Definition- to have secret affection for an inanimate object you are longing to purchase.
Stumbled across my most recent PC this morning thanks to a 'sale warning' email from my fave craft store, Michaels. Let me paint you a little picture...
You move into a new place, get a new couch as a gift from your parents, cute clock from your grandma, and matching throw pillows from your sister. Everything pairs perfectly and you are all set for a dream living room. But you know that your hard woods are going to take a beating if you don't find a floor rug to match. You hunt and hunt and hunt some more. Target, Home Goods, Bed, bath, and beyond... no. luck. anywhere. Nothing matches. Aheeeem, bring in the Vecco!
The what?!
Vecco is a line of products that enable you to fully design and customize your rugs and carpets. Yet another 'why didn't I think of it' idea. The company sells stencils and carpet colorants (made with water base pigments, so they are safe for indoor use, pets, etc.) to help style your rug to your design and color scheme. Designs dry to a powder like substance that can be vacuumed up for easy updating and countless options. Likewise, you can also purchase a colorant lock spray which will make your design permanent, since we sometimes surprise ourselves and create a masterpiece we'll never be able to live without.
Photo example borrowed from C.R.A.F.T's blogpost.
Best yet, the stencils cost around $10 (but, heck, you could make your own) and the colorants are around $15 per can. Meaning 1 plain cheap large rug can be transformed for a price that will keep the smile on your face.
Purchase in store at Michaels or online and get your craft on!
