Update: Congratulations to our winner Christy, who says her spring DIY plans include painting the entry room walls and the front door. Come back on April 5 for another great giveaway!
We all have those DIY projects that don’t go quite according to plan: paint colors that looked so much greener on the chip, cut pieces of wood that are a quarter-inch too small for that coffee table, stencils gone awry. If you’ve ever wished you could press the reset button on your weekend task, this month’s giveaway is for you.
Vecco Studio offers a DIY alternative to expensive designer rugs: You choose from 13 colorants, various rug sizes and more than 150 stencils to create your own designs. The best part? If you don’t like the finished product, you can simply vacuum up the designs and start again. Take as many do-overs as you need, then spray on sealant to make your handiwork permanent.
Ready to design your own carpet or rug? We’re giving one lucky winner a $300 gift card to VeccoStudio.com, so you can choose the rug size, color sprays and design options that suit your home and decor.

This sounds like a brand new trend-what fun! I would love to do this!
to answer your question: I was going to plant spring flowers in window boxes for spring-
This is nifty!! Thanks for the giveaway. Question answer: strip wallpaper and repaint my kitchen.
Very cool idea!!! Would love to try It's right up my alley! ! I am redecorating my bedroom painting my double staircase that I removed the carpet from and painting our house!!!
How cool! Answer question:I will be making drapes for all of the windows in our home and hopefully re-doing the kitchen!
Reorganize my entire apartment and shampoo the carpets!
Love it! I'm planning on painting something on my rain barrel.
Very cool and I hate my current rug so this would be perfect for us!
Something I've been wanting to do for a long time – remodeling my bedroom! This Vecco rug kit would look great in my room when I'm finished!
Since I am moving into the apartment my fiance grew up in and it really hasn't been updated in 40 years
, I have a lot of projects on my list. Two of the most exciting are renovating the sun porch (painting the wood floors and ceilings, hanging sailcloth curtains on rods that run the length of the room, decorating with eclectic/vintage/refurbished furniture) and the bathroom (ripping down the old plaster walls, hanging new drop tiles for the ceiling, painting and adding wainscoting). I can't wait to get started in two months!
My DIY is to set up a small water pond in a container with water plants, I can't wait to get started, I have a vision!
This is wonderful! This spring I will be staining mason jars light sea green!
I am always struggling to find a rug that fits in the rest of my decor! This sounds like an awesome idea!
I'm going to be sanding/painting/staining three mismatched dressers so they all match each other by the end. I'm so excited to get my hands dirty!
I am planing on redecorating my daughters bedroom. She's a teenager now & she was a "Grown Up" room. Should be fun!!
I bet they start having workshops across the country: WINE AND A RUG !!
This could be my spring project! What a cool idea-I wish I had thought of it…
Wonderful idea and great offer!! To answer the question…we are moving in June, so I am purging 9 years of accumulated stuff! Still making time to get crafty though! I just made a burlap carrot door hanger for Easter, and am trying my hand at glass etching tonight!
This is a pretty cool idea. This spring I plan to demo our main/master bath for a complete renovation, big plans.
This spring is going to be a busy one. I am hanging new shutters, changing the porch and lamp post fixture, and patching the driveway. I have someone coming in to do the gutters and when they are done, I will refresh the trim paint.
I am pulling up the very ugly w/w carpet in my bedroom , laying flooring and painting kitchen this summer.
I just bought a old house, this spring is full of DIY projects, we have finished a DIY bookcase to hang wine glasses and working on a farm table now! Trying to put in a rug with some color, this would be fantastic!!
We're going to buy a house soon so we have TONS of projects lined up. Sigh.
I'm planning to FINALLY create my gallery wall!
I have soo many DIY plans! I really want to get my laundry "nook" finished though. I need to build shelves above it!

Aside from the usual Spring cleanup and gardening, we will be laying down new carpet in our home's basement. We could also really use new carpet in the living room to cover up the stains from drink spills, etc., but cannot afford it, so winning this custom-design rug would be fantastic. We are a creative family and this sounds fun.
So Cool, would Luv to try this!
Answer to question; Refinishing 2 Antique Dressers and Headboard… I look forward to this challenge. Did the table a long time ago, and it's about time I do the rest!
Those are pretty neat! My spring project is painting my living room & re decorating it
The DIY projects I am planning for spring are to plant a new flower bed & to update the decor in my house.
I'm planning to redo my patio/pool area! My furniture is getting old & rusty and I need to brighten up the area with some colorful plants and accessories. I have found so many great new ideas at HGTV Gardens that I just can't wait to get started on it!
I am going to paint our kitchen cabinets in our new house.
This Spring I plan to sand and paint my French Provincial 12 Drawer Bedroom Dresser. It is a vintage piece, circa 1950's and is massive in size, yet it is an absolutely exquisite piece of furniture, with its dove tailing construction and ornate drawer pulls. It is a true heritage piece in addition to its ample storage that it provides. I will paint it silver with gold detailing which blends with the rest of my decor.
My perrennial spring favorite project is to get my planting beds ready for plants.
What a swell idea! I was going to try painting two rugs as soon as the weather clears for my Spring DIY project! I have rugs in the attic that are begging to be painted. Or, you know…given away, part two of my spring diy project called TRYING to clean out the attic.
i have a lot of painting projects to do, and need window treatments in several rooms. But I would love a funky new rug as the focal point for the family room, to replace the one that my dog chewed a hole in!
What a great idea. Now you can finally customize carpet or a rug to match your interior exactly. A lot of colors to choose from means that you can't go wrong. Also, the fact that it is customized is something to show off to your friends. No one else in the neighborhood will have the same decor!
Lamp shades, curtains, and anything involving lighting is on top of my list this Spring to make my home brighter and cheerier.
Hi, i work at a lighting company ( http://www.lampsone.com/ ) and you can see we have some pretty cool led lighting stuff that makes my home look really neat so the lighting part of my house looks amazing but that just makes the rest of the house look like a joke and when it comes to the decorating part i am completely lost! My walls are somewhat of a blueish color and i have a white floor. what type of furniture can you guys suggest? also what colors should i use? i kinda want like an edgy type of look…. thanks!
love some of the recessed lighting you guys have there, you should go with some grey sofas and white wall decoratives to complement the floor
This may actually solve my rug problem. I can't decide on anything!
Answer to the question: I'm turning my spare bedroom into a studio.
This would be so neat to win!! Thanks for the chance!!
I'm planning to remove stained wall-to-wall carpeting in the family room and replace it with wood flooring. The Vecco rug would be the perfect addition to the room.
This is right down my alley!! Recently moved & had baby #3… This spring I will be painting & decorating just about every room in our house! I'm a DIY-er so my project list in endless!
I plan on painting several rooms and tile for the first time both bathrooms. Wish me luck.
Will try to make a teepee for my son.
Love it!!! I've been trying to find the "just right" rug!
We are remodeling our bathroom and removing the dropped ceiling…
Need a new Rug for the living room
Paint the living room, and put in a new kitchen floor.
I plan on attempting to put up back splash in the kitchen. I have seen it done so many times DIY.
redecorating the Patio
Have a room in the back of the house that was just used for storage. Changing into a Full Bath/Laundry Room/Closet/Mud Room. So excited! This would be a nice way to throw color into the room other than the walls. I want it unique and me!
We've been here a year, 1860 Georgian…what DON"T i have to do. Kitchen, 2 baths, floors, 2 more bedrooms and a sitting room . Would love to try this product
