A new look “drifts” into Carlisle’s NH Showroom

  • Posted by
  • Shanon Sterrett

The term "Driftwood" has been heard throughout the design community for many years now, and conures up images of the weathered grey appearance that is the hallmark of ocean front homes, wood remnants found along the beach, lobster traps and the like.  Today, design professionals want to replicate this look for their clients, but who wants to wait for years to do this?

Our Stoddard, NH showroom was ready for a makeover so what better way to test out this look!  So our expert finishers at Carlisle created a perfect treatment to achieve the driftwood look on 10-15" Wide Red Oak planks installed in our showroom.

Are you looking for this for your project?  Check out our photos and tips to create your look!

Farm Table restaurant
The Farm Table Restaurant at Kringle Candle recently underwent some beautiful renovations, but not at the expense of maintaining the historical accuracy of the 200-year old Colonial home in Bernardston, MA where it lives. It supports a farm-to-table lifestyle, reverence for history, “honest nourishment for the body and elegant respite for the soul.”

Now this is amazing. And amazingly cool. Aether Apparel has just unveiled AETHERstream, its newest concept store. AETHERstream is a shop on wheels, built inside a 34-foot-long PanAmerica Airstream Trailer. It comes complete with a Carlisle Reclaimed Oak floor in 11-inch face widths.

Created by Paris-based designer Thierry Gaugain, Aether’s Airstream is open at 8207 West 3rd Street in Los Angeles through October. Stop in between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m., any day of the week. East Coasters will have a chance to shop at the AETHERstream, too. It’ll move to New York for the months of November and December.

Here are a few photos. Click here to read the Por Homme blog entry on the Airstream, and see more amazing pictures
