Reclaimed Wood Compliments any Design Style

Reclaimed wood floors compliment any design style.  Our friends, Brett and Amy Tulacro with Tulacro Development in Bethesda, MD, recently completed a remodel of a Georgia Colonial style home and used our Old Dirty Goat reclaimed wood floors. 

Amy describes the house, “It has a retro feel with the floors but the style is definitely more clean and contemporary with an industrial edge. The floors really warm it up and I have to say that they inspired the entire project as we worked around the colors. The kitchen cabinets are cherry painted black and distressed so the warm cherry wood comes through which ties them into the floor. The hall walls were painted a warm white to showcase the floors and be a backdrop for them.  We LOVE them and want to thank you all so much for making them for us. They are truly amazing!!!”

Amy was a lot of fun to work with & I think she did an awesome job on this home.  The color variation & character of these wide plank reclaimed floors really look great. 

Wood Floor Finishes

There are tons of options out there for wood floor finishes but we are hooked on one we discovered a few years ago.  Would you finish your new floor with vegetable oil?  Sounds crazy right?  Not so crazy if you’re looking for a 0% VOC, natural-looking finish (low sheen) that is easy to touch-up and maintain.  Our Authentic Oil finish is based on vegetable oils with non-aromatic hardeners.  The natural oil finish penetrates the pores of the wood and literally seals the wood from within.  Unlike with polyurethane, small scratches and dents from regular wear and tear are far less noticeable with the low/natural sheen of a natural oil finish.  Instead of screening/sanding the entire floor just to fix a small area, you can touch-up only the areas where it is needed.  We use the natural oil finish on all our prefinished products which also makes a great option if you’re ready to refinish your existing floors.  If you are ready to stop worrying about your wood floors and start living on your floors, give us a call to discuss a natural oil finish. 

Reclaimed Heart Pine

Those in the know ask for Old Crow!  We got such a great response on the material and the story that we just had to get some more.  The Old Crow material will be used to produce both our solid and engineered antique heart pine.  Here is one of the trucks leaving the distillery.  Not exactly something that will fit in the back of a pickup truck.  Due to the history, this material is in high-demand and will go quickly.  Give us a call to learn more about our Authentic Old Crow floors.
