Laurel's Originals

21/04/2026

Need a visual? The client's not sure if she wants a border or what color to use. Here are three samples. I did not use the terracotta color as a sample border because the floor is terracotta tile.

What's your choice?
#1 Tan
#2 Green
#3 Blue

Do you have a favorite rug that died? You love your rug but it's got to go. Nanette showed me photos of two of her favorite throw rugs that were worn out and no longer useful. I replicated the designs of these rugs on canvas rugs, which were much more suited to the climate she was living in. Now she has her favorite designs on canvas rugs that will last for years.
If you are curious about this option, then DM me for a consultation. I can't save your rug but I can make you something beautiful for your home.

Have you ever wondered how I come up with designs for custom canvas rugs?
Often a client sends a photo or shows me an art piece in their home to inspire the design. This beautiful pottery with a chorotega design is the inspiration piece for a rug. As it progresses i'll show you how the design unfolds.
STAY TUNED!
Here, I've tried different sizes and colors. These are painted samples I take to the client to get her feedback.
Do you have an idea for a custom canvas rug in your home? DM me for a consult. It'll be fun!

One of my favorites. The original Sea Dreams hangs on my wall at home. But it's an inspiration to make other rugs. This 5' x 7' will incorporate many of the design elements, but also have new designs! That's the fun of making a Laurel's ORIGINAL!

The Circle Rug design has different colors and themes. This one I call the Happy Circle Design. It's a 7 ft round rug going into a dining room with a round dining table. Her favorite piece of art is a large painting of red poppies framed in gold. This rug will make her room POP!
