March was a big month for reclaimed wood flooring and the newsstand! Four of our floors made it to the glossy pages of two home and design magazines, Maine Home + Design, and Old House Journal’s New Old House.
In an exceptionally flattering photoshoot for their Art Issue, Maine Home + Design covered a Yarmouth, Maine painter’s home and studio buildings, in which Longleaf milled three separate reclaimed wood floors.
As a part of the most recent renovation, we milled the delightfully light and airy reclaimed spruce flooring (pictured above) for the barn converted to a painter’s studio. Shortly after finishing the reclaimed spruce, we custom-milled a one-of-a-kind barn floor for the adjacent ‘man-cave’, which shares the second story of the renovated barn, and supplied an incredible salvaged redwood slab for the bar.
In 2000 (has it really been that long?!), we were lucky enough to mill a stunning #1 Clear Flatsawn Reclaimed Heart Pine floor that runs throughout the kitchen and main living area. The floor has since ambered in place and looks richer than ever.
It’s always a pleasure to see beautiful floors installed with care, treated well for years, and ingrained (no pun intended) into the character of a home and family. You can see more pictures and read the article in full by clicking here.
We were delighted to find our reclaimed oak floors featured in New Old House magazine’s Modern Farmhouse issue. Longleaf’s reclaimed oak was installed in a tasteful D. Michael Collins-designed New England farmhouse kitchen, under a beautiful custom soapstone double sink and a classic curly maple kitchen worktable. The installed floor is pictured below in a magazine screenshot.
We’re happy to see homeowners, designers, and architects using sustainable reclaimed building materials to bring character, beauty, and a sense of history to homes across New England and Beyond.
