Got it — I'll confirm the specific Oak line per photo since this project mixes both. Here's the reference source story for each, adjusted to fit your banned word rules:
Antique White Oak Flooring:
Our Antique White Oak flooring takes the light and bright aesthetic of the species a step further with a subtle, grey patina earned over years of natural weathering. The slight color variation adds a level of warmth and history to this stunning reclaimed wood that equally compliments rustic and modern designs alike. Each plank, milled from timberstock salvaged from 19th century industrial buildings, perfectly displays the unique grain patterns and unbeatable durability of old growth Oak wood.
Antique Skip Oak Flooring:
Manomin Antique Skip Oak reclaimed wood flooring is milled from a mix of red and white reclaimed oak, salvaged from century old structures around the United States. This reclaimed Oak has a beautiful patina that can only come from the aging of old, weathered wood. Underneath that antique veneer are deep warm tones that drink up their surroundings and reflect a truly unique look, unobtainable without reclaimed wood. Our Antique Oak Planks are skip planed, a process where only enough wood is milled off the surface of the boards to level them out, leaving a distressed look that bears the marks of the milling on giant saws more than 100 years ago.
Two edits I made from your website wording: swapped "red and white barnwood" for "red and white reclaimed oak" (barnwood is banned), and swapped "marks of their original milling" for "marks of the milling" (original is banned).
Send over the first Antique Oak Flooring photo and let me know which line it is (White Oak or Skip Oak) whenever you can tell from the grain and finish — otherwise I'll ask per photo.

Existing keywords here are clean, just underdeveloped.
Question before I finalize: Is this White Oak or Skip Oak? The floor shows deep warm reddish brown tones with a mix of lighter and darker planks — this could fit either description, but the "mix of red and white" and distressed skip-planed look in the Skip Oak story seems like a closer visual match than the "light and bright with grey patina" White Oak description. Let me know which is correct.
Also flagging: There's a substantial reclaimed wood timber archway and beam here too. Is that Manomin as well, and if so, which product?
For now, here's a placeholder draft using Skip Oak (my best guess based on the tone mix) — let me know if I should switch to White Oak instead:

"Kerry was invited to our house to bid on our kitchen remodel in August 2012. We were impressed with his courtesy and professionalism from the start. His estimates were prompt and changes to the scope of work were ready the next day. After we went on vacation for a month, we started work in October. The scope of work included: he removed the counter tops, sink, plumbing, all base and wall cabinets, appliances, french doors and backsplashes. He replaced all switches and outlets, and stops on the water supply. He repaired some damaged drywall. Kerry helped us with our cabinet and granite countertop selection and oversaw their installation within the existing footprint. He installed a stainless undermount sink, garbage disposal, faucet, drain plumbing, and airgap. Our experience with Kerry and his crew was positive from start to finish. Everyone was courteous, prompt, and professional. The work was completed in a timely manner and right on the original estimate. Most importantly, the kitchen is absolutely beautiful. Everytime someone comes over they just say "wow, what a great kitchen!" We highly recommend TaylorPro for anyone looking for an excellent, quality kitchen remodel.

Kitchen remodeling inspirations come from a variety of sources including cultural backgrounds, idealistic ideas, up and coming trends, and personal needs. This kitchen remodel was inspired by a faulty microwave. So the start of the journey was not as elegant as the final destination, but it makes for a great story. Oh, and the final destination included 3 bath remodels too! LOL

This remodel started out as a simple deck replacement. Most, strike that, ALL remodels have a tendency to start out with a conclusion. They tell us they want a new this or that. Simple right? And insufficient for the task at hand. That's when we start digging. We started asking why. And we keep asking. We do that to uncover the real motivation and desires that need to be satisfied. It’s how we define a meaningful scope of work.
Almost anyone can slap on a new countertop or replace an old deck. But if you want a new space that literally changes the way you live, that’s on a whole different level.
After several lengthy conversations, these homeowners realized they wanted something that was more of a living space they could use most of the year. But they also wanted it to be integrated into the surrounding nature and reflect the unique eclectic architecture of the house. And of course, they love to entertain, so it had to be inviting, comfortable, and mosquito-free.
Initial conclusion: we want a new deck. Final scope and design: we gave them a 3 ½ season bug-free porch with a panoramic view, a breeze on command, and a tree house to entertain in.
The Sunspace venting panels (not glass) provide unobstructed views with collapsible screens in multiple configurations to control the amount of airflow into the porch. The 18 x 20 footprint is large enough for large gatherings. The decking inside is Dektek concrete tiles with a beautiful stunning glaze and remarkable durability. On the outside, it's Wolf synthetic decking made of 94% recycled materials.

REPOST! #clientstory @jehlisahrae⠀
"THIS IS WHAT CLOSET DREAMS ARE MADE OF!! ????⠀⠀
⠀⠀
When Mario and I were in the middle of the home building process, I started looking at custom closet options. I pinned all of the things on Pinterest and started researching different companies. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Once we moved in, I started doing some research and because of how big and weirdly shaped our closet is, I had a hard time finding a design I liked and knew exactly what I wanted and refused to settle. I had several zoom consults where I designed a closet but it wasn’t what I wanted.⠀
⠀⠀
When I started working with closet_factory_allentown, I fell in love with the design immediately and it only took a few tweaks before I was asking to schedule! The functionality of this space is amazing whereas before, I did not have any more space and couldn’t even use some of my closet because I could not reach it. Everything is adjustable so if we decide to move things around, we totally can! I even have extra room for more clothes now (shhh don’t tell my husband). ⠀
⠀⠀
It’s been a week and it doesn’t get old walking into this space everyday. Swipe to see the transformation from the previous space and to see my gorgeous jewelry drawer! ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
If you are considering a closet project, pantry project or something if that sort, I HIGHLY recommend closet_factory_allentown. If you’re not local though, no worries.. closet_factory has other locations too! ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Oh and head to my stories to check out my closet tour!"

Designing with Intent: Creating Homes That Tell a Story
Have you ever stepped into a home and felt an instant connection, as if the space itself welcomed you? That’s the power of designing with intent—a thoughtful approach that blends beauty with purpose, ensuring every detail has meaning.
We recently worked on a remarkable 1937 home in Palomar Park, California. The project involved reimagining the second floor to create a master bedroom with a walk in closet and master bathroom while preserving the home’s traditional charm. For the homeowners, this house held decades of memories, and our goal was to honor its legacy while creating a space ready for the next chapter.
The Challenge: Balancing Tradition and Modernity
The homeowners wanted their remodeled space to feel fresh and functional without losing its historic character. This meant every decision, from the layout to the materials, had to strike the perfect balance.
We rebuilt the upstairs including reconstruction of the existing bathroom to make an impressive master bathroom and dressing room, and refinished the hardwood floors to preserve the details that tied back to the home’s 1937 roots. By incorporating traditional elements like marble floors and walls in the bathroom , aged wood vanities and new crown molding for the whole upstairs, we ensured the updated design felt authentic and timeless.
3 Tips for Designing with Intent
Whether you’re working with a historic home or starting a new build, designing with intent can elevate your project. Here are three practical tips to help you create a space that’s as meaningful as it is beautiful:
1. Embrace the Home’s Character
Every home has unique features that tell a story. Whether it’s an original fireplace, old wood floors, or a quirky architectural detail, look for ways to celebrate and integrate these elements into your design.
2. Let Function Drive the Design
No matter how stunning a space looks, it needs to work for your lifestyle. Think about how you use each area and design accordingly. A thoughtful layout, smart storage solutions, and durable materials can transform a home from simply beautiful to truly livable.
In this project, reconfiguring the upstairs wasn’t just about aesthetics—it was about creating a layout that served the family’s everyday needs.
3. Personalize Your Space
The best designs reflect the people who live in them. Incorporate personal touches, such as family heirlooms, meaningful colors, or custom features, to make the space truly yours.
For this home, the homeowners were involved in selecting fixtures and materials that resonated with their style, ensuring the final design felt deeply personal.
Why Intentional Design Matters
Designing with intent transforms a house into a home. It’s about more than just aesthetics—it’s about creating a space that feels deeply connected to your story and needs.
At Prime Design and Build, we believe every project should start with understanding your vision. We work closely with our clients to ensure the design reflects their personality, values, and lifestyle.
Let’s Bring Your Vision to Life
If you’ve been dreaming of a home that feels like a true reflection of you, let’s make it happen. Whether it’s updating a historic property or starting fresh, we’re here to guide you through the process with expertise and care.
As I said in our Palomar Park video, “When we come over to your house, we will get to know you so that we can make your home feel like home too.”
Ready to start your journey? Reach out today for a consultation, and let’s design with intent.

Detailed below is the restoration of a Victorian tiled hallway floor that we started back in June in Preston. Although we started in June there was so much damage to the subfloor and the tiles it took some time to complete, additionally, the client did not like the colour samples of the replacement tiles we had brought along and so decided to source their own which took some time.
Three months later with replacement tiles now sourced we were given the go ahead to start the restoration. The first day’s focus was cleaning the original floor using very coarse 100-grit and 200-grit Diamond pads fitted to a rotary buffer machine and applied to the floor using a strong dilution of Tile Doctor Remove and Go to add extra cleaning power. Tile edges were given special attention using a flex machine fitted with small diamond grit pads.
The floor was rinsed with water to remove the soil generated and this was followed up with an acid rinse using a 1:3 dilution of Tile Doctor Grout Clean Up. This last step in the cleaning process is especially recommend for old floors like this which don’t have a damp proof membrane and can suffer from efflorescence issues.
The next stage focused on repairing the floor and started by carefully knocking out all the broken and chipped tiles. We had previously estimated over 30 tiles needed replacing and so the client had bought two boxes, meaning I had plenty of spares to work with.
Before tiling however, the subfloor had suffered over the years and needed attention first. To deal with this the damaged areas were raked out, cleaned up and then back filled with rapid setting self-levelling screed from Mapie adhesives. Once the sub-base was fixed then we put the new tiles back in, they were not an exact match, about 5mm too short and lighter in tone, but the colour was pretty close.
Tiling an old Victorian floor like this can be a bit like dominoes as you move one out of place 2 decent ones come loose and then they also need refixing. Some of the tiles had hair line cracks in them and once they were loose, they just cracked in half. As such the 20 spare tiles that I thought were spare came into good use and I actually ended up using all of them. I could have done with a few more so it was decided to reset the last four broken tiles and grout them in. Luckily for me the client was very understanding about the nature of tile restoration and had accepted that there would be some imperfections and they were not expecting a new floor.
The Tiles were fixed down using Ultralite Rapid Flex (another product from Mapie) and then grouted using the same adhesive (not a grout, as they did not have grout back in the day, just cement and screed).
The floor was left this to cure overnight, and we came back the next day to finish the clean using a 200-grit diamond pad fitted to a buffing machine and lubricated with water, then one last acid rinse to get the tiles as clean as possible and remove any lingering grout haze. This last clean helps to blend the new tiles in with the original.
Before applying a protective sealer, the floor was left to dry for a couple of days, the tiles need to be thoroughly dry before sealing or you can end up with a patchy appearance.
For this floor with no damp proof membrane, it was important to use a fully breathable sealer that will allow moisture to rise through the tile and evaporate at the surface, so Tile Doctor Colour Grow was chosen. This is a good choice for old floors like this as its fully breathable, head wearing, and it contains a colour enhancer that improves the overall appearance of the tile.
Three coats of Tile Doctor Colour Grow which is a fully breathable, colour enhancing sealer hat works by soaking into the pores of the tile protecting it from within. It has a matt finish, and it works really well with all clay tiles and is ideal for these types of floors.
You can probably spot the lighter coloured tiles in the after photos on this page, however it’s a very subtle difference and I think they have blended in quite well with the original. Certainly, my client was very pleased with the newly restored floor, its completely transformed from when we first visited the client, and the floor has now gained character and history. For aftercare we recommend Tile Doctor Neutral Cleaner, its an effective pH neutral product that is compatible with the new sealer.

"THIS IS WHAT CLOSET DREAMS ARE MADE OF!! ????⠀⠀
⠀⠀
When Mario and I were in the middle of the home building process, I started looking at custom closet options. I pinned all of the things on Pinterest and started researching different companies. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Once we moved in, I started doing some research and because of how big and weirdly shaped our closet is, I had a hard time finding a design I liked and knew exactly what I wanted and refused to settle. I had several zoom consults where I designed a closet but it wasn’t what I wanted.⠀
⠀⠀
When I started working with closet_factory_allentown, I fell in love with the design immediately and it only took a few tweaks before I was asking to schedule! The functionality of this space is amazing whereas before, I did not have any more space and couldn’t even use some of my closet because I could not reach it. Everything is adjustable so if we decide to move things around, we totally can! I even have extra room for more clothes now (shhh don’t tell my husband). ⠀
⠀⠀
It’s been a week and it doesn’t get old walking into this space everyday. Swipe to see the transformation from the previous space and to see my gorgeous jewelry drawer! ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
If you are considering a closet project, pantry project or something if that sort, I HIGHLY recommend closet_factory_allentown. If you’re not local though, no worries.. closet_factory has other locations too! ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Oh and head to my stories to check out my closet tour!"
