The interior design experts say there’s a trend afoot for “mixed media”—combining design elements that usually aren’t put together. To quote from Veranda Magazine: “Mixing materials is not a new concept, but it is certainly one that is gaining traction. Exhibiting a flair for the experimental, makers are moving away from the conventional with materials such as rusted iron, stone and untreated woods as they devise new ways to combine the handmade with the machine-made.”
Carlisle was happy to participate in this fun project from Veranda Magazine, which combined our 8-inch Hickory planks—which had been hand-crafted with a footworn look—with luxury bath tiles from the company Renaissance Tile & Bath. (That’s our Hickory in the photo to the left, supporting all those other mixed-media furnishings.)
The tiles are from the Renaissance Tile & Bath Winslow Series, and the style is called Sheridan Cream Honed Limestone. Here the Hickory is finished with Copper Mine stain and Carlisle’s Traditional Finish.
To the left is a sample of our footworn Hickory up-close:
