• Customer Letter: Lanny Brooks

  Posted by Stephanie Urquhart

  To Whom It May Concern,
  
  When I recently purchased a home in Sun Valley, Idaho I searched the internet for the floors that I wanted.  Consistently the “look” that I wanted turned out to be your product.  I called the contact person and was directed to Brian Graham.  After speaking with him for a little while we discovered that we were both in Chicago.  I went down to visit the showroom and left with samples to show my wife.  My wife and I both liked the same floor so we ordered it and were excited about our purchase. We then needed an installer and guidance as to how to make it look like the product that we saw.
  
  Brian was above and beyond helpful. He helped us choose an installer, he guided everyone through the process and called me periodically just to check on our progress. I finally got out there last week to see them and I couldn’t be happier with the result.  I credit Brian with being instrumental in seeing that it was done right.
  
  My wife and I are Real Estate brokers on the North Shore of Chicago.  Whenever anyone mentions Rehabbing we always suggest that they consider a Carlisle wide plank floor.

  Hi Shanon,
  I am sorry to take so long to get back to you.  We have been just crazy busy.  I am sending you some of our photos.  We have a lot more   I will send five pictures in each email. We love our floors and we love the look it gives our home.  My hardwood floor installer, AKA my husband Roland, is out of town for another week.  When he gets back we will write our account of the installation process.
  
  Thank you,
  Michelle and Roland Hankey

• DIY: Walnut wide plank floor installation in Colorado

  Posted by Megan Sprague

  Sarah Bergren of our Denver office shares this information and personal letter from her clients Stan and Tracy!

   

  Sarah -
  We installed the floors this weekend. They look great. Everyone was impressed with the quality product. Installation went smoothly. I had to leave before we started to apply the oil, but Tracy has been able to get a couple of coats down. It looks like the brochure! Magnifico! You can check out our pictures here:

  We're calling in a friend (professional) to do the stairs in a couple of weeks. Next up, new moulding and casing that we can match to the floors. Your advice is certainly welcome on that topic.

  Thanks for helping me get through this. Let me know when you're coming up to Summit, and we'll get you in to take a look.

  Regards,
  Stan and Tracy

• Designer Spotlight: Katharine Posillico McGowan-Katharine Jessica Interior Design of New York.

  Posted by Megan Sprague

  At Carlisle Wide Plank Floors, working with designers is part of our passion.  Whether it’s a fifty floor high rise, private residence or a boutique hotel our design consultants have had countless opportunities to work on their share of stunning projects with the best of designers.
  
  While researching one such project, Katharine Posillico McGowan came across Carlisle on an Internet search when a client of hers wanted to do a solid wood floor over radiant heat.
  
  This particular project was a French chateau style home in Lloyd Harbor, Long Island.  She chose our White Oak wide plank floors as they are a perfect fit for the old world/French chateau style and well suited over the radiant heat system the homeowner chose.  “The wood captures the essence of the home’s old world look and adds an aged character to a new home,” mentions Katharine. She chose to use a dark stain on the white oak and in the dining room selected a very special Versailles pattern. Katharine adds, “my client loved the oak grain and how beautifully the wood took the stain”.
  
  Katharine enjoys working with Todd Waterman, regional manager of our New York sales department. In commenting on the Lloyd Harbor project Katharine states, “he answered all of my questions and willingly sent numerous samples to make the process easier”.
  
  Her work has been featured in Distinction Long Island magazine and was recognized as a one of the “10 New Designers to Watch” by New York Spaces magazine.
  
  Just last month, Katharine was recognized at the 2008 Mansions and Millionaires Designer Showcase as the “Notable Designer” of the Mill Neck Manor Showcase.

• Hagop’s Artwork graces West Hollywood Design Center

  Posted by ChadCassin

  
  We are currently featuring the mixed media artwork of Hagop Belian in our West Hollywood design center. Hagop was born and raised in Syria. He was in his teenage years when he moved to the United States. While at the University of California Santa Cruz, he found a love for creativity. He started experimenting with different mediums such as painting, photography and mixed media. Hagop says, “the inspiration for my artwork is rooted in the realm of what is felt rather than what is seen and is an exploration of emotions based on reminiscences of the past. It represents rebirth, transformation, truth and change.”

  
  
  

  Dan O’Neill from our West Hollywood office is really excited about having Hagop’s work! Dan comments, “Hagop uses reclaimed and repurposed materials from everyday life and with mixed media has created a nice colorful spot in our foyer. His art is of a similar natural reclaimed spirit. He also includes lots of traditional good luck symbols that welcome new clients into our space, and act as a positive omen for our young location.”
  
  Also, check out Hagop’s other work at his website
  
  Check out the photos of Hagop’s work in our foyer.
  Come and see if for yourself at 405 North Robertson Blvd. in West Hollywood
