another monogrammed aisle runner question

Calling all past brides!

So michaels has the 40% coupon this week and I am just itching to try out a sample aisle runner with acrylic paint just to see if I can actually do it. I'm trying to get as much done as I can now because I will NOT have time for this type of stuff next year. If it comes out good and I decide to use it as the real thing, do you think it will still look good 2 years from now? How is yours holding up?

thanks in advance!
