A crimson carpet stretched from the drive up the terraced steps leading to the great house which was ablaze with lights.

On the left stretched a carpet of dark green moss that bloomed enticingly.

A red carpet stretched across the cement floor, welcoming visitors to a huge door that appeared to be forged of solid metal.

The green carpet stretched away in all directions for at least a mile.

Thick carpets, in blue and cream, stretched over the granite floor.

The rich carpet stretched around the lavish courtyards, so the media could capture his every slow and careful step.

A long black carpet stretched before us, through the middle of the ballroom to the throne at the end.

An unbroken carpet of snow stretched across the clearing.

Pristine gray carpet stretched to beige and pink walls.

Off-white carpet stretched like a vanilla sea down the steps to the sunken living room and a fireplace big enough to roast small elephants.
