{a floor that fits every style and lasts a lifetime}

on my search for inspiration and creative application for all of our reclaimed lumber and architectural structures i decided to look at anthropologie and west elm, two of my favorite shops to glean from and dream of.   i wondered what kind of flooring they were using in their staging for their furniture on their website and in their catalog.  here are just a few of the great photographs i came across.







amazingly enough we are able to provide flooring and give individuals this incredible look and style.  if you are interested in having a floor that is warm and cozy and looks like it came right out of an anthropologie magazine please contact us.  the antique reclaimed pine we sell for flooring looks great with a color wash, stained and applied with its natural finish.  it goes well in homes that have a modern, rustic, bohemian, traditional and antique feel.





here are a few photographs of some of the projects we have done

green + primitive = CREATIVE


it is so great to know that primitive pieces can be so functional...
store books, magazines, blankets, towels, belts.
display candles, dolls, cinnamon scented pine cones.
pile high, canned goods, christmas lights and ornaments.
just some ideas!

black friday feelings

i am on the hunt for inspiration, fresh ideas and trying to gather my thoughts concerning this holiday season.
{DETAILS}  once all the details are gathered and the loose ends are tied, i will sweetly rest knowing that all is well and good.
a rush of excitement overwhelmed me as the cold front blew in...the season is finally changing along with the leaves, and the joyful spirit of the holiday is in the hearts of the people i meet in the shop.
the thrill of finding the perfect gift for loved ones, baking, my favorite christmas music and holiday cheer.  gratitude for the blessing of the birth of Jesus, a King born so long ago...celebration of the true meaning of christmas!

BABY O....{nursery paintings}

i have been working on painting custom 12x12 canvases for a baby nursery...
it was challenging working with a color scheme and "MODERN" nature theme while trying to accurately capture my client's vision.
i loved hearing about all the details involved in the nursery and feeling like the paintings would add flare and another element of creativity to the room.
in the end i had the pleasure of presenting four modern nature canvases to a lovely expecting mom!
