ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week we’re doing something very bold, colorful, and crazy: making over a rug for my living room with paint and a healthy dose of delusion.

This is the epitome of making it "your own". There is a paint called DIY that is clay based and it literally dyes the fabric, leather, wool, velvet, whatever and it just needs to be very watered down. Colors are gorgeous. You, my dear, did a MAGNIFICENT job of using what you have. It is amazing, bright, maximalist, - just like you!! Keep up the great work!
Wowowow. I’d never heard of this before! That’s so cool!

The person who created the diy paint has furniture flipping videos that may be your jam!
@@britegrl03 love it! Thank you.
Wonderful
It's 3:30 in the morning. I'm a little buzzed. I can't sleep. Let's fuggin go.

Yasssss, gurl!
This is the energy I NEED 😂
😂
Yasssss
Katy! This rug straight-up glowed way, waaay up after you did your DIY thing to it. It turned out so amazing and looks better than the original design! Very well done. 👏
Thank you, thank you. I’m so relieved with the final result.
You really are THE Queen of DIY exploration....boldly going where others fear to (quite literally) tread 😁
Bravo! Looks great 👏👏👏👏👏
and yoohoo La Baguette 🐈🌟
It was a terrifying journey, and I lost faith many times. Yet she persisted.
Oh, this turnt out fantastic. The gold background color reminds me of antique Japanese painted screens (where they used gold leafing for the background). But the placement of the sun really takes it to another level! Perfection.
PS also in theme with your peacock chairs!
OK Yes! Totally! Like this on a screen would be awesome.
Yep! Not to mention the peacock wallpaper and things I’ve used in other makeovers. Sorry, not sorry, Baguette. We love peacocks too!
You are a genius! I don’t care what that rug feels like because it’s gorgeous! Nicely done. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Haha. Thank you for getting me. I feel seen.
Also, your t-shirt game is very strong in this video. And the rug came out beautifully.
Thank you. 🙏 Y2K 4ever, baby!
What’s up laugh, cry, click on the fucken video within five minutes of it having been uploaded DIY crew ✌️
😂 and I’m over here sweating to get it uploaded by midnight my time, knowing my cheap wh*res are WAITING.
🤣🤣🤣
@@LaughCryDIY its like you know us 😂👌
Beautiful.
🦚
Thank you for addressing the internet's concerns! Also the feather bits looked hellish.
😂 it was a traumatic journey for us all.
Beautiful rug!
❤️❤️❤️
Damn girl! You're rug is next level WOW!! I love it.. you're so right about finding the rug you want, I'm currently going through that now...most definitely out of my price range when I find one that comes close. I can't wait to see where this baby is going😫
It’s so hard!!!!! Truly, it can be the hardest thing in a room!
@@LaughCryDIY absolutely😫
This rug > everything
🙏 I agree
OMG! We get a home tour?! Sooooo excited!
Also, I came for the host, stayed for the rug. Awesome as always, Katy!
Yea, after only two years, the home tour is finally coming. 😂
Whaaaatttt?!?! That's a hell of a transformation! Love it 😍😍😍
I’m shocked by it myself!
The rug looks way better. I totally agree about that gray! Too dull, I don’t do gray either. Amazing transformation.👍
Yay! No more gray! Should be outlawed. (Just kidding.)
You fearlessly go where no one has gone before! Visually, the rug is beautiful. Re the stiffness, it may soften a bit after repeated vacuuming.
I was hoping! With some good old wear and tear.
You are brave! The rug is bold! We saw Baguette! Love it 🥰 Love it 🥰 Love it 🥰 The last color on the rug turned out great. Looking forward to the house tour 🎉
Baguette was very uninterested in this project for the most part because she doubted my vision, but somehow we made it work.
@@LaughCryDIY She is all about that sass!
WOW YOU REALLY DO LIVE LIFE ON THE EDGE!!!!!
I love the lengths you go to keep gray (blah!) out of your life!!
YOU REALLY ARE A RAY OF SUNSHINE 🌞 AND SO IS YOUR STUNNING AND GORGEOUS 🦚 RUG!!!! WOWWWWW!!! 💙
I don’t believe in gray rights. Sorry! Hahahahhahha
@@LaughCryDIY BABAAAHAHAHAA!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gray Rugs Matter.
The rug company needs to see this and modify their rug accordingly! Well done!!
I should tell them!
Well done! Very nice change of color :)
Thank you 💛🧡🦚
GORGEOUS!!! Love your channel and your humor. Due to my mother's need for grey and beige and dingy white, your work is therapeutic and beautiful. Also, you are proof that maximalists have a great sense of humor that greige lovers simply don't. Thank you for your work. It is appreciated! The animals are great, too! Baguette's sense of humor is delightfully dry. Class act!
Wow. Every word of this has touched my maximalist heart. And I am so here for healing your aesthetic trauma. It’s real, and no one talks about it. Hahahha. 😂🙏
It looks 10 times better!! ❤
Thank you!!
I loved how it turned out! Please do an update of how it holds up so I can see if this is worth the pain since I am also having Rug Struggle.
Hahaha. That’s the perfect phrase. The stRUGgle is real. And I will!!
Katy, are you freaking kidding me?! This is awesome. Well done mate!
It was terrifying, but we made it through!
Best advice on the internet thus far “try not to breath or blink or have any human reflexes”. 😂. Love it!
FACTS
Katie it’s beautiful! Keep being bold. You are a genius!❤
Thank you! I can’t believe we pulled it off.
I recently discovered your channel while looking up decorating ideas for my new apartment! I love your humor and style, I've been going through and watching all of your videos off and on this past week. Thanks for making such fun videos! (Also Team Orange Cats! I love Baguette, she's so cute--she looks very similar to my orange cat, Monkey!)
Oh, I’m so happy to hear! Welcome to the land of cheap wh*res. Haha. And hi to Monkey! Orange cats are the craziest and the best.
Fun episode! I'll admit, when you said 'paint a rug', my eyebrow raised and I briefly clutched my pearls. I really like how it turned out. I'm getting a hooked rug vibe from it. I think it would also look great on a wall if walking on it was too much or it was too stiff. But I really like how it looks as a rug 😃
That is actually a brilliant idea for a tapestry!!!!!! Wow, you’re inspiring me!
This looks great!! The colors pulled the yellow out of the feathers. Good job, great choice!!!
Thanks, Jade. It was very scary. Haha.
Okay but it looks amazing!! I know the maker of the rug would kick themselves for not having this as the original design.
Right?! I need to tell them!
That looks FABULOUS!!!! Can’t wait to see it styled in your space. Guess I’ll have to tune back in 😉
Y’all come back now! Haha
Wow. Very cool. I admit I was like this might suck-it might rock. Amazing.
Girl, me too
Wow! What an amazing difference!
I was shocked it worked.
Can't wait for next week's video.
🤗
Absolutely genius love the finished product!!
I was scared, but we did it!
The audacity...and the willingness to make sacrifices for all of humanity. You're soon up for a Nobel Prize.
It is hard being a hero!
That turned out just super!!!! What a brain you have- I am always amazed at what you come up with. ⭐⭐❤️
I was scared, but we made it!
Oh my goodness! This is stunning! Who knew that you can paint rugs? Not me - but I do now. Thank you for your concise instruction. Straight in to my saved folder called simply "WOW". Hubby is going to be thrilled when I find a suitable rug, purchase and then start to paint it. Not. 😂🖌🎨🖌😂
Just remember: lots of fabric softener and sanding. I ran out and was impatient. But that should help it much more.
It’s amazing! I love that you’re doing your maximal thing while sticking to a budget
It’s my fave thing to do. Thanks for watching!
Love the rug!
Know what its like to search for the rug of your dreams. I had a vision of the colors and designi wanted for my new house. Couldn't afford tradional rugs. Finally found an indoor outdoor in the colors/design i wanted. Hate the texture, but love the look.
😭 I feel that pain! This texture is not ideal. But it’s the best I can do for now.
This was stressful sooo many little crevices to paint.....but totally worth the ride....looks way better n great colors 💛🧡🩷😻 Awesome job!!!! 👏 🙃
I’m still stressed 😂😂😂
I feel you sister!! I can search forever for things that my brain has decided are exactly what I want. However, I almost never find it and have to realize that I am a unique weirdo who have to do it myself😂😂
And OMG the rug is AMAZING!!😍
EXACTLY! I mean, I’ve been looking for months and months. I even considered getting a rug printed. But it would have been more of a mat texture. But when people ask why I DIY, it’s because what’s in my brain doesn’t exist!!!!
@@LaughCryDIY Well put. That is exactly how i feel 😂😭 someday i hope i get as good at DIY as you are. 😍
Katy, it looks really fab!! I never would have thought of doing that, pretty clever! 😍 Another fun video from LCDIY. Have a lovely weekend ❤️ Stacey
Thank you 😘😘😘 It was a risk, but we had to take it!
You made it look sooo much better!
Thank you, thank you!
Love this idea! Quite the improvement on the rug too ❤
It was a very scary journey. But it worked.
looks great!
It's beautiful!
Thank you!
Well done Katie! It's soooo good
Thank you!!!!
amazing
BRAVO!!!
🙏🙏🙏
Love the colors!
🧡💛🦚
Wow, that turned out great!!
I’m so relieved!
Gorgeous results, as usual. ❤
🧡🦚
LOVE!!!
Thank you for watching!
Wow, that turned out great!,
Thank you! I was very relieved.
Wow! Looks soo good!
Thank you!
Looks great to me! ❤😊
Thank you!!!!
Amazing choice of colours so much nicer ❤
Hey yes that one worked espec with the curved colour changes
So glad it did!
Wow. I love this. Very inspiring!
Make sure to see the follow up vid to find out how it went. th-cam.com/video/7VEk_fWB6RQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XDOrEcPfC2wz9a25
that turned out great!
I’m so relieved!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Of course, you(the best) would find a way to paint rugs without them feeling like artificial turf!! 😀 I can't wait to paint my ugly gray rug!! ❤️ You!!
The key is lots of fabric softener/water and sanding! I’ll be honest, I was impatient and my fabric softener ran out, so I threw caution to the wind because I didn’t know if it would work at all. And I only did one coat of the color (again, impatience). So I didn’t sand the top coat. It’s stiffer because of that.
Wow, it looks amazing! What a transformation!
Thank you! It was a journey.
Genius
BEAUTIFUL 👏🏾❤
Gotta watch the follow-up 😉 th-cam.com/video/7VEk_fWB6RQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=a2w8eeClrZNQ3c4_
Just WOW❣️❣️❣️ Great job!!
Make sure to watch the update to see how it fared. Haha. 😬 th-cam.com/video/7VEk_fWB6RQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NuEF9F_njk0fMzt1
This is aaaawwwwwssssoooommmmmeeeeee 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Thank you! It was touch and go, but we got it!
Gorgeous 🦚
Thank you 💛🧡🦚
Girl! You rocked this! It looks awesome! I love everything here. The name of your channel (because DIY projects don't always work out). The commentating throughout was funny too (when I was a social worker, we constantly talked ourselves through chaos and panic by sayin "it's fine" when everything was indeed on fire). The style that you gave to that rug was just crazy. The company who made the rug should be thanking you because I would totally buy your rug over whatever that was in the beginning. lol I would have walked right past it. You have an eye. Most importantly, you've got heart!
Thank you so much for watching! Lol I can only imagine how many times you “it’s fined” in that career. Shoutout to you. DIY can be hell and people need to be honest about it 😂
LOOOOOOOOOOOVE it!
Just found your channel , I love it and your personality…gonna binge watch! New subbie here!👍👏👏👏💕
Aw, thank you! So glad you’re here.
This remains one of my favorite projects of LaughCryDIY because it’s so impressive and such an improvement ❤
We love Witchery
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! I just bought a rug that I love the pic as well but not the colors and was looking for bold encouragement to paint it the colors I wanted! THANK YOU SO MUCH! SUPER EXCITED TO GET STARTED!!!
Thank you for watching! One note: I did an update on how it really worked out, which was not so great with me. But you can see the top comment here has all the tips on what to do right. th-cam.com/video/7VEk_fWB6RQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QlLbp4k2emY9vTOq
You did an amazing job
I tried! They don’t all turn out like you want ‘em to.
I love it! I have a runner I want to paint
Lots of fabric softener and sanding in between coats!!!! Other people have some great tutorials. For me, once I ran out of fabric softener, my doubt and impatience made me throw cushion to the wind, so it is definitely stiffer than it could have been.
Holyyyyyy shiiiiiiiiiiit!!!!! GIRL!
😃😃😃
"My mortal enemy: the color gray."
I FELT that in the very depths of my existence. It feels so good to be seen.
No gray allowed! Haha. Glad I’m not alone!
Katyyyyyy!! This is sooooo goooood!! I loved it! Wow!!! Girl, you can create whatever your beautiful, cheap, patient, hard-to-satisfy heart wants, damn I feel so powerful just by seeing you! Yayyyy the tour!! Is Baugette going through a crisis?
Hahahhahaha. She was not interested in this project at ALL. I think she had her doubts and if it went poorly, she didn’t want it ruining her brand. 😂
😂😂😂😂
Good job. Would love to try it but the way my hands are set up I'd have paint everywhere
It was definitely tricky. I barely pulled it off. 😂
Was looking for someone doing this because I've been thinking about it and I couldn't find anything till now so thank you!
I’m gonna give an update on this rug in an upcoming episode! FYI, I would only recommend it for a very low pile or mat-style rug. I was impatient and didn’t thin the paint enough with softener, as I ran out, so it didn’t get down to the base of the fibers. So the gray fibers underneath started to show through and drive me crazy.
I’ve got to say I was nervous about this one! I actually felt anxious watching this video 😮 BUT… it turned out Absolutely Fabulous, well done Katy!! 👏🏻 You are very brave! I wouldn’t try this myself though 😂 I hope Baguette liked it.
I was so nervous. I cut out the 100 more times I said, “I don’t know about this…😬”
@@LaughCryDIY 🤣
Great job … I love it! Are you tempted to slightly brighten the feathers? ❤
I meant to mention on camera that the colors look soooo bold on camera. I couldn’t get the color correction well. The yellow/orange really overpowers on screen but in real life it’s a little more subdued.
I clicked this video so fast when I saw what you were going to do. Thumbed it up before I even watched. Nuke that pukey grey, baby!
Hahahhahahhhaa. That should be my channel tagline.
Fabric softener
My first time seeing qny of your vids...you had me rolling in the floor laughing😂😂😂😂absolutely love you and laughed so much bc I do the craziest diy projects...literally making my hubby help me do an elevator bed in our guest room as we speak😂😂😂😂😂...I love your rug, its my all time favorite diy ever!! And, Im a new sub...u my spirit animal sista😂
Aw, so glad you dig it! And thank you for the sub. Love a fellow crazy diy-er. That said, catch the follow-up vid to this one to see how it did…th-cam.com/video/7VEk_fWB6RQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HDgYGfH4w4JnZM-4
Have to say, I kind of doubted this would work, was worried for your peacock. But the peacock's life is now sunny. And the rug will probably get less crispy over time ... wonder if combing the pile when you need some mindfulness would help ;-)
That’s a great idea! Haha. I never thought about that.
California para siempre!
Hell yeah. Do you know about TK California???
@@LaughCryDIY uh no, I do not.
@@Lullalies haha. He’s a friend/TikToker who talks about why California is the best state. It’s his merch! cfg.store
@@LaughCryDIY ahhhh
You took a $100 dollar rug and turned it into a $400 rug. It is SO much better than it was before! Whoever decided to put a gray background behind the peacock should be arrested.
My thoughts exactly!!!!!!!!!!
Hey does the rug still feel soft I want to try but I’m kinda nervous
Hi hi. Answer: no. I didn’t use enough fabric softener since I ran out so it was the texture of a jute rug. If you are wanting to get your rug just one color, I would recommend this overdye technique with dye: www.ritdye.com/2016/02/18/sweet-paul-overdyed-rug/
I like it but would have been tempted to brighten some of the colours in the peacock too :-D
I meant to mention on camera that the colors look soooo bold on camera. I couldn’t get the color correction well. The yellow/orange really overpowers on screen but in real life it’s a little more subdued.
The glove was a great idea..how else would you get into the nooks... Ooo how about one of those silicone head massagers for the shower?
If only…
I have a low pile rug that's beige. It doesn't have any pictures or pattern on it. It's just all one color. I'd like to make it more of a bluish gray. Would you use the white on it first and then put color or just go straight for the color? The color I'm wanting to go to would be a little darker than the existing color, if that makes sense.
I would just go straight on, BUT if you’re just doing one color and not doing a specific pattern like I did, I would use this technique www.ritdye.com/2016/02/18/sweet-paul-overdyed-rug/.
I love it! Can you have your own show and come do my house please and thank you. 🥰
Can’t wait.
Hi, something I would like to do. May I know what kind of paint did you use?
Hi, I would watch my follow up video to see how it held up. th-cam.com/video/7VEk_fWB6RQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vzRVi0hE3DxEarAC. I’ve heard clay paint is a particularly good option, though. I haven’t used it myself.
Looks great. But I’m wondering (hoping) that they make some paint that one can use that still leaves your carpet reasonably soft to the bare foot or when you lay on it - not too harsh finish. You’ve taught me the techniques well though, thank you. Especially the massaging in bit. And thinning it enough so it seeps in . Never would have thought of fabric softener.
I hear there are some more specific fabric dyes, which surely work better. But it’s an idea for now.
Hell ya Nsync shirt ❤
🫶 they’re the best
Clay paint is highly pigmented. I've seen the creator of DIY paint her couch. She is debbie on Debbie's design diary on you tube also.
Ooh, smart!
Wow so nice can I do like you in my rug I want to do gold
Once again, your vision was worth the effort and many moments of hell.
Truly terrifying, but the only way to survive gel is to paint your way out.
