Customer Letter from Alaska

Posted by Megan Sprague

We received this customer letter from Bean Lacey of Kenai, Alaska! Bean installed his own floors, wide plank Eastern White Pine with our signature Gingerbread stain.
This stuff looks great! What a beautiful floor. It looks just like the old dance halls and saloons. Everyone that comes in just stops and looks!! Thanks Carlisle and also Tim Galvin.

Customer Letter from Virginia

Posted by Megan Sprague

We received this nice letter from customer Skip Ressel of Martinsville, Virginia.
Had it not been for Crystal Knowles' patience, knowledge, help and friendliness, I probably would not have my beautiful floor. She is the greatest!
Skip installed his Eastern White Pine floors too!

Carlisle Attends Abbott Kinney Festival in LA

Posted by Megan Sprague

Carlisle took part as a sponsor in the Abbott Kinney Festival in Venice, CA.

Check out the Abbott Kinney Festival website!

The Abbot Kinney District Association, a 501c3 non-profit organization, celebrated its 24th Annual Abbot Kinney Festival with 150,000+ visitors on September 28, 2008. Funds raised for the AKDA directly benefit the local community.

EpoxyGreen (a local green retailer) prominently displayed Carlisle Reclaimed Wood panels in front of their location, as well as some beautiful Barn Siding adorning the interior walls of their store.

Balash & Greene (a local flooring installer) used some Carlisle Antique Ash to create some amazing public benches specifically for the events gathering spots. It goes to show how beautiful the wood if, that although it’s meant for flooring, the team from Balash & Greene used their magic to transform the planks into functional art work.

As you can see the crowd really appreciated their effort. And a place to relax among the humanity.
