seals that rubber smell

after a day or two while allowing them

 to air out after spray painting.

I used a combination of 80 & 120 grit

sand paper on my hand sander

to achieve that aged worn feel and

give that illusion of a vintage iron piece.

As you can see the rubber mats

each have a different thickness.

 When I first created this in 2009

I only used square shaped mats.

I purchased the halfmoon shape

at the Family Dollar Store. Walmart has

a similiar one ranging from 7.99 -9.99

Paint cost was 3.87 a can and I used two cans for

four rubber mats.

I staged the family room to show

how multiple rubber mats would look

for a creative and cost effective wall decor.

Keeping the total cost perfect for

 beautiful budget decorating.

Simple, elegant and easy to create...

Frugal at its finest!

I will be linking up this week to Kathleen's
