French Style Aubusson Floor Cloth Rugs






I'm so exited to preview my new Hand painted floor Cloth rugs. I love them , they are so durable and functional. I loved the idea that my art work would be functional not just hanging on a wall but actually have a purpose. After doing tons of research, my rugs are pet, spill and heavy traffice friendly! You can mop them with a mild detergent thanks to many layers of poly sealer.Needless to say these works of art are so time consuming, alot of prep work before you even get to start on the design. They lay flat on wood flooring and carpet as well. I hand painted al lthe roses and used beautiful scroll stencils for borders. I have tons of new designs coming soon. Since money is tight for everyone I thought it would be so nice to paint something we all need, rugs!! I'm a rug-A-holic I buy them and toss them out frequently after they get worn. The floor cloth will be around for a very long time!! Who could throw out a work of art! I have so many ideas for designs not only with roses but many different styles. Beach, french country, to name a few. Thanks for looking and hope you all have a lovely weekend coming up Hugs, Kimberly
