Cool Stuff: Maude Décor Handpainted Rugs


Just try to be in a bad mood in a room featuring one of the brightly hued and boldly graphic handpainted canvas floorcloths from Vancouver's Maude Décor. I don't think it's possible.

Dubbed "art you can walk on," the canvas rugs are the brainchild of creator Patricia Baun, who's given the traditional craft of painted floorcloths a distinctly modern interpretation.

Take a look:

The new Star Quest collection's Andromeda and Ursa Major designs.

Also new: The topographically inspired Famous Canadian Mountains series, including Baldy Mountain and Three Sisters.

Chevron

Band-It

Arlene & Irvine

Blade

Spotz

Fritz

Each handpainted rug is made to order and signed by the artist. They're available as runners or in sizes up to 8 by 10 feet, with prices ranging from $1,100 to $5,760 from Modern Tots or directly from Maude Décor.

Many of Baun's designs are also available as custom-order tufted wool rugs, as well as limited edition 6-by-9-inch ($30) or 8-by-12-inch ($40) archival prints.
