From time to time, especially in reclaimed White Oak, we find timbers with quarter sawn faces–as shown in this photograph. A characteristic of quarter sawn White Oak is a pattern of medullary rays, seen as wavy ribbon-like patterns, which produce a beautiful figure. Quarter sawn White Oak was a key feature of the American Arts and Crafts movement–particularly Gustav Stickley's furniture. © Carolina Timberworks

The matt lacquer in crème antique patinée decisively determines the noble style and expression of the kitchen.

Shaw Vinyl Flooring The unit had stained concrete floors that were in really bad condition. I recommended an extremely durable, luxury vinyl floor by Shaw Floors. Shaw Floors are exceptionally long-lasting and easy to clean. They have a waterproof vinyl finish that is a great choice for high-traffic areas prone to splashes and spills. We choose the “Tivoli Plus” design, but there’s a wide range of hues and characteristics to choose from. We have found that Shaw Floors has a surface and accent design that is perfect for every home. Technically, these floors have an Armourbead® wear layer for enhanced performance and Soft Silence® acoustical pad for noise reduction and added comfort. Basically, they provide a tremendous quality for your budget.
