Belted Rug

I was virtual window shopping today and came across this interesting rug from Branch Home.

It's made entirely from vintage leather belts, all artfully arranged and stitched together to make a large area rug.  This one measures about 27.5" in diameter, and I think could be an interesting rug in an office or even a great tablecloth for a round table.

So, this has me thinking about vintage leather belts now:   one idea that I am absolutely obsessed with is buying a junkie stripped steel lounge chair and replacing the broken PVC strips with leather belts to create a leather lounge chair.  Confused?   You'll have to wait until I make it to see what I'm talking about....

I have an antique end table that has really bad water stains that have ruined the finish on the top. This belts idea would be an awesome way to revive it the top! Thanks for the inspiration.

We have a lot of free GIANT wooden spindles that the cable and phone companies give away after they use the cables that come on them. This is a great idea to cover the top of the spindles to make them smooth for card tables and patio tables!! Thanks!!!

I live in an old house with bad floors and too many cats, and I'm sick of vacuuming my many area rugs. I've been thinking of switching to floor cloths, but this is another great idea! Thanks!
