Floors to adore with Limited Edition
Posted by Michelle in Flooring and Rugs on August 11th, 2010

Looking back at my very first introduction to carpet care, I realize how naive I was to think that it's all about vacuuming. Certain life scenes with the fabulous rose colored carpet as its backdrop were just not in my imagination bank. How could I possibly picture that one day I'd feed my baby her first bite of peas baby food right in the living room? Like, who in their right mind… Of course, it landed/splatted all over the floor. So, I took to blotting and cleaning and scrubbing and spot cleaning those irresponsible stains.
Why the rose color? My love-at-first-sight house had been redecorated shortly before we bought it, with the sellers making a quick decision to pack up their life into an RV and hit the road. Seriously. So the carpet – it was new, it was clean, it was plush, it was cheerful and we kept it. And then, a few years and some gray stains later, we just ripped it out and opted for something more child-friendly. Living in a ranch house with 3 growing children requires a pinch of practicality, you think!?
Limited Edition carpets are very unique. Firstly, they're from Belgium.

They also come with very detailed maintenance instructions, including preventative measures, daily maintenance, and a stain removal guide. Somehow, that moves me.


A kaleidoscope of rugs made of wool, bamboo, silk, goat hair and other luminous yarns bring you a world of choices for your flooring. Limited Edition carpets are available worldwide, with showrooms in France, Belgium and Germany. Founded in 1992 by Katia de Witte, the family managed company is committed to offering superior quality, sustainable production and a luxurious line of flooring to grace the finest of homes.
