Is this a strange idea?

I have a very small bathroom. It's carpeted and the size makes it very hard to clean the floor. I had been looking at rug patterns for my kitchen and came across an enormous area rug. I really had no intention of making a big area rug, but I was in the bathroom this morning and thought what a great idea for a small bathroom. This way I could just take up the area rug and wash it in the washing machine. My husband thinks I'm nuts lol. What's your opinions? Think it would be tacky?

It makes perfect sense to me. I never really understood carpeted bathrooms myself.

I think it's a good idea. You can make it in whatever size and shape you need for the space.

I agree with everyone else. Maybe if your hubby was the one who has to clean the bathroom he'll change his mind.

Sounds great to me!!! I agree with Island Girl - let him clean the bathroom for a while and see if he changes his tune.

I've always wanted to crochet a rug for our kitchen--but out of fabric, not yarn. Here's a good tutorial on the technique: http://vintagechica.typepad.com/the_life_and_times_of_thi/2006/10/rag_rug_tutoria.html

 

It might look nice in your bathroom.

Old T-shirts or cotton socks are also suitable for a crocheted area rug. If you go to a thrift shop or garage sale you can probably find loads of them. I also wouldn't use regular yarn for this project. If you use T-shirts, you would cut off the binding on the neck (arms, or waist), and then you would start cutting on a spiral for one continuous strand. I think there might be tutorials on the net on how to do this.

Oh socks or t-shirts would be a great idea but maybe too thick for what I want. I literally was thinking of covering the entire floor, corners and all. It's a very small bathroom! I checked out colors the other day. I live 1/2 an hour from the nearest craft store and they are really limited when it comes to materials. I probably will have to order online.
