Barrineau Residence ~ Beautiful Heart Pine Floors from a DIY

• Posted by
• Shanon Sterrett

We heard from a nice customer on our new Facebook page,  about some new Long Leaf Heart Pine Floors that she installed in her home.   When we saw her post we emailed her for some pictures and she was so nice to send them along!

Kristin and her husband worked with Wide Plank Specialist Lynne Rafuse to design some beautiful Long Leaf Heart PIne flooring for their home.   They were going for a rustic cabin look and Kristin said that the Heart Pine floors were a perfect fit.  Since Heart Pine is naturally a light floor, she worked with Lynne to select our Gingerbread stain, which when applied, would give the floor an older, and aged look.  

Kristin also reports that this project was a succesful DIY project!  Believe it or not about 25% of all Carlisle floors are installed by a Do-It-Yourself customer!

Check out these photos and learn why Long Leaf Heart Pine Floors might be right for you!

Customer “wowed” by her new floor

Karen and Bill from Massachusetts sent an email to their Wide Plank Specialist, Lynne Rafuse, recently to follow up on the recent delivery of their new 6-10" Wide Hickory flooring for their home. 

EMAIL EXCERPT FROM CUSTOMER ~ 

HI Lynne,
We received our flooring, and there is no other word for it but, "WOW", I feel part of New Hampshire has come to Massachusetts, and I could not be happier, thank you so much!  I feel like the flooring is a work of art in itself, I don't think I even want furniture!   I think the floors are enough, but we do have to sit somewhere.

We could not fit it all in our house so we had to have some of it put in the garage, I hope that will not effect it, we have it covered and are monitoring the humiditiy, which has been very low!  I am so excited I cannot wait to see it put down and finished.

There are no words left to say other than thank you Carlisle and thank you Lynne and everyone who helped us and delivered it to us!  Will be in touch with questions when we go to install I am sure!

Karen G and Bill A

Customer Gets Exactly What He Saw Online

It is not very often you get exactly what you are expecting with a product but we heard from a happy customer who had just such an experience when he worked with Wide Plank Specialist, Lynne Rafuse, to order All 10" Wide Red Oak planks for his home. To save him time we hand-finished the floors prior to shipping. 

He writes:

"I liked what I saw on the internet and I loved the sample Lynne sent to me! The actual floor installed is gorgeous and makes the whole project work well!
