Walnut makes for stunning floors in Colorado home

What can we say about Walnut? There’s nothing quite like it. With its rich chocolate color and its fluid, swirling grain patterns, it makes for a rare and spectacular floor.

To illustrate what a dynamic choice Walnut is, we’d like to share with you these photos of rooms designed by Jeanne Wisner of Imagine Kitchens & Bath, which serves the greater Denver area. (Incidentally, we think Jeanne and Imagine Kitchens & Bath are a dynamic choice, too!) Jeanne worked with Kevin Crowder of our Denver showroom to select Walnut in 4- to 7-inch widths. The planks were finished by craftsmen in our Custom Shop with Light Saw Kerf milling, a technique that recreates the look of boards made in early sawmills that contain saw swirl markings. Combined with stain, in this case Carlisle Tung Oil, the kerf marks create striking contrasts in the wood.


Kudos to Jeanne Wisner, and to our craftsmen, for such gorgeous floors and rooms!
