• Monday Morning Mailbag: Customer in love with Heart Pine

  Posted by Christine Halvorson

  We got a note and photograph from customer Lisa Cahill recently and thought we would share them. Lisa had ordered 2,200 square free of 6- to 10-inch wide Heart Pine for her home. She selected a blended grade and the boards were finished only with Tung Oil, no stain. Below is a photo of how the floor looks in her remodeled kitchen.

  Lisa writes: “I love my floors!!! Thanks, again, for all of your help. I actually used the leftover flooring and had a desk top made for my kids homework room.”

  While writing to us, Lisa mentioned that she used a “magic eraser” to remove a shoe mark on the new floor. Unfortunately, the magic eraser had the effect of rubbing off the Tung oil, and she wanted advice on how to fix that. Our designer, Stephanie Buckley, advised her to re-apply a little Tung oil just to the affected area. Normally, scuff marks can be removed with a little white vinegar on a cloth.

  

  Carlisle’s Heart Pine comes from a 30,000-acre plantation in Alabama, owned and operated by the Crosby family. It’s available in widths ranging from 4 to 17 inches, and lengths averaging 11 feet.

• Monday Morning Mailbag: New home in California a “must-see” with installation of Hickory wide floors

  Posted by Christine Halvorson

  Here’s a glimpse at a vacation home in Portola, California, where customer Kathleen Schonder had ordered a Hickory floor in 5- to 10-inch widths. The home was build by Jeff Litz of Litz Construction. Kathleen originally heard about Carlisle floors through Country Living magazine. Carlisle prefinished the floor in Gingerbread. The floor is installed over concrete and radiant heat. (Read more about installing over radiant heat here.) Kathleen worked with our own Laura Leier, our design and sales consultant, to get the look she wanted.

  Kathleen wrote us this note: “Awesome. Couldn’t be happier. A must-see!”

• Premium White Pine pleases this customer; she puts the leftovers every where

  Posted by Christine Halvorson

  We got a nice note and some photos from customer Lyn Sturtevant to show us the end result after installing her 10-inch Premium White Pine floor. The floor was delivered prefinished with Plymouth Pumpkin stain. She worked with our design and sales consultant Crystal Knowles for about a year to get this project done. Lyn wrote:

  Hi Crystal,

  I am sending you pictures of my floor taken at Christmas time in my new kitchen. You will notice a little shelf in the bathroom….the back of it is made up of extra flooring!! Also the bead and board in the bathroom is from Carlisle too. I thought you would get a kick out of seeing it. My desk top is also made of extra flooring. Hope you like the pictures. Enjoy the day, Lyn

• Monday Morning Mailbag: In Angor Hills, CA, Eastern White Pine makes the grade

  Posted by Christine Halvorson

  Carlisle’s Jason Wolfe, working out of our West Hollywood Design Center, got a nice note from a customer of his who had installed 800 square feet of Carlisle’s Eastern White Pine. Half of the 10- to 17-inch-wide boards were crafted with one of our handmade surfaces, hit-or-miss, and the other half were left alone. Overall they were finished with a Vintage Brown stain and Tung oil. Here’s what customer Tracey Jeremiassen wrote to Jason:

  So, months and months and months later, I am finally getting around to sending you some pictures of our fabulous floors. We could not be happier with them. They truly make our house what it is and people comment on them the second they walk through the doors. You were so awesome with us through the whole process and we cannot say enough good things about the Carlisle company. Hope all is well and happy new year! Tracey Jeremiassen
