loor with texture has emerged as a top trend not only just for hardwood, but across the board in the hard surface category. Every great interior design includes texture and what better way to incorporate it throughout your home then with your flooring? Many homeowners want a floor that has an aged and worn appearance but also provides the same unique texture and feel. Scrapes, knots, wirebrushed—you name it, people want it. The different textures we will be discussing are often mistaken for one another

Handscraped This look features long, ingrained scrapes and has a high variation between planks. This makes each plank look handcrafted, unique, and rare. It is the perfect backdrop for an industrial kitchen or any rustic design with a ton of character. Wirebrushed Wirebrushing on a hardwood floor helps to bring out some of the softer grain elements in the wood. By pulling out the softer wood grain this creates some texture in the wood that, not only, looks very good but also provides a nice feel underfoot. Distressed Distressed floors have the most character to them. Often mistaken for
floors look like they have been through a lot of wear and tear. Some of the character elements can include scrapes, burns, knots, wormholes, deep sawmill cuts, and pronounced painted not fills. No matter what your style there is a wood look and texture that will suit! One great advantage with a textured floor is that it makes it harder to see some of those scratches or life marks that will happen over time because it already has so much character to the wood. If you live a very active life this could be a nice selling feature for you. As always, if you have any questions or would like to see these hardwood textures for yourself, don’t hesitate to pay us a visit.

ere comes fall once again and what a beautiful season it is. With the tree leaves changing colors it adds so much beauty to the hillsides but it also lets us know that the impending cold is soon to arrive. It’s now time to prepare for the coming snow (just writing the word ‘snow’ made me shudder). I am not a lover of the cold so I best get ‘Everything Organized’ for the coming season so I’m not rushing around last minute.
For many, this virus has made it so many people had a lot of free time this year to start those
projects that we just never seem to have time to start let lone complete so quickly. I know that was the case for me as many projects were started and finished this year which would have normally taken years to have all this time to start and finish so much. Now, although most projects have been completed, there is still some work to finish up on my new chicken coop to ensure no hungry critters get to my lovely chickens and to put the finishing touches to protect the coop for years to come from the elements. For others, preparing for the snow means tidying up the yard a bit; put bikes and hoses away for the season. For many others, and especially this year, with the record number of new gardens, chicken coops and such being built, this year will take some extra work to ensure your efforts were not in vain. For example, this year saw our family planting much more than
usual to give to friends and family that can’t grow for themselves. The processing this year will be that much more work than so if the temperature drops quickly I have to ensure I have all my other chores done. In a nutshell, if you have a lot to do to prepare for the coming winter, the best time to start getting organized for winter is now! Make a list so that you know everything that needs to be accomplished before the snow hits and this will allow you to tie up all your loose ends and to have the home and yard ready for the coming cold.
