Carlisle has now had its floors installed in a number of J.Crew retail stores around the country and the photos below show the latest project, this time on Broadway in Manhattan. The floors and dressing rooms, plus the cabinetry, were all done in custom-graded milled barn wood. These boards were reclaimed by Carlisle from an old building. For just the perfect look, the old barn boards were sorted to use just the medium- to dark-toned ones, and they were also re-milled to remove any of the original saw marks from when the boards were first made into a building. For this Manhatten project, the boards were then given an Extra White Woca Oil finish.
According to Peter Switzer in our Stoddard, New Hampshire offices, Carlilse has been working with the J.Crew stores for some time. Our floors can be seen in their Hampton, New York location, plus three others in New York City, with a fourth one soon to follow. (We’ll be sure to let you know when.) Our floors are also in J. Crew’s Malibou, California location. Here’s a peak at the J.Crew Women’s Store we did on Madison Avenue in New York—complete with Hickory in a herringbone pattern.
