Walnut Wide Plank Floor

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

A Nashville, TN builder came to us looking for unique wide plank flooring for his spec home. He wanted a floor that would exhibit handcrafted characteristics but still complement the modern architecture of the home. The floor that our design team submitted was a character grade 9-inch wide plank Walnut floor. Walnut wood has a very regal and distinguished look, and to add the handcrafted flare we selected hand scraped edges (for a lightly distressed wood flooring look). Normally, hand scraped ends would also be chosen, but to retain a ‘clean lines’ look (complimenting the architecture of the home) we left the ends untouched. This had a terrific effect that offset the distressed look of the wood for a perfect balance.

Scandinavian Style Interior Design – Beautiful Versatility

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

In my recent reading of various interior design blogs and magazines, I have found a rather modern design style that is becoming quite popular with many professional interior designers: Scandinavian.

This style is incredibly popular among kitchen designers in particular, and I can’t help being attracted to the warmth, and versatility of this design myself. This design style does have many variations, and is generally best described as “modern” and “eclectic” – these may seem somewhat opposing in some ways, never the less, this adequately encompasses the array of design styles known as Scandinavian.

Being in the woodworking industry, one of the first things I noticed about this style was the common use of Wide Plank Flooring, even with the bold contrast in styles – from cozy rustic to clean modern – the Wide Plank Flooring proves a beautiful accent, and seems to be a core component of Scandinavian design.

Enjoy several photos of this truly versatile, and thoroughly beautiful interior design.
