NEW!  Hand Painted Floorcloths and Canvas Rugs

Hand painted floorcloths or canvas rugs have been decorative as well as, functional adornments in American and European homes since the 1700's.  In the 18th century the word "floorcloth" was a generic term that referred to a carpet substitute made from cotton, linen or wool.  In addition to serving as primary floor coverings, floorcloths were also used under tables, sideboards and on top of finer flooring to protect from spills and stains.  Floorcloth are catching on and they are gaining favor and popularity.  A painted floorcloth is durable, colorful, lightweight and economical.  Additionally, they are an easy way to add color to any area of your home.  Floorcloth can be painted to match any decor and design, or can be completely whimsical!  Hand painted floorcloths are very easy to clean and with proper care will last for decades.  Vacuum or sweep the surface and then wipe or mop with soapy water, never use harsh cleaners (you won't need to anyway).   I will be painting more floor cloths and adding them to the website.  However, if you would like to have a floor cloth custom made for you please email me for more info.
