Flooring: Ordered

While the permitting process is making me lose my hair faster than normal, I have ordered flooring/stairs for the house.

Although I had always talked about reclaimed flooring, I found that it is almost double my flooring budget.  I decided on old growth wide plank black walnut flooring.




I'm ordering it from Elmwood Reclaimed Timber in MO.  They seem to have a great environmental stewardship program, and their staff is the epitome of friendly and responsive.

Interior Design


I have hired Lauren Stern Designs to do my interior design/decorating.  She does great work and I'm very excited to be working with her.

You'll may see some design options in the future.  Stay tuned!
