Upcycled rugs

I love all the ways I'm seeing rugs recycled these days: as upholstery for ottomans and dining chairs; sewn together as poufs and dog beds; hung on the wall, and recycled as pillows.

Inspiring, no?

A client had this anthropologie rug in her former apartment, and it's simply too small for any of the rooms in her new, larger home.



With lovely crewel work-like texture, I'm excited to see it transformed into a pair of accent pillows for the master bedroom.

Have you upcycled any favorite old textiles?
