True Hardwood Story - Bringing New England to Lake Keowee, SC
Posted by Lesley Anderson
It's a warm, sunny day in Seneca, South Carolina. The gentle breeze is wafting off of Lake Keowee and the air is thick with the sound of birds, the rustling leaves, and...the landscapers? Are they cutting down that tree over the walkway?! Ronda Ringo just finished a conference call when I gave her a call, and amidst the hustle and bustle of her daily life as a Solutions Principal for EMC Software, she now feared that her yard was going to be treeless. Thankfully, everything was under control, and I got to learn of the fateful way that Ronda and Carlisle Wide Plank Floors were united.
Outside of her day job, Ronda loves interior design. Over the years, she's assembled an extensive portfolio of things that have caught her eye - carpet samples, paint colors, design ideas, and supply companies. A long-time subscriber of Coastal Living magazine, Ronda had seen an advertisement for Carlisle Wide Plank Floors years ago, and knew that was what she wanted to have in her home someday. She tucked the clipping into her portfolio without too much thought at the time. When it came time for her to design her own home from scratch years later, the light went on and she remembered that little clipping as she discussed her flooring options with her contractor.

Introducing: “True Hardwood Story” - Carlisle Customer Interviews!
Posted by Lesley Anderson
We're excited to introduce a new type of blog post that we'll be offering to you regularly here on Surface - "True Hardwood Stories" - real stories and feedback from actual Carlisle customers!
Flipping through our books full of heartfelt, handmade customer letters and photographs, we thought it would be a shame to keep that to ourselves and not let others see what wonderful and different ways Carlisle has been impacting the lives of our customers over the years. We'll be conducting interviews and featuring customers on the blog to help tell their story and hopefully inspire you to do the same.
As always, feel free to share your questions and concerns. Are you a previous or current customer with your own story to tell? We'd love to feature you! Just leave us a comment expressing your interest and we'll be in touch with you right away. Maybe you'll get to feel like a celebrity and see your story on the blog someday! What's your True Hardwood Story?
