A perfect dovetail fit
- Posted by
When Donna Carrigan of Damariscotta, Maine, started Dovetail Designs in 2002, she had already been successfully designing kitchens and baths for over a dozen years, and she had dealt with many different companies and product lines.
A Certified Master Kitchen & Bath Designer, Donna has done many medium- to high-end projects throughout Maine and even as far away as Florida. These projects often involve flooring decisions, and she is always happy to recommend Carlisle. When first introduced to Carlisle at a trade show, she was immediately impressed and soon chose to work with us on installing a new kitchen floor in her in-home showroom.
“The room was a real challenge: an uneven concrete floor with base cabinets already in place and nothing was level,” notes Donna. “Yet Carlisle worked with a professional installer and it wound up going down amazingly fast. I had selected the sustainably grown Eastern White Pine in 13- to 20-inch widths, with antique cut nails because many of the homes I get involved with are of that historic period. Then I applied the Indian Summer stain with Antique Satin Tung Oil finish myself.”
“I vowed when I started out, I was only going to work with the best of the best,” says Donna. “In addition to Carlisle’s great reputation and knowledge, their customer service is incredible. And I have not seen any other product that offers such consistent quality, beautifully finished and incredibly wide boards. Customers walk into my kitchen, look at the floor and say they had no idea the building was so old! Yet you can achieve a lot of different looks – from antique to modern – depending on your goal.”
Dovetail and Carlisle. A perfect fit in more ways than one.
