A month ago I did a post of the trials and errors of my overdyed office rug, and I am super happy with the result, BUT....
Remember the 2' x 3' we bleached 1/2 dozen times in preparation to sample the process? Well, since not one speck of color left the rug during the process, it has been sitting neglected in my garage, and Bethany said to just get rid of it-- she didn't want it.
Today I thought, let me just TRY it ( which has got to be a sickness of a serious DIY'er), so I poured the rest of the turquoise dye I had ( only about a tsp.) and about 1/4 cup of green dye in a hot dye bath on my stove, added some vinegar and let the rug sit in it all day.
Now this is what Im talking about! This is how intense I had wanted my office rug to turn out. I am so in love with the vibrant color. One of us has GOT to style a room with this.
Lesson learned: never give up! (duh)
