Wide Pine Floor adds warmth to Georgia Remodel!

Posted by Kerry Carlisle

Sharon Bondie and Jennifer Sanderson from our Atlanta, GA office assist homeowner with a transformation to her kitchen floors! Homeowner Patricia Jackson had a vision from the first day she called Carlisle: A warm, inviting, old looking floor to make our house a home.

“My new Carlisle floor is awesome! It has transformed an important room in my home. It’s very rich and warm and rustic, which is exactly what I wanted. The Carlisle staff were so professional and easy to work with – I really couldn’t ask for more.”

—Patricia Jackson, who installed our wide eastern white pine floors with a Plymouth Pumpkin stain

DIY: Log Run Hickory Floors

Posted by Megan Sprague

Lauren Power of our New Hampshire design team received this photo and letter from her clients in Walpole, NH! The floor is unfinished… but GORGEOUS just the same. We hope to get some additional photos once the finish is applied!

Hi Lauren. Hope this email finds you and the baby in good health. Thought I would send you a small section of the floor. As of yesterday, it is all in. Moe and I are so pleased. It is absolutely beautiful!! Thank you so much for your time and your help through the process. We will never forget all you did. Are you all settled into your house?

Here's a nice letter and photos that Dan O'Neill of our West Hollywood Design Center received from his clients in Los Altos, California.

Hi Dan,
How are you doing? We moved into our place this past summer - the floor looks great and everyone that comes in admires how it looks.
Thanks,
Mike

Tender Restaurant at the Luxor Hotel!

Posted by Megan Sprague

Tender is the new steakhouse at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas! Carlisle worked with the designers on the project. Here's what Jason Wolfe, Carlisle sales person from the West Hollywood office, had to say about his participation in the project.

"We all decided that to complete the restaurant’s masculine look would be to use our 400 year old Original Gray Exterior Barn Siding, random widths of 5-12” wide and very long boards (nothing shorter than about 10’). The design team is based out here in Los Angeles (great ladies!) and my builder is located in Vegas. Pretty cool project… in a wicked cool setting."

Here's one of Tender's ads
