Floorcloths

This is no aubusson rug....it is pure faux! Gunderwood studios are that good. This elaborate handpainted rug is the most incredible example of a floorcloth I have ever seen!

This is more of their work....amazing stuff!  I love the faux fringe on the edges.

Painted floorcloths have been around for centuries and still can add so much to an entry of a home.

Sophie Sarin also makes me smile with her mosaic floorcloth. How cool is it using the mosaic concept on a floorcloth? Sarin's work was recently featured by Daily Basics.

This gives you the scale of the whole design. Those red walls just make it pop!

Lucretia Moroni was one of the first artist to combine the look of hand woven oriental rugs into floorcloth designs. She combines silk screening with stenciling and hand painting on linen to create these incredible illusions.

Susie Morgan Wilburn took it one step further and painted a "floorcloth" for her table!  Floorcloths can add such a punch to a home for a small amount of money....get painting and let me know what you create!
