Our custom home project in Brookhaven is coming along nicely and soon interior finishes will be underway. There are many wonderful design elements we’ve chosen for this home, but this week we placed the order for one of my favorites: Wide-plank wood flooring from Carlisle. Our homeowners have chosen a beautiful Eastern White Pine with a gingerbread finish and a “hit or miss” post-finishing process. Carlisle floors are known for wide planks and long board lengths.
The flooring will be 11″ wide and the board lengths will range from four feet to sixteen feet long! The Eastern White Pine floor is the signature wood from Carlisle. Their “hit or miss” finishing creates a wonderful age and character to the floor, recreating the (cherished!) imperfections of early American floors due to milling equipment used in turn-of-the-century saw mills. Be sure to check out Carlisle if you are considering a new wood floor for your home. They are a family owned company in New Hampshire with a passion for wood products, sustainable forestry practices, and support for small mills and operators who are passionate about their craft.
