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!
