We are going for the ultimate in "Made in USA" for the rug in the nursery, and if that turns out well, possibly for the dining and upstairs living rooms as well. The cost of the rug is also going to help offset some of the costs with the crib that we like.
So, what is super made in the USA, very economical, very easy to clean, and doesn't house dust mites?
Well, a homemade canvas floor-cloth! I have found examples of fabric and painted ones, and due to it's clean-ability, and lack of dust mites, I am going to paint my own! We actually saw examples of these this past weekend in Charleston, as they date back all the way to the 1700s.
There are lots of webpages with instructions for DIY floor-cloths/canvas rugs. Here are some that people have handmade themselves! I found these all over the internet.
There are also tons of sites filled with professional canvas floor-cloths, but I am sure my finished product will not compare, so I'll leave those out there on their own part of the internet.
