Repurposed door mat

Hello everyone! Today I am sharing a repurposed door mat  diy project. 

 My friend Tami  from curb alert  originally posted about it here.

The girl is pure genius for coming up with this solution.  

I have since found other upcycled door mat projects!
People are spray painting them white and using them as art work on their walls, in all shapes and sizes.

   
    First off, do you know what this is?

Van dykes Restorers
{retail value $500.00}

This is a vent cover.  A lot of us have  the ugly white vents on our walls. They certainly are not the most attractive looking.  In fact, they can be an eye sore.

First let me show you what Tami did with hers...

She took her door mat and simply placed it over the vent...so much better right?

So I had to run right out and copy this idea....

Of course, I had to spray paint mine first.  This metallic copper was the perfect choice!

Ugly no more!
We just nailed  two small nails on top to hang the mat.
Cost of the mat, $13.00, spray paint $5.00.

Pretty awesome!
Thanks Tami for this wonderful idea and for sharing.

ENJOY the newbie party everyone.

MY GUIDELINES 

*Blogging 6 months or less and or less than 100 followers.

*Would love for you to become a new friend of mine as well on google friend connect.

*PLEASE turn off Word verification, makes commenting very difficult, and you do not need it.

Blogger does a great job of deterring spam comments.

*PLEASE visit a few other participants, that is what you are here for! 

*IF you find your link deleted, it is simply because you did not follow my simple guidelines.  

*PLEASE add my link or button to your blog and/or post.

Please limit your links to two per newbie party.

thank you.

I would also like to mention, that we all should be watermarking our photo's.  Which basically means, add your name or blog name to each photo.  With pinterest on the rise in popularity, I see many pins out there with no name.

Do realize any party you link up to, gives people free reign to pin away, which is great, however, no name on the photo, no credit.  I always source out my features and I try only to feature ones with your names on them, that is for your benefit. Even though the pin may lead back to my original post, people would clearly see it was your work, with a link back to YOUR blog.

Don't forget to get in on the Annie Sloan chalk paint giveaway
