A week ago, I revealed my new Living Room to you guys… thank you for all the sweet comments! Today I am going to show you how I updated a thrifted table, and made it into a one-of-a-kind {kid friendly} piece of furniture.

I hand-sewed each piece of elastic, {spaced approx. 10 inches apart} down the length of the rug. I used five strips in total. This is what the rug looked like when I was done. Then I just lifted the coffee table on one end and slipped the legs through the elastic pieces. The rug literally “slipped” right on!
It stays in place pretty well, but I may add some of that non-slip material in a few spots underneath, just to make it totally secure. I wasn’t originally planning to leave the rug tassels showing, but I actually like them now! And if I ever want to change things up, I can easily remove the rug, snip off the elastic and use it how it was originally intended — on the FLOOR 🙂
{Oh, and it’s the last day for both of these awesome giveaways! They end at midnight (EST) tonight. So hurry and enter if you haven’t already!}

This is a great idea! I’ll have to do this as well. But first, I might need to buy a new rug. 🙂
Have a nice day!
Such a fun idea, Holly! 🙂
That looks awesome!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
How simple but nice it came out.
Would probably work even better in
houses without kids. Great idea.
