How I Made a Large Custom Rug for under $100

My family living room is pretty big and I have been searching for a large area rug for it for quite a while.     Large area rugs are pricey and most of them are patterned and I wanted a solid  rug. 

I have been  "making do"  with a small white rug as you can see in the first photo.    The second photo shows a little bit of the new rug I put in the dining area.   
It's not exactly the same as the one in the family are as  I wanted a little darker rug under the table where we eat all the time   (won't show spots as much as a lighter rug)

I started with just one rug as you can see in the first photo,     but I went back and bought a second rug to add to it.

I found my rugs at Ross for $45 each

I learned how to join rugs on HGTV.        Here's a link to it .......https://www.hgtv.com/design/make-and-celebrate/handmade/how-to-make-one-large-custom-area-rug-from-several-small-ones

Here's the option we chose to join our rugs using duct tape.......

I am so pleased with the result!

I always enjoy a visit from you guys.......come back soon!
