I’ve been looking at a large rug for my bedrooms at the farm for awhile. Although I had been looking for rugs I had not considered carpet. I have pine floors and do not want wall-to-wall carpet here. However, did you know you can order a custom Relax it Lees… rug from Carpet One Floor & Home®? Many times these custom rugs made from carpet are cheaper than going to a rug store to buy a rug. That’s right you can buy carpet and have them make it into a rug for you. Basically you can have your cake and eat it too!
I went to the Carpet One Floor and Home® store at 2504 Bissonnet, Houston, TX 77005. Phone (832) 844-5217
I worked with Gwen who was so delightful and happy to help me. Did I say ‘happy to help me’? Yes I did! She was fun, energetic and truly made the experience so personal. The store felt a lot like a boutique.
Here is what I learned and like about the carpet there.
- Lees® is stain resistant. This is our farm and things are quite casual here. Sometimes human guests don’t remove muddy boots and sometimes we have doggy guests with bladder issues. We need to be prepared!
- Relax it’s Lees repels spills, see above!
- Peace of Mind with The Beautiful Guarantee. This is truly an amazing guarantee. It’s a big commitment when buy flooring. Carpet One Floor and Home® wants to be sure you are happy with your purchase, so if you aren’t, they will replace it for free. That’s what they call The Beautiful Guarantee®.
- Healthier Living Installation from Carpet One Floor and Home®. Healthier Living® Flooring Installation System delivers antimicrobial protection for your flooring, minimizes dust, and inhibits allergens, mold growth and odors. If you have allergy sufferers in your home, this installation service is even more critical.
And now let’s get to the rooms I am working on.
First let’s look at where I am starting.
The problem is that I needed a large rug for the girls’ room, a 14’x9′ rug to be exact to work with all 3 beds. That’s a big rug!
It’s hard to find a rug this large. Also as some readers pointed out, my current little rugs don’t really go with my new bedding.
You can also see the doggy damage to my floors. I figure the rugs will help protect them from further collie damage.
I liked the texture of the Annandale Relax it’s Lees… carpet. The texture is a leafy pattern. Next I had to select a color. Because I plan to keep cool colors in here. I felt that a gray would work better than a tan, and I did want a neutral.
I chose the OPAL SLATE COLOR from the bottom row.
I am doing the same thing in our bedroom. The rug needed to be fairly large to work with our king-size bed. Here the rug will be 8-1/2’x10′.
Right now I just have a smaller rug at the foot of the bed. I’m so excited to have a soft place for my feet when I get out of bed!
I chose the same texture but in a different color. This time I went with ANNANDALE OPAL SLATE.
I’m participating in the “Love it with Lees” Room Makeover Contest. I will definitely be showing you the after photos in a few weeks. Then you can enter to win your own $500 Homegoods gift card by voting for your favorite room. I’ll have details in my reveal post.
Thank you to Carpet One Floor and Home® for sponsoring this post.
Wow! That’s going to be an exciting change for you. Can’t wait to see the “afters”!

It is going to be a change – looking forward to the photos. The rug will add a great deal of warmth to the room – should be pretty. Love your color selection.
I love your wood floors Anita, but I also know what people and pets can do to them over time. I am looking forward to seeing the changes!
Kaycee, thanks! Well you’ll still be able to see them. That’s why I like this option.
Your rooms are beautiful now and I am looking forward to he new look with your rugs. Good idea.
Great choices with the rugs!
Still not loving those 70s looking comforters in the girls room but if they love it that’s what really matters!
Such a great idea!!!!! Can’t wait to see the after pucs!!!!!!
Roxann ?
Of course that was after pics!!!!! Lol…
I’m not opposed to the look of modern carpet, but I love my antique rugs. The nice thing about new carpet made into rugs, is they can be can be custom sized. They will look good, looking forward to seeing the final product!
Can’t wait to see how it all looks. I love hardwoods but love the cozy of rugs!
Excited to see the finished effect! Ripped out 30-yr-old dreary beige carpet in favor of earthy Saltillo tile. Now adding back area rugs to our “cottage”. Thanks for the idea–need a 14×12 piece for our bed-sitting room
Have I told you lately how much I love your page? I learn something new everyday and I just love your photographs! I actually think this might be the first time I’ve ever seen a picture of your master bedroom! As usual, it is stunning! We need new carpeting throughout our entire home (except for the areas with hardwood). I dread that process…I wish we had a store like the one you mentioned to work with! I love your selection, that color would work nicely in my house too. When I do replace the rug in my master bedroom, I am going to purchase something larger like yours…because our wood is getting all dinged up too just from life! Thanks for the great advice!
Great idea! I have trouble finding the right size of area rug also.
I love the texture of the carpet you choose. I put hardwood floors in my living room about 4 years ago and I love the look but I’d like to soften the room with a rug. It’s 15 x 18 and I have to work around the hearth that takes up 9 feet of one long wall. I’d really like a 9′ wide rug and having a rug made would allow me to do that!
Your bedroom looks lovely–and a dash of purple always looks great!
I have never heard of Carpet One and Home so I looked for one where I live and to my surprise there are 5 stores, and 2 of them are very close to me! I had no idea! Now I know where I’ll be going when I need a large carpet rug. Thanks for the info and I can’t wait to see how your rooms will look with the new rugs, I like the colors you chose.
Great color choice, both rooms will be very pretty.

I love your idea! Wood floors with carpet rugs…….best of both worlds. Can’t wait to see the final picture.
Thanks for the great idea. Never thought of going to a carpet store for a large area rug. I will be checking out the carpet one in our area.
I too have been looking for a large area rug, thanks for the great idea!
Really love the interior design too much attractive , thanks for writing great article
Ooh, I like the idea of having a carpet rug made. And I love the particular one you selected. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Is it finished yet?? Can’t wait to see?
No, still waiting on the carpet to arrive Charlene.
I cant wait to see the rooms with carpet!

Looking forward to the after photos.
